EXPLANATORY NOTE 
For many barangays, the National Tax Allotment (formerly the Internal Revenue 
Allotment) is the primary and largest source of operating revenue for financing basic 
services, development projects, and various devolved functions. These include among 
others, the delivery of basic health and social services, maintenance of local roads 
and utilities, support for public order and safety, and management of community 
facilities. Given the central role of the NTA in sustaining these legally mandated 
services and related budgetary obligations, it is urgent that Barangay North Daang 
Hari (Taguig City) receives its full and properly computed share in national taxes. 
Barangay North Daang Hari, with a land area of approximately 146,800 square meters 
and a population of 14,6141, was established pursuant to City Ordinance No. 27-2008 
enacted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig and approved on September 15, 
2008. Following the conduct of a plebiscite and the election of its first set of officials 
on October 25, 2010, the barangay began to operate as a distinct corporate entity, 
consistent with Section 14 of the Local Government Code. 
Despite its formal creation and compliance with the legal requisites for barangayhood 
under Section 386 of the Local Government Code, Barangay North Daang Hari has 
yet to receive its NTA. As former Barangay Chairman of Barangay Fort Bonifacio in 
Taguig City, I saw firsthand the difficulties of managing a fast-growing community 
without its proper share of the NTA. This persistent exclusion has deprived the 
barangay of critical resources necessary for the delivery of basic services and facilities 
enumerated in Section 17 (b) of the Local Government Code, particularly those 
devolved by the national government. 
Geographically, Barangay North Daang Hari is bounded by General Santos Avenue, 
Case 14 590-D, Taguig Cadastral Mapping IO (Barangay Bagumbayan), P.U.P. 
Compound, Sta. Maria Industrial Subdivision, Manila Railroad Company (Railroad 
Tract), Mañalac Avenue, and Parañaque Cadastre — all within or adjacent to 
territories historically associated with boundary disputes in Metro Manila. Nonetheless, 
its recognition as a separate and functioning barangay under the jurisdiction of the City 
of Taguig has long been established.

This proposal seeks to correct an administrative gap and ensure that Barangay North 
Daang Hari is granted full fiscal recognition as a local government unit so it can deliver 
the basic services and fund local projects for the benefit of its residents. 
No less than the 1987 Constitution mandates that “Local government units shall have 
a just share, as determined by law, in the national taxes which shall be automatically 
released to them.” 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
