Quezon City 
EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS 
Third Regular Session 
House Bill No. ____ 
Introduced by the Honorable Precious Hipolito Castelo 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
In the latest census made by the Philippine Statistics Authority in 2020, the Second 
Congressional District of Quezon City recorded a population of 738,328 people. This 
represents almost a quarter of the total population of Quezon City, which is recorded to be 
2,960,048 people. With these growing figures, Quezon City remains the most populous city in 
the country. 
It is worthy to note that 4 out of 5 barangays in District 2, Quezon City, namely, Commonwealth, 
Holy Spirit, Batasan Hills, and Payatas, are among the top 10 most populous barangays in the 
National Capital Region (NCR). 
In this regard, this bill seeks to establish a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) District Office 
in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City. 
The undersigned author deems that it will be most beneficial to residents of Quezon City and 
neighboring areas to have an NBI District Office in Commonwealth, a major thoroughfare in 
the NCR. With the bustling environment in Commonwealth, it will be a strategic and accessible 
location for people to acquire their clearances and to avail other services that the NBI offers. 
The immediate passage of this bill is most earnestly sought.
