HB10308: AN ACT RENAMING THE GUBAT BYPASS ROAD TRAVERSING BARANGAYS BERIRAN, COTA NA DACO, MANOOK, SANTA ANA, LUNA-CANDOL, PANGANIBAN, AND ARIMAN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF GUBAT, PROVINCE OF SORSOGON, TO MA. BERNARDITA B. RAMOS HIGHWAY
House Bill No. 10308 proposes to rename the Gubat Bypass Road in the Municipality of Gubat, Province of Sorsogon, to the Ma. Bernardita B. Ramos Highway. This renaming affects several barangays traversed by the road, including Beriran, Cota Na Daco, Manook, Santa Ana, Luna-Candol, Panganiban, and Ariman. The Department of Public Works and Highways is tasked with implementing this change through necessary rules and circulars within sixty days of the Act's effectivity.
The significance of this resolution lies in its potential to honor an individual through a prominent public infrastructure. Renaming a road can serve as a lasting tribute and a reminder of contributions made by Ma. Bernardita B. Ramos, the namesake. While the direct impact on daily life for the people in the affected barangays might seem largely symbolic, such acts of recognition can foster a sense of local pride and acknowledge figures important to the community's history or development.
