HOUSE BILL NO.

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE TOBIAS “TOBY” M. TIANGCO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the division of Barangay Tanza in Navotas City into two (2) barangays to
be known as Barangay Tanza 1 and Barangay Tanza 2.

Barangay Tanza only has 4,764,613.39 square meters of land area but its population of
26,208 ranks THIRD in the entire Barangays of Navotas City. Peace and order is becoming

more and more difficult to maintain within the continuing growing population of Barangay
‘Tanza. Further, densely populated area will result to uneven delivery of basic services to

affected residents.

Thus, the people of Barangay Tanza are actively calling for the division of their Barangay
into two considering the benefits it may bring to them.

In view thereof, the passage of this measure is earnestly urged.
