HOUSE BILL NO. 1165

Introduced by: HON. LORNA C. SILVERIO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to establish the barangay of Tigpalas in the Municipality of
San Miguel, Province of Bulacan.

Barangay TIGPALAS is located in the Municipality of San Miguel under
the Third Congressional District of the Province of Bulacan. According to the
2015 National Census it has a population of 3,994 inhabitants comprising 2.60%
of the total population of San Miguel. It is bounded by the following Barangays:
Camias, Buliran, Balite, Partida and Sapang all in the same town.

Unlike other barangays in the country which were created legally under the
Local government code and are thus entitled to their rightful share of the Internal
Revenue Code, Barangay Tigpalas was a product of an ordinance that will not
qualify it to benefit from the gains provided by the Internal Revenue Code.
Development could have been fast if the barangay receives its just share.
Unfortunately, its status makes it unqualified for the revenue share.

This bill thus secks to formally establish the barangay. With a growing
population and increasing development needs, it is high time it be recognized

In view of the foregoing premises, approval of this measure is earnestly

sought.
