BACOOR, PROVINCE OF CAVITE, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE 
SECTION 10 (B) OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10160 OR THE “CHARTER OF 
THE CITY OF BACOOR”, AS AMENDED
 EXPLANATORY NOTE 
When the local government of the City of Bacoor formulated plans for the future 
development of the City, it was found out that of the city’s 73 barangays, 47 are not 
generating sufficient annual revenues to independently finance their daily operations 
and support the needs of their respective residents.  
To address this, thorough studies and consultations with local leaders and 
affected barangays were made which resulted in the passage of City Ordinance No. 
275-2023 that sought to merge various barangays of the city and rename the affected
barangays resulting from the said merging.
On July 31, 2023, a plebiscite was conducted which overwhelmingly ratified the 
said proposal.   
With the ratification of City Ordinance 275-2023, the following barangays have 
been merged and consequently renamed, to wit: 
MERGED BARANGAYS

To reflect the effect of the merging and renaming of affected barangays in the 
City of Bacoor’s charter, immediate passage of this measure is earnestly sought. 
This measure was approved on third and final reading by the House of 
Representatives and by the Senate of the Philippines during the Nineteenth Congress.
