EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to convert the Aglipay -Kasibu Road traversing Barangays Eden, Burgos, I)ibibi, and
Tucod in the Municipality of Cabarroguis, Province of Quirino and Barangays Alimit, Capisaan,
Tokod, Wangal, Bilet, and Catarawan in the Municipality of Kasibu, Province of Nueva Vizcaya into
a national road.
The proposed road conversion will bring about improved accessibility to the Province of Quirino by
directly connecting Quirino to Nueva Vizcaya. As a landlocked province, access to and from Quirino
is primarily facilitated by the Cordon-Diffun-Maddela-Aurora Road which runs from Cordon, Isabela
in the north to Dinalungan, Aurora in the south. There is currently no national road that directly
connects Quirino to the neighboring province of Nueva Vizcaya. By establishing a national road,
appropriate attention and funding can be given to the development of Quirino's direct cormection to
Central Luzon through Nueva Vizcaya.
