EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Bill seeks to create Barangay Anonang in the Municipality of Rizal, Province of Kalinga.
Anonang, a part of Barangay Liwan West, is an agricultural community occupied by the different sub-
tribes of Kalinga in the Municipality of Rizal, Province of Kalinga. These tribes are known to be clannish. They
tend to gravitate to each other. They group themselves into one community apart from their neighbors, the
lowlanders or non-indigenous people. Because of their unique cultural demography, they have their own visions
and priorities in the development of their community, which have been overlooked and not properly addressed
by both the local and national government.
For these reasons, the residents of Anonang have petitioned the undersigned to propose a legislative
measure to create their community to a new barangay. As a new barangay, they are entitled to their share of the
Internal Revenue Allotment from the National Government. These tribal groups would then have the
opportunity to use their own IRA to chart their own course in the way that is beneficial to the whole community.
Should the population requirement, as provided for by the Local Government Code of 1991, fall short,
the provisions of Book III, Section 396 of the Local Government Code of 1991, shall apply considering that the
area proposed is settled by the indigenous cultural communities.
In view therefor, it is earnestly sought that the same be approved so as not to disenfranchise the
stakeholders in their desire to grow as a separate Barangay.
