Introduced by Hon. Amparo Maria J. Zamora 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
This is a re-filed version of House Bill (H.B.) No. 349, introduced by Former 
Representative Maria Laarni Cayetano during the 18th Congress. The bill remains 
pending with the House Committee on Local Government since July 23, 2019.  
This bill seeks to invoke the 1987 Constitution and RA 7160 by allowing 
Barangay Fort Bonifacio to be entitled to a just share from the national taxes. 
Barangay Fort Bonifacio, located within the City of Taguig, Metro Manila, is 
one such barangay excluded from a share in the IRA. It has a land area of One 
Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Six Hundred square meters (162,600 sq.m.), more or 
less, and a population of Eleven Thousand Nine Hundred and Twelve (11,912).  It is 
bounded on the North and North East by J.P. Rizal Ave. Ext., swo-13-000338 amd. 
(Maka.ti Cadastre) and Barangay West Rembo (Makati Cadastre); on the North West, 
by South Cembo, Maricaban Creek and Forbes Park (Makati Cadastre); on the East, 
by Barangay Pembo (Makati Cadastre) and the Mckinley Hills Perimeter Fence; on 
the South, by Mega World Corp., Mckinley Road and Lawton Avenue and on the 
West, by the Manila Railroad Company. Having thus complied with the requisites 
prescribed under Section 386 of the Local Government Code and the plebiscite 
requirement contained in Section 10, Article X of the Constitution, it was separated 
from the original Barangay Western Bicutan and created as a separate barangay 
created by the City Government of Taguig, acting through the Sangguniang 
Panlungsod, under City Ordinance No. 68-2008 approved on September 15, 2008. Its 
corporate existence began on October 25, 2010 when its first set of regular officials 
was elected, pursuant to Section 14 of the Local Government Code.

In view of these considerations, and in the face of resonating and unified public 
clamor for a clear and immediate legislative remedy to the matter at hand, the 
immediate approval of this bill is highly and earnestly sought.
