HOUSE BILL NO. ________ 
Introduced by Hon. Amparo Maria J. Zamora 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This is a re-filed version of House Bill (H.B.) No. 4750 introduced by Former 
Representative Maria Laarni Cayetano during the 18th Congress. The bill was 
approved on third and final reading on November 4, 2019 and has been transmitted 
and received by Senate on November 5, 2019.  
This bill seeks to invoke the 1987 Constitution and RA 7160 by allowing 
Barangay South Signal Village to be entitled to a just share from the national taxes.  
Barangay South Signal Village, located within the City of Taguig, Metro 
Manila, is one such barangay excluded from a share in the IRA. It has a land area of 
Eight Hundred One Thousand Two Hundred square meters (801,200 sq.m.), more or 
less, and a population of Forty Three Thousand  Forty Seven(43,047).  It is bounded 
on the North by  Luzon  Avenue,  Espino  Street, Callejon Balleser Street and Calle 
Cabasaan; on the South and Southwest by Maharlika Village, a creek, Barangay 
Upper Bicutan (Proclamation No. 172) PSD-013-002680; on the East by NAPOCOR 
High Tension Line; and on the West by F.T.I. Compound. 
Having thus complied with the requisites prescribed under Section 386 of the 
Local Government Code and the plebiscite requirement contained in Section 10, 
Article X of the Constitution, it was separated from the original Barangay Signal and 
created as a separate barangay by the City Government of Taguig, acting through the 
Sangguniang Panlungsod, under City Ordinance No. 60-2008. Its corporate existence 
began when its first set of regular officials was elected, pursuant to Section 14 of the 
Local Government Code, on October 25, 2010.

In view of these considerations, and in the face of resonating and unified public 
clamor for a clear and immediate legislative remedy to the matter at hand, the 
immediate approval of this bill is highly and earnestly sought.
