19th CONGRESS 
First Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. ______ 
Introduced by Honorable ALLEN JESSE C. MANGAOANG 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This Bill seeks to separate the Sitios of Burubor, Namitpitan, Magasuso, Small Bulo 
and Saudi from their mother barangay, Barangay Bulo of the City of Tabuk, Province of Kalinga, 
to be known as Barangay Bulo West. 
Barangay Bulo is one of the largest of the forty-three barangays of the City of Tabuk 
in the Province of Kalinga. The five sitios of Burubor, Namitpitan, Magasuso, Small Bulo and 
Saudi are populated by indigenous peoples. Bonded by their shared culture and tradition and their 
common goal of faster economic growth and development, this indigenous group wish to be 
separated and become one barangay. 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. 
Should the combined population of the sitios of the proposed barangay Bulo West or the 
remaining sitios from the mother barangay is less than the population requirement, the provision 
under Book III, Paragraph 2, Section 386 of the 1991 Local Government Code exempts them from 
the population requirement since both the proposed barangay and the mother barangay are 
inhabited by indigenous cultural groups from different tribes in Kalinga. 
With this bill, it is highly expected that new Barangay Bulo West 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.
