EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘This bill seeks to separate the sitio of San Isidro from its mother barangay, Barangay VI
of the Municipality of Talisay, Province of Batangas, in order to create a new barangay to be
known as Barangay San Isidro.

‘As a basic political unit, the barangay serves as “the primary planning and implementing
unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects and activities in the community and as the
forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and given due
course and when contending claims may be amicably settled” (Section 384, Republic Act No.
7160), Hence, the ereation of a new barangay is necessary in order to meet the priority needs of
its communities, as well as to augment the delivery of local public service due to them.

The sito of San Isidro, situated within the sitio of Pulo in the municipality of Talisay,
Province of Batangas, seeks to separate from its mother barangay, Barangay VI. The sitio of San
Isidro has a total land area of 627 hectares and a growing number of population, ‘The increasing
population in the sitio of San Isidro are among the compelling reasons of the populace in their
Ciumor for the creation ofa regular and independent barangay. In addition, the community of the
sitio of San Isidro do not participate in the local elections and thus, denied the right to elect their
‘own barangay officials.

The creation of Barangay San Isidro will ensure its proper representation in local
governance, Furthermore, it will be able to carry out the purposes of the barangay government in
decordance with the needs of public service. As such, the general welfare of the residents of the
Sitio of San Isidro will considerably improve if they have their own government officials who
will effectively attend to their common needs and concems.

Considering the benefits of the creation of this barangay to the people concerned,

approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
