AN ACT
DIVIDING BARANGAY ADAMS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ADAMS, 
PROVINCE OF I LOCOS NORTE INTO THREE (3) DISTINCT AND 
INDEPENDENT BARANGAYS TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY ADAN, 
BARANGAY BUCAROT, AND BARANGAY MALASIN
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Municipality of Adams is a 5th class municipality in the province of Ilocos 
Norte. It belongs to the province's Indigenous Cultural Communities. With a total land 
size of 159.31 square kilometers, the Municipality of Adams has enough space for more 
than two barangays.
The welfare of the citizens of the Municipality of Adams shall be promoted by 
the partition of Barangay Adams into three separate and autonomous barangays. The 
creation of distinct barangays will enhance the provision of fundamental services and 
expedite public infrastructure projects throughout the municipality, particularly in the 
far-flung sitios.
In accordance with Section 285 of the Local Government Code of 1991, this act 
grants the new barangays their proper Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shares. To 
establish a new Barangay Adan, Barangay Bucarot, and Barangay Malasin, this law 
would split Barangay Adams into three separate and autonomous barangays.


Hence, this bill seeks to divide Barangay Adams, the lone barangay in the 
Municipality of Adams, into three distinct and independent barangays to be known as 
Barangay Adan, Barangay Bucarot, and Barangay Malasin. Further, this measure 
entitles the new barangays to their appropriate Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) 
shares pursuant to Section 285 of Republic Act No. 7160, as amended, otherwise known 
as the Local Government Code of 1991.
For the abovementioned reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
