TWENTIETH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL No, 2009

Yntroduced by Representative Ma. Rene Ann Lourdes G. Matibag

EXPLANATORY NOTE

San Isidro Labrador is the patron saint of Sitio Bayan-bayanan, part of
Brgy San Vicente, the second biggest barangay in the locality of San Pedro,
Laguna. Sitio Bayan-bayanan, is situated in the so called Upper Villages or in
the mountainous part of San Pedro and surrounded by Barangay Sampaguita,
United Better Living, Estrella, Langgam and San Antonio.

In July 11, 2015, the Brgy San Vicente residents voted in a plebiscite to
subdivide their barangay into 8 distinct barangays but Sitio Bayan-bayanan was
never considered to be separated from San Vicente.

Apparently, the population of Sitio Bayan-bayanan did not meet the
requirement for it to be a full blown barangay. Likewise, its earnings was not
sufficient to be able to support the needs of its own constituents way back in
2015.

Today, Sitio Bayan-bayanan is a more progressive area with a
continuously increasing population and more businesses setting up within the
area. There is an elementary school, a private high school, a small wet market,
several places of worship including the church of its patron saint, San Isidro
Labrador, and a some convenience stores. Needless to say, Sitio Bayan-bayanan
is now at par with some of the barangays within its vicinity and is ready to
become Barangay San Isidro.

In accordance with the Constitution, this bill seeks to establish Barangay
San Isidro in the City of San Pedro, Laguna and entitles the political unit a fair



share to the national internal revenue allotment, subject to the applicable
provisions of the Local Government Code, as amended.

In view of the foregoing, I pray that this bill be approved and ratified at
the soonest possible time.
