AN ACT
CREATING A BARANGAY TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY IBAYONG IN THE 
MUNICIPALITY OF BANAUE, PROVINCE OF IFUGAO
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 No. 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 measure seeks to create a new barangay in the Municipality of Banaue, 
Province of Ifugao comprising the sitios of Inacbucan, Matanglag, Talboc, Itanungon, 
Chigchig, Awaanm, Upper Ibayong and Lower Ibayong from the mother barangay of 
Bocos and sitios Liwang, Chalugong, Pinugo, and Bocoh from the mother barangay of


Poitan, all in the aforementioned municipality in Ifugao, be constituted into a separate 
and distinct barangay to be known as Barangay Ibayong. This is to promote the welfare 
of the barangay by ensuring that the barangay enjoy genuine and meaningful local 
autonomy and attain full development, and meet the needs of their local populace as 
well as to alleviate the economic and social plight of the people currently residing in 
the area.
In view of the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
