HOUSE BILL NO. a

Introduced by Honorable ALLEN JESSE C. MANGAOANG

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Bill seeks to separate the sitios of Ileb, New Colayo Village, Kinama and
Nambaran Daya from their mother barangay, Barangay Nambaran of the City of Tabuk,
Province of Kalinga, to be known as Barangay Nambaran East. It has reached the Senate
in the 16" Congress but has not been passed into law due to events prevailing during that
period

Barangay Nambaran is one of the largest of the forty two barangays of the
City of Tabuk in the Province of Kalinga. The four sitios of Ileb, Kinama, New Colayo
Village and Nambaran Daya are populated by the Sumadel,Butbut,Bangad and Tulgao,
all belonging to the Tinglayan-Kalinga tribes and natives from Colayo of the Pasil-
Kalinga tribe. These four sitios are adjacent to each other and far from the center of the
barangay and thus always the least priority in the developmental projects and in the
delivery of basic services. Since time immemorial, the residents of these four sitios
believe that they have been overlooked and neglected by both the local and the national
government.

‘This new regrouping would allow this tribal community to use their own
Internal Revenue Allotment to chart their own course in a way that is beneficial to the
whole community.

To date, the combined population of these four sitios is one thousand seven
hundred twenty-five (1,725). The provision under Book III, Paragraph 2, Section 386 of
the 1991 Local Government Code exempts them from the population requirement since
the area is inhabited by indigenous cultural groups. The separation of these four sitios
would not reduce the population of the mother barangay to less than the required number
since the combined population of the remaining sitios is still more than two thousand

With this bill, it is highly expected that new Barangay Nambaran East will not
be encumbered by lack of funds, thereby enabling them to chart their own course for
socio-economic development.

In view therefore, it is earnestly sought that this bill be approved
