HOUSE BILL

Introduced by HON. ZAJID G. MANGUDADATU_

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill secks to create a municipality in the Province of Maguindanao to be known

purpose of legally providing its share in the Internal Revenue Allotment pursuant to Section
85 of Republic Act No. 7160, as amended, otherwise known as the “Local Government Code
of 1991.”

Through the Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 204 of the Regional Legislative
Assembly of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the Municipality of
Mangudadatu was created on November 22, 2006 and later ratified on December 30, 2006.
However, the Municipality was created pursuant to the provisions of Muslim Mindanao
Autonomy Act No. 25 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of ARMM which has
lower standards than that prescribed by Republic Act 7160, as amended, which rendered the
Municipality unqualified for entitlement in the share of the Internal Revenue Allotment.

Despite of its existence without having an Internal Revenue Allotment for more than a
decade, the Municipality of Mangudadatu has continuously demonstrated improvement and
growth of its performance in terms of local governance and delivery of basic services to its
constituents.

The growth and improvement can be manifested through the rapid infrastructure
development in the Municipality, and the presence of several investors currently operating
within its area of jurisdiction. Moreover, it also demonstrated efficiency in the collection of
its local income as prescribed in Republic Act 7160.

Based from the Philippine Statistics Authority Census in 2015, the Municipality has a
population of twenty five thousand and forty six (25,046) rendering it qualified to a share in
the Internal Revenue Allotment in accordance with the provisions of Republic Act 7160.



‘After more than a decade of being deprived of its share in the Internal Revenue
Allotment, the people of the Municipality of Mangudadatu deserved to be granted a local
‘government unit that could provide them improvement in the delivery of basic services which
is currently unavailable due to the absence of the internal revenue allotment. The
enhancement in the delivery of basic services such as promotion of public health, peace and
order, environmental, social order, and general welfare shall be effectively and efficiently
provided if the internal revenue allotment is granted to the Municipality.

‘As such, swift passage of the foregoing measure is earnestly sought.
