Eighteenth Congress
First Regular Session

HOUSE BILLNo. 5599

Introduced by HON. SOLOMON R. CHUNGALAO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Inline with the Duterte Administration’s policy of bringing the government
closer to the people, this proposed House Bill entitled “An Act Creating a
Barangay to be Known as Barangay Dengao in the Municipality of Tinoc,
Province of Ifugao and Appropriating Funds Therefore” is aimed to carve
out Sitio Dengao from Barangay Ahin, Tinoc, Ifugao and create it into a
regular barangay to address the difficulty, isolation and challenges faced
by its people in the availing of basic, socio-economic and agro-industrial
government services.

The indigenous people of Sitio Dengao are deprived from privileges being
enjoyed by most of their neighbors due to the geographically disadvantaged
location of their place like one must travel miles by foot and across towering
mountains just to avail or transact for services. In order to let the people
of Dengao feel that they are not discounted from society, separating their
Sitio from its mother barangay, Barangay Ahin, and creating it as an
independent barangay is a chance of a lifetime given to its people to attain
self-determination and self-governance to gear up their community
towards meaningful development and progress.

Given the situation, it is most respectfully urged that this bill be approved

with utmost urgency and significance.
