HOUSE BILL NO. ________ 
Introduced by Hon. Amparo Maria J. Zamora 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This is a re-filed version of House Bill (H.B.) No. 457, substituted by 
H.B. No. 4774 introduced by Former Representative Maria Laarni Cayetano during 
the 18th Congress. The bill has been approved by the House of Representatives 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 Katuparan to be entitled to a just share from the national taxes.  
Barangay Katuparan, 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 Three Hundred 
Seven Thousand Seven Hundred square meters (307,700 sq.m.), more or less, and a 
population of Twenty Seven Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Eight (27,228).  It 
is bounded on the North by Pamayanang Diego Silang and Pinagsama Village Phase 
2; on the South by   Barangay   Signal   Village   (Proclamation 11 
No. 172) Psd-13-
02057; on the East by NAPOCOR High Tension Line; and on the  West   by  HHSG  
and   Barangay   Signal  Village (Proclamation No. 172). 
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 
Village and created as a separate barangay by the City Government of Taguig, acting 
through the Sangguniang Panlungsod, under City Ordinance No. 59-2008. Its 
corporate existence began when its first set of regular officials was elected, pursuant 
to Section 14 of the Local Government Code.

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.
