EXPLANATORY NOTE

‘Article Xill Section 11 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution states that, “Each local government
unit shall have the power to create its own sources of revenues and to levy taxes, fees, and charges
subject to such guidelines and limitations as the Congress may provide, consistent with the basic policy
of local autonomy. Such taxes, fees, and charges shall accrue exclusively to the local governments.”

Section 2 of Executive Order No. 249 dated July 25, 1987 provides that, “Municipalities are
divided into six (6) main classes according to the average annual income that they actually realized
during the last four calendar years immediately preceding the general classification, as follows: a) First
class Municipalities that have obtained an average annual income of fifteen million pesos or more;”.

Chapter | Section 442 (c) of the Local Government Code of 1991 states that, “The average
annual income shall include the income accruing to the general fund of the municipality concerned,
exclusive of special funds, transfers and non-recurring income.”

‘The Municipality of Braulio E. Dujali, Davao del Norte has an area of 9,100 hectares consisting
of five (5) barangays, and has a population of 30,104 based on the 2015 National Statistics Office
Survey.

For twenty (20) years, the Municipality of B.£. Dujali has been classified as a fourth-class
municipality. However, it has grown faster than expected in terms of income, that in the last four (4)
years, it has gained an average annual income of Php 88 million. Hence, itis qualified to be classified
as a first-class municipality.

‘The immediate passage of this measure is then earnestly sought.
