HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by HON. FLORENCIO C. GARAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to declare Rarangay Cumawas in the City of Bistig,
Province of Surigao del Sur as a government entity created pursuant -0
Section 385 of the Local Government Code of 1991

Under Section 385 of the Local Government Code, a barangay may
be created, divided, merged or abolished, or its boundary substantial!
altered by law or by an ordinance of the sangguniang panlalawigan or
sangguniang panlungsod. subject to approval by majority of the vores
cast in a plebiscite to be conducted by the COMELEC in the local
government unit or units directly affected within such period of time 2s
may be determined by law or ordinance creating said barangay. In the
case of creation of barangays by the sangguniang panlalawigan, the
recommendation of the sangguniang bayan concerned shall be
necessary. —_

Barangay Cumawas was created by virtue of Provincial Ordinance
No. 103-94 of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, entitled “Creating
Comawas District of Barangay Mangagoy, Bislig, Surigao del Sur as =
New, Separate and Independent Barangay of the Municipality of Bislig.
This Province to be named Barangay Comawas.” Il was approved by =
majority of the votes cast in the plebiscite conducted on September &
1996, and was officially proclaimed as a separate, distinct anc
independent barangay on November 13, 2996, However, since Baranga.
Cumawas was created through a_ local ordinance, the financial
Tequirements of the barangay were governed by Section 285 of the Loca!
Government Code which provided that the financial requirements of ihe



barangay created by local government units after the effectivity of che
Local Government Code shal! be the responsibility of the local
government units concerned Thus, Barangay Curmawas had no share in
the internal revenue allotment; ils expenses was shouldered by che
rmunicipal (now city} government of Bislig since its creation.

This bill seeks to rectify the omission with the creation of Barangay
Cumawas in the City of Bislig, Province of Surigao del Sur as an
independent government entity created pursuant to Section 385 of che
Local Government Code of 1991, thereby entitling Barangay Cumawas to
TRA shares gencrally allocated to barangays under the law

In view of its vital importance, the approval of this bill is carnestly
sought,
