Clear roads of illegal structures and constructions on their respective barangays by Congressman Cel

September 18, 2019


In line with the national government’s mandate and as part of the ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and promote the safety and welfare of all residents in Iligan City, all barangay officials are hereby ordered to clear the roads within their respective areas of jurisdiction of any illegal structures and constructions that obstruct the flow of traffic, compromise public safety, or violate existing laws and regulations.

Background and Legal Framework

This directive is a crucial part of the nationwide road clearing operations aimed at reclaiming public roads for their intended use, which include proper transportation, mobility, and pedestrian safety. The national government, through the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), has issued a clear mandate for all local government units (LGUs) to comply with the requirements of the road clearing program. This initiative is based on Republic Act 11229, also known as the Road Clearing Act of 2019, which directs the removal of road obstructions that have been impeding the efficient use of public roads.
