_Introduced by HON. ROGELIO NEIL P. ROQUE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of
Valencia into four separate and distinct barangays.

Barangay Poblacion has a population of 38,584, as per 2010 census.
Considering the population density in the said barangay, the barangay officials
therein is faced with great difficulty to fully implement their mandates and
directives. For this reason, this representation believes that the subdivision
thereof would result to a more efficient, effective and economical governance.
Further, the affected residents will be afforded an even delivery of basic
services.

Considering the requisites of population and territorial jurisdiction, the
subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of Valencia into four separate and
distinct barangays is in order, pursuant to Republic Act No. 7160, as amended,
otherwise known as “The Local Government Code of 1991” and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations.

During the 16" Congress, this bill was filed (HB 5927). This bill is
therefore refiled for the consideration of this Congress.
