Introduced by REP. TEDDY BRAWNER BAGUILAT

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

The proposed House Bill entitled “An Act Creating a Barangay to be known as Barangay
Liwon in the Municipality of Asipulo, Province of Ifugao” is aimed at converting the Special

Economic Zone (SEZ) of Liwon into a Barangay.

‘The Special Economic Zone of Liwon is a part of Barangay Amduntog of the Municipality
of Asipulo, It is bounded on the North by Barangays Amduntog and Nungawa, South by
Barangay Namal and the Municipality of Tinoe, E:

t by Barangay Antipolo and on the West

is Barangay Julongan of the Municipality of Kiangan.

The SEZ of Liwon is currently suffering as a government unit due to its geographical
isolation and peculiar dialect from its Mother Barangay of Amduntog, It has resulted in the
dependence of Liwon to the Barangay which in turn stifles its progress. To ensure the
independence of the SEZ from its Mother Barangay and for it to be able to economically

fend for itself, the creation of a new barangay is necessary.

Given this reason it is most respectfully urged that this bill be approve most urgency

and significance.
