EXPLANATORY NOTE 
For many barangays, the National Tax Allotment (formerly the Internal Revenue 
Allotment) is the primary and largest source of operating revenue for financing basic 
services, development projects, and various devolved functions. These include among 
others, the delivery of basic health and social services, maintenance of local roads 
and utilities, support for public order and safety, and management of community 
facilities. Given the central role of the NTA in sustaining these legally mandated 
services and related budgetary obligations, it is urgent that Barangay Central Signal 
Village (Taguig City) receives its full and properly computed share in national taxes. 
Barangay Central Signal Village, with a land area of approximately 775,400 square 
meters and a population of 47,6641, was established pursuant to City Ordinance No. 
61-2008 enacted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig and approved on
September 22, 2008. Following the conduct of a plebiscite and the election of its first
set of officials on October 25, 2010, the barangay began to operate as a distinct
corporate entity, consistent with Section 14 of the Local Government Code.
Despite its formal creation and compliance with the legal requisites for barangayhood 
under Section 386 of the Local Government Code, Barangay Central Signal Village 
has yet to receive its NTA. As former Barangay Chairman of Barangay Fort Bonifacio 
in Taguig City, I saw firsthand the difficulties of managing a fast-growing community 
without its proper share of the NTA. This persistent exclusion has deprived the 
barangay of critical resources necessary for the delivery of basic services and facilities 
enumerated in Section 17 (b) of the Local Government Code, particularly those 
devolved by the national government. 
Geographically, Barangay Central Signal Village is bounded by Sampaloc Street and 
M.R.T. Avenue (formerly Cuasay Street), NAPOCOR High Tension Power Line,
Governor Rodriguez Avenue, Luzon Avenue, Espino Street, Callejon Balleser Street,
Calle Cabasaan, Veterans Compound, and F.T.I. Compound -  all within or adjacent
to territories historically associated with boundary disputes in Metro Manila.
Nonetheless, its recognition as a separate and functioning barangay under the
jurisdiction of the City of Taguig has long been established.

This proposal seeks to correct an administrative gap and ensure that Barangay Central 
Signal Village is granted full fiscal recognition as a local government unit so it can 
deliver the basic services and fund local projects for the benefit of its residents. 
No less than the 1987 Constitution mandates that “Local government units shall have 
a just share, as determined by law, in the national taxes which shall be automatically 
released to them.” 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
