Republic Act No. 11049 is an act renaming Molino Boulevard traversing specified barangays in the City of Bacoor, Province of Cavite, as Bacoor Boulevard.
The act covers Molino Boulevard traversing Barangays Talaba 4, Niog 3, Ligas 2, Ligas 3, Bayanan, Mambog 4, Molino 2, Molino 3, San Nicolas 1, and San Nicolas 3 in the City of Bacoor, Cavite.
Section 1 renames Molino Boulevard as Bacoor Boulevard, meaning the official road name under law becomes Bacoor Boulevard within the identified barangays.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is tasked to place appropriate markers and issue necessary orders and circulars to implement the act.
DPWH must (1) place appropriate markers along Bacoor Boulevard and (2) issue the necessary orders and circulars to implement the provision of the act.
It takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette or in at least two (2) newspapers of general circulation.
Effectivity is conditioned on publication either in the Official Gazette or in at least two newspapers of general circulation, followed by the 15-day waiting period.
The act originated in the House of Representatives; it was passed by the House on May 2, 2017 and by the Senate on March 12, 2018.
It was approved by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on June 29, 2018.
It reflects the bicameral passage and required executive approval for a bill to become a law, with signatures from the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, and the President of the Philippines.
Street naming signage and official reference materials would be updated to reflect “Bacoor Boulevard,” affecting wayfinding and governmental documentation that relies on road names.
The text indicates renaming and implementation through markers and administrative issuances; it does not mention construction, widening, or alteration—only the road name is changed.
Specifying the barangays clarifies the geographic coverage of the renamed road, reducing ambiguity about which segment(s) of “Molino Boulevard” are covered by the renaming.
They should state that Bacoor Boulevard is the renamed Molino Boulevard that traverses the listed barangays in the City of Bacoor, Province of Cavite, as enumerated in Section 1.
