Introduced by REPRESENTATIVE AURELIO “DONG” D. GONZALES, JR.

AN ACT CREATING A BARANGAY TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY PULUNG BULU IN
THE CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Barangay Pulung Bulu is a distinct and independent barangay in the City of San
Femando, Province of Pampanga, created pursuant to Ordinance No. 2002-010, Series of 2002
dated September 25, 2002, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of San Fernando,
Province of Pampanga.

As a barangay created by a local government, Barangay Pulung Bulu has been deprived
of its rightful share of the Internal Revenue Allotment provided under the Local Government
Code even though as a basic political unit, itis instrumental in the creation of favorable business
environment in the locality which attracts investors, thereby generating revenues for the said
barangay and to the country.

With this bill, it is expected that the inequitable situation of Barangay Pulung Bulu will be
corrected and remedied, for the said barangay to receive its just share of Internal Revenue
Allotments, enabling it to deliver better public services, which would greatly benefit its
constituents.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought
