HOUSE BILL NO. 5761

Introduced by Hon. Frederick F Abueg

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The proposed bill seeks to create Barangay Panacan-2 into a regular barangay
unit in the Municipality of Narra, Province of Palawan. This bill also entitles
Barangay Panacan-2 to its regular share in the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), in
accordance with Section 285 of the Local Government Code, to ensure its capacity to
address the needs of its residents and to provide sufficient resources for the barangay’s

continued development.

By virtue of the Sangguniang Bayan ng Narra Resolution No. 875, Series of
2005 and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Palawan Provincial Ordinance No. 935,
Series of 2006, as amended, which was duly ratified through a plebiscite conducted by
the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) on 16 December 2006, Barangay
Panacan-2 was separated from Barangay Panacan and created as a regular barangay

unit in the Municipality of Narra, Province of Palawan.

Despite the ratification and the election of its barangay officials, Barangay
Panacan-2 has never received its regular share in the IRA since its formal
establishment in 2006. To date, its only source of funding comes from the annual
subsidy allotted by the Municipal Government of Narra. This, however, is inadequate
to effectively discharge powers and carry out government functions at the barangay

level in accordance with Section 17 of the Local Government Code. This also impedes

the delivery to its citizens of the necessary projects and services they deserve. Hence,
it is imperative that Barangay Panacan-2 be created as a regular barangay unit and be
entitled to its regular share in the IRA to guaranty the fulfillment of the government’s

bounden duty to the residents living thereat.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly

requested,
