angay to be known as Barangay

Liwon in the Municipality of Asipulo, Province of Ifugao’

med at converting the Special

Economic Zone (SEZ) of Liwor

0 a Barangay.

J Nungawa, South by

Barangay Namal and the Munici

ty of Tinoc, East by Barangay Antipolo and on the West

‘The SI

Z, of Liwon is currently suffering as a government unit due to its geographical

isolation and peculiar dialect from its Mother Barangay of Amduntog, It has resulted in the
dependence of Liwon to the Barangay which in turn stifles its progress. To ensure the
independence of the SEZ from its Mother Barangay and for it to be able to economically

fend for itself, the creation of a new barangay is necessary.

Given this reason it is most respectfully urged that this bill be approved with utmost urgency

and significance.
