JALA, Julie Ann 3 BSBA-FM GEC RIZAL

Question:
Should you have a chance to propose a bill to your district
representative/s, what would it be and why? Discuss in 500 word.

Answer:
In a democratic society, the engagement of citizens in the legislative
process is a fundamental aspect of governance. Every district representative is
elected to serve the interests and needs of the community, and they rely on
input from constituents like us to make informed decisions. It demonstrates my
commitment to creating a positive impact and encourages others to actively
participate in shaping the future of our district. By proposing a bill, I will not only
voice my concerns but also contribute to the collaborative effort of building a
stronger, more responsive government that works for the benefit of all citizens.

And if I am given a chance to propose a bill to our district representative with

knowledge about the recent issue in our province, it would be legislation for
“Enhanced Road Safety and Strategic Road Renovation." Our district is
experiencing a concerning increase in road accidents, partly attributable to the
deteriorating conditions of our roads and there are still roads that are not safe to
travel in some places in Bohol specifically baranggay roads. The bumps, holes,
and uneven surfaces on the roads can be dangerous for drivers, causing them
to lose control of their vehicles. These road problems can lead to accidents
because drivers may struggle to navigate safely. By fixing the potholes and
making sure the roads are in good condition and constructing a safety road in
the places like baranggay road , we can reduce the chances of accidents and
make it safer for everyone who uses our roads. It's important to let our
representatives know about this problem so they can take action and improve
the conditions of our roads for everyone's safety. This proposed bill aims to
address this pressing issue by combining efforts to improve road safety
measures and implement strategic road renovation practices
 This bill should include regular maintenance and repair of existing roads to
prevent potholes and uneven surfaces, reducing accidents caused by
deteriorating road conditions. Prioritize the construction of new roads where
necessary, focusing on areas with high traffic density and those prone to
accidents. Upgrade and install modern traffic signals and clear signage at
intersections, pedestrian crossings, and other critical points to improve traffic
flow and reduce confusion. Launch comprehensive road safety awareness
campaigns to educate the public about responsible driving, pedestrian safety,
and the importance of adhering to traffic rules. Install emergency call boxes
along highways and high-traffic areas to facilitate quick response in case of
accidents or emergencies. And launch a first aid awareness program to help
citizens especially drivers learn to be more conscious of safety in the road,
leading to a reduced number of accidents and injuries. Collaborate with relevant
agencies to ensure timely and cost-effective project completion. By following the
ideas in this bill and by working together as good citizens, we can create a
district where everyone can travel without worries and enjoy a higher quality of
life.
