EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the division of Barangay Tanza in Navotas City into two
(2) barangays to be known as Barangay Tanza 1 and Barangay Tanza 2.

Barangay Tanza only has 4,764,613.39 square meters of land area but
its population of 26,208 ranks THIRD in the entire Barangays of Navotas City.
Peace and order is becoming more and more difficult to maintain within the
continuing growing population of Barangay Tanza. Further, densely
populated area will result to uneven delivery of basic services to affected
residents.

Thus, the people of Barangay Tanza are actively calling for the division
of their Barangay into two considering the benefits it may bring to them.

In view thereof, the passage of this measure is eapnestly urged.
