started clamoring for the creation of a separate barangay to be formed out of Brgy.

1997 the first set of barangay officials were elected and subsequently assumed office.
Since then, elections of barangay officials are being held regularly.

Barangay Apad has a viable socio and economic amenities that could allow
socio-economic growth as well as development within.

In view of the foregoing considerations, approval of this bill is highly and
earnestly recommended.
