EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Article XIII Section 11 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that, “Each local 
Government unit shall have the power to create its own sources of revenues and to levy taxes, fees, 
and charges subject to such guidelines and limitations as the Congress may provide, consistent with 
the basic policy of local autonomy. Such taxes, fees, and charges shall accrue exclusively to the local 
governments.” 
Section 2 of Executive Order No. 249 dated July 25, 1987 provides that, “Municipalities are 
divided into six (6) main classes according to the average annual income that they actually realized 
during the last four calendar years immediately preceding the general classification, as follows: a) First 
class Municipalities that have obtained an average annual income of fifteen million pesos or more;”. ‘ 
Chapter 1 Section 442 (c) of the Local Government Code of 1991 states that, “The average 
annual income shall include the income accruing to the general fund of the municipality concerned, 
exclusive of special funds, transfers and no-recurring income.” 
The Municipality of Braulio E. Dujali, Davao del Norte has an area of 9,100 hectares consisting 
of five (5) barangays, and has a population of 30,104 based on the 2015 National Statistics Office 
Survey. 
For twenty (20) years, the Municipality of B.E. Dujali has been classified as a fourth-class 
municipality. However, it has grown faster than expected in terms of income, that in the last four (4) 
years, it has gained an average annual income of Php 88 million. Hence, it is qualified to be classified 
as first-class municipality. 
The immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought.
