EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to create a new barangay, which shall be carved
out from Barangay Poblacion I, Municipality of Santiago, Province of
Agusan del Norte, to be known as Barangay Pangaylan-IP.

Barangay Pangaylan-IP was created via Provincial Ordinance
No. 266-2010 last 2010. A plebiscite, which ratified its creation, was
conducted last March 5, 2011 by the Commission on Elections in
compliance with Section 10 of Republic Act No. 7160, or the Local
Government Code of 1991

The creation of this barangay is aligned with Section 386 (a) of
the LGC as it is intended to enhance the delivery of basic services in
the Manobo/Mamanwa indigenous cultural communities residing in
the area as certified by the National Commission on Indigenous
Peoples.

In view of the foregoing, I hereby request for the swift approval

of this bill.
extol Op M. AMANTE
