HOUSE BILL NO._2 86

Introduced by HON. LAARNI LAVIN ROQUE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of Valencia
into four separate and distinct barangays.

Barangay Poblacion has a population of thirty-five thousand seven hundred
ninety-three (35,793) as per 2015 census. Considering the population density in
the said barangay, the barangay officials therein is faced with great difficulty to
fully implement their mandates and directives. For this reason, this representation
believes that the subdivision thereof would result to a more efficient, effective and
economical governance. Further, the affected residents will be afforded an even
delivery of basic services.

Considering the requisites of population and territorial jurisdiction, the
subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of Valencia into four separate and
distinct barangay is in order, pursuant to Republic Act No. 7160, as amended,
otherwise known as the “The Local Government Code of 1991” and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations.

This bill was filed by the previous Representative of the Fourth District of

Bukidnon during the 17*, 18% and 19 Congresses. This bill is therefore filed for
the consideration of this Congress.
