Title Supreme Court: Conversion of Talaba-Summit-Panaon Road

Law: Republic Act No. 9197

Decision Date: Mar 13, 2003

Republic Act No. 9197 converts the Talaba-Summit-Panaon Provincial Road into a national road, placing its maintenance and improvement under the responsibility of the Department of Public Works and Highways, with funding allocated through the General Appropriations Act, effective immediately upon approval.

A

Responsibility for Road Improvement and Maintenance

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), through its Secretary, is tasked with the improvement, maintenance, and repair of the road.
Funding for these activities shall be sourced from the annual General Appropriations Act, ensuring budgetary allocation for the road's upkeep.

Effectivity of the Act

The law takes effect immediately upon its approval.
Notably, the Act lapsed into law on March 13, 2003, due to the absence of the President's signature, as provided under Article VI, Section 27 (1) of the Philippine Constitution.

Legislative Process and Approval

The legislation originated in the House of Representatives.
It was passed by the House on May 7, 2002, and by the Senate on December 18, 2002.
The final approval is documented with signatures of key legislative leaders and the President of the Philippines, despite the law’s lapse into effect without the President’s signature.
