Introduced by Hon. Amparo Maria J. Zamora 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This is a re-filed version of House Bill (H.B.) No. 354, substituted by 
H.B. No. 4982 introduced by Former Representative Maria Laarni Cayetano during 
the 18th Congress. The bill was approved on third and final reading on November 4 
2019, and has been transmitted and received by Senate on November 5, 2019.  
This bill seeks to invoke the 1987 Constitution and RA 7160 by allowing 
Barangay South Daang Hari to be entitled to a just share from the national taxes.  
Barangay South Daang Hari, located within the City of Taguig, Metro Manila, 
is one such barangay excluded from a share in the IRA. It has a land area of One 
Hundred Seventy Eight Thousand Seven Hundred square meters (178,700 sq.m.) more 
or less, and a population of Twenty Two Thousand  Four Hundred Forty Eight 
(22,448).  It is bounded on the North  by  the  property  line  of  Perpetual Village 
Phase II; on the East by Manila Railroad Company (Railroad Tract); and on the South 
by Lot- 4547 Psu-13088 (Parañaque Cadastre), Lot-8042 Case 16 Taguig Cadastral 
Mapping and the Bagumbayan River. 
Having thus complied with the requisites prescribed under Section 386 of the 
Local Government Code and the plebiscite requirement contained in Section 10, 
Article X of the Constitution, it was separated from the original Barangay Bagong 
Tanyag and created as a separate barangay by the City Government of Taguig, acting 
through the Sangguniang Panlungsod, under City Ordinance No. 26-2008. Its 
corporate existence began when its first set of regular officials was elected, pursuant 
to Section 14 of the Local Government Code, on October 25, 2010.

In view of these considerations, and in the face of resonating and unified public 
clamor for a clear and immediate legislative remedy to the matter at hand, the 
immediate approval of this bill is highly and earnestly sought.
