SEVENTEENTH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL No._4496

Introduced by REP. RODOLFO C. FARINAS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The One-Barangay Municipality of Dumalneg in the First District of the
Province of Ilocos Norte is a cultural community, populated mostly by the
indigenous tribe of Itneg, with a total land area of 8,847.6698 hectares, which
is large enough to accommodate, and out of which may be created, two more
barangays.

The constituents of Dumaineg have been clamouring for the division of
the lone Barangay Dumaineg into three barangays.

In their effort to maximize opportunity for development and  self-
governance, the largely ethnic constituents of Barangay Dumalneg realize
that the division of Barangay Dumalneg into three (3) barangays is meritorious
and would be advantageous to the municipality for the following reasons:

(a) better governance;

(b) enhance the delivery of basic services;

(c) equitable implementation of the municipality's Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP);

fast-track the development of idle lands in the ancestral domain
residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural areas; and
relieve congestion in the town proper.

(d

(e

This Bill provides for the division of the lone barangay of Dumalneg into
three (3) distinct barangays as follows:

1) Barangay Kalaw to be composed of Puroks Cristalina and Saniata,
Sitios Pacac, Banbanag, Sta. Maria, Siraong, As-asaan, Nasduan,
Nappud, Nanguratao and Sisilungen;

2) Barangay Cabaritan to be composed of Puroks Timpuyog,
Poblacion, Sitios Alilem, Cabaritan, Capcapitan, Tapauan,
Immalsung and Mangadamay;



3) Barangay Quibel to be composed of Puroks Namnama, Danggayan
and Regta, Sitios Namoc, Arapang, Nalames, Baracbac, Bobog
and Baset.

Pursuant therefore to the intent and provisions of Republic Act No.
7160, otherwise known as The Local Government Code of 1991, as laid down
in letter (c ) of Art. 14 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations ( IRR ), the
approval of this proposed legislation is earnestly sought.
