EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill proposes to authorize the release of the just shares of Barangayshaya,
Punta Batsan, and Tubog, all in the Municipality of Cawayary Province of Masbate,
from the national tax allolment (NTA) or previously called as internal revenue
allotment (IRA) under Section 285 of Republic Act Number 776A, as arnended,
otherwise known as the "Local Government of 1991".
For the longest time, the said barangavs did not receive any IRA despite their
express entitlement thereto under the law, in effect restri.cting and even stunting he
growth of those barangays to the detriment of their constituencies. There is even no
assurance that under the newly-branded NTA that the said barangays wili receive
funds that they are entitied to. This most unfortunate state of affairs prompted the
author to file this bill, so that the said barangays willno longer be deprived of their
entitlement under the law and to assure their constituencies that their governrnent
wili have wherewithal to deliver public service and develop their respective
communities.
