HOUSE BILL NO. __ 748

Introduced by HON. FLORENCIO C. GARAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The barangay is the primary planning and implementing unit of government
policies, plans, programs, projects and activities in the community, and acts as a forum
wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and considered,
and where disputes may be amicably settled. (Sec. 384, Chapter |, Book Ill, Local
Government Code of 1991).

The Barangay of Mangagoy, a 615.18 hectare land within the City of Bislig,
Province of Surigao del Sur, has a total population of 50,109 as of the 1995 NSO Census.
This enormous population has rendered it difficult for the barangay officials of Bray.
Mangagoy to fully implement their mandates and directives under the Local Government
Code. For a more efficient, effective and economical governance, and to enhance the
delivery of basic services, a division of Barangay Mangagoy is in order.

Considering the requisites of population and territorial jurisdiction, Barangay
Mangagoy may be divided into eight (8) barangays, composed of their respective purok
and sitios, as follows:

1.Barangay 1 composed of Brgy. Mangagoy proper, St. Paul, Union Site and
Central;

2.Barangay 2 composed of Bongaitan and Market Site;

3.Barangay 3 composed of Caramcam


4.Barangay 4 composed of Riverside, Bogac;
5.Barangay 5 composed of John Bosco
6.Barangay 6 composed of Panaghiusa;
7.Barangay 7 composed of Castillo Village; and

8. Barangay 8 composed of Gamaon, Manggawong.

In view of its vital importance, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
