EXPLANATORY NOTE

As early as on 7 October 2003, Ordinance No. SP ~ 1337, S-2003
“RENAMING BARANGAY TALIPAPA OF QUEZON CITY TO BARANGAY
SAKRAMENTO" has been approved by no less than then City Mayor Feliciano R.
Belmonte, Jr. now the present Speaker of the House of Representatives.

‘Again, during the 18" Quezon City Council, City Councilor Precious Hipolito
Castelo, District 2, Quezon City filed Proposed Resolution No. 2010-211. it Is
interesting to note that under Barangay Talipapa Council Resolution No. 06-04, S-
2003 has urged the City Counc! of Quezon City to enact ordinance renaming
Barangay Talipapa to Barangay Sacramento since it was meritorious and were to
redound to the benefit ofthe residents thereat,

Consistent with appropriate guidelines set forth by the National Historical
Commission on naming and renaming of streets, public schools, plazas, building,
bridges and other public structures and more so within the purview of the Local
Government Code as stipulated in Section 19 of the sald Code on naming and
fenaming of city barangays, Barangay Talipapa in this case, it is the humble
‘submission of this author that the bill has not violated any of existing laws.

Truth be told, there isa Banal ng Sakramento Church in Barangay Talpapg
and it goes without saying that the old and stil present Barangay Talipapa by way o}
the term “talipapa’ actually carries some negative connotations since it iterally
‘means a small market or a tiny market.

‘On the other hand, the name shift to Barangay {to is blessed with a

human development which may well be the very,
seeks to find.

Earnest approval of this bill is then most sincerely sought.

ON “WINNIE” CASTELO.
