Republic Act No. 9465 is an act renaming Pennsylvania Avenue in the City of San Fernando, Province of La Union as Governor Joaquin L. Ortega Avenue.
Pennsylvania Avenue, identified as a secondary national road situated in the City of San Fernando, La Union.
It is renamed as Governor Joaquin L. Ortega Avenue.
In the City of San Fernando, Province of La Union.
It refers to a classification of national roads in the public works/road network system. The significance is that the road is part of the national road network, so official naming and signage align with national road administration.
It provides that the Act shall take effect upon its approval.
It was approved on May 15, 2007. Since Section 2 says it takes effect upon approval, its effectivity is May 15, 2007.
It originated in the House of Representatives.
Passed by the House on September 6, 2005, and by the Senate on February 19, 2007.
Speaker of the House: Manny Villar (signed as Speaker of the House of Representatives). President of the Senate: Jose de Venecia Jr. The signature block also includes Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as President. (The text also shows names of secretaries general for the House and Senate.)
A statutory renaming legally authorizes the change of official nomenclature for the public road, requiring government agencies (e.g., local government and relevant national authorities) to implement it in signage, records, and public references.
They are the presiding officers: the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, whose signatures indicate legislative approval before submission to the President for approval.
No. The text only provides for the renaming and effectivity upon approval; it does not state penalties or an enforcement mechanism.
By directly renaming the road in Section 1, and making the Act effective upon approval, the old name becomes obsolete in official contexts from the effectivity date.
They provide useful information for students on bill origination and passage milestones (originating chamber and passage dates in both chambers) which may help in statutory interpretation and legislative intent discussions.
