House Bill No. 10764 proposes to name a significant road in Ormoc City, Leyte, as the Dominador Gomez Diversion Road. This road commences from Barangay San Juan at the Ormoc City Diversion Road and traverses Barangays San Juan, Lao, and Naungan until it adjoins the Naungan Coastal Road. The bill mandates the Department of Public Works and Highways to issue the necessary implementing rules and circulars within sixty days of its effectivity, and the Act itself will take effect fifteen days after its publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation.
The renaming of this road holds considerable impact and significance for the local community. It serves as a lasting tribute to Dominador Gomez, whose contributions and legacy are deemed worthy of such recognition by the representatives sponsoring this bill. For the people of Ormoc City, particularly those residing in Barangays San Juan, Lao, and Naungan, the new designation of this vital thoroughfare will not only serve as a daily reminder of a significant local figure but also reinforce a sense of identity and shared history within their community.
