House Bill No. 396

Introduced by: REP. MARK CHOLO I. VIOLAGO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Republic Act No. 7160, otherwise known as “The Local Government Code of 1991”,
provides that a barangay is the basic political unit that serves as the primary planning and
implementing unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the
community, and as a forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed,
crystallized and considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled.

Tigpalas is a barangay in the Municipality of San Miguel under the Third Congressional
District, in the province of Bulacan. Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was 4,
397. This represented 2.56% of the total population of San Miguel. The population of
Tigpalas grew from 2,920 in 1995 to 4,397 in 2020, an increase of 1,477 people over the course
of 25 years. The latest census figures in 2020 denote a positive annualized growth rate of
2.04%, or an increase of 403 people, from the previous population of 3,994 in 2015, The
continued growth in terms of population signifies continued growth in the needs for basic
services of the residents in the said barangay. Thus, a creation of a separate barangay is
necessary.

Barangay Tigpalas in the Municipality of San Miguel, Bulacan was created as a
separate and distinct barangay by virtue of a local government unit ordinance. Its creation is a
realization of the desire of the people of Barangay Tigpalas to be a self-reliant community and

a partner in attaining national goals. The creation of this new barangay will insure closer
supervision of the execution of developmental programs of the locality.

However, since its creation is by virtue of an ordinance. Barangay Tigpalas does not
enjoy the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) as prescribed by Section 285 of the Local
Government Code which states: “That the financial requirements of the barangay created by
Local Government Units after the effectivity of this Code shall be the responsibility of the LGU
concerned”.

All or nearly all of the revenue that a local government has to spend comes from their
IRA, though some local governments also have additional local sources of revenue such as
taxes and government fees. Typically for barangays, the IRA accounts for 90%
revenues. Thus the enactment of this bill into law will enable Barangay Tigpalas to
Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) provided for in the yearly General Appropriatjofs Act.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earngly sought.
