EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 9 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that "'The State 
shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and 
independence of the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that 
provide adequate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, and 
an improved quality of life for all."
The Local Government Code of the Philippines or Republic Act 7160 provides that 
the barangay serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of government 
policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the community, and as a forum 
wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and 
considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled. To serve the aforementioned 
purposes in establishing a barangay, the population of the barangays must be 
maintained in such a manner that the constituents will be represented accordingly.
The Municipality of Suyo is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. 
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) conducted the census-taking for the 2015 
Census of Population (POPCEN 2015) in August to September 2015. According to 
POPCEN 2015, Suyo is politically subdivided into eight (8) barangays only while it has 
a population of 11,446 people.
The purpose of this bill is to make government programs, services, and facilities 
closer to the constituents by creating a new barangay. This bill is also deemed relevant 
to meet the demand for socio-economic development and more efficient access to 
government resources especially during this time of pandemic.


This bill seeks the creation of a new barangay to be known as Barangay Barangay 
Kinapian in the municipality of Suyo, Ilocos Sur, to be composed of Sitios of Kimbuaya, 
Longbo, Bulala, Kinapian, Indadangan, Kumanibe and Macaag, separating them from 
the mother barangay, Barangay Suyo Proper.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
