AN ACT 
CREATING A BARANGAY TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY PULUNG BULU 
IN THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Barangay Pulung Bulu is a distinct and independent barangay in the City of 
San Fernando, Province of Pampanga, created pursuant to Ordinance No. 2002-010, 
Series of 2002 dated September 25, 2002, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City 
of San Fernando, Province of Pampanga. 
As a barangay created by a local government, Barangay Pulung Bulu has been 
deprived of its rightful share of the Internal Revenue Allotment provided under the 
Local Government Code even though as a basic political unit, it is instrumental in the 
creation of favorable business environment in the locality which attracts investors, 
thereby generating revenues for the said barangay and to the country. 
With this bill, it is expected that the inequitable situation of Barangay Pulung 
Bulu will be corrected and remedied, for the said barangay to receive its just share of 
Internal Revenue Allotments, enabling it to deliver better public services, which 
would greatly benefit its constituents. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
