First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO. 214

Introduced by:
REP. FRANCISCO JOSE F. MATUGAS II
1S" District Surigao del Norte (Siargao Island)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the creation of a new barangay, separate from Barangay
Navarro, to be known as Barangay Don Albino L. Taruc in the Municipality of
Socorro, Surigao del Norte, to be composed of Puroks |, Il, Ill, and IV.

Puroks |, ll, Ill, and IV have a total contiguous land area of 350,000
square meters (35 hectares), more or less. The proposed barangay has a
population of more than 2.000 as of 1 May 2000 and its creation will not
reduce the population of Barangay Navarro to less than the prescribed
minimum required by law.

On 9 March 1995, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Surigao del Norte
adopted Ordinance No. 001 entitled “An Ordinance Creating Barangay
Albino Taruc in the Municipality of Socorro, Surigao Del Norte and For Other
Purposes.” The said ordinance aimed to improve the planning and
implementation of government policies, projects and activities and thereby
promote the welfare and happiness of the residents in the area concerned
and encourage them to work for progress and ensure their development as a
self-reliant community.

Indeed, the growing population in Barangay Navarro proper coupled
with viable socio and economic services that could stir socio-economic
growth and development are compelling reasons for the residents in the
concemed puroks to clamor for the creation of the new Barangay Don
Albino Taruc.

Considering the benefits of the creation of this barangay to the people
concerned, approval of this bill is eamestly requested.
