Introduced by Honorable Luis A. Ferrer IV

EXPLANATORY NOTE

One dilemma of governance over a large barangay is the concomitant difficulty and
heightened inefficiency of its local government unit to address its concerns and deliver its
basic services to the constituents. The ratio of manpower required for a larger local
government unit to efficiently execute its functions increases because more manpower is
required for better and efficient governance.

We take into consideration issues on peace and order in a barangay which requires a
certain number of barangay tanods to patrol and respond to calls for immediate assistance or
help in times of emergency and life-threatening situations. It would be impractically
impossible for a certain number of barangay tanods to accommodate citizen calls for
assistance in so many sites at one time, or sometimes incidents happening quite
simultaneously often at far-flung places.

In times of natural disasters, our manpower in the local government unit must be
reasonably adequate in proportion to the population or geographical territory. Thus, the
challenge of thwarting preventable scenarios in the delivery of basic government services
may be avoided by dividing large barangays into smaller yet manageable units. Other
influential factors to consider are economic opportunities in a growing barangay, migration or
the influx of informal settlers in a barangay and other considerations.

The adequacy of maintaining better public service vis-d-vis the manageable size of the
territory of the barangay should be proportion to the number of public servants who
efficiently carry out their assigned tasks efficiently and immediately.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sou;

LUIS
