EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 19 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that, "The 
State shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and 
independence of the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that 
provide adeguate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, 
and an improved quality of life for all."
The Local Government Code of the Philippines or Republic Act No. 7160 provides 
that, "the barangay serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of 
government policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the community, and 
as a forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized 
and considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled." To serve the 
aforementioned purposes in establishing a barangay, the population of the barangays 
must be maintained in such a manner that the constituents will be represented 
accordingly.
The indigenous people of Sitio Dengao are deprived from privileges being
enjoyed by most of their neighbors due to the geographically disadvantaged location
of their place that is hindered by towering mountains that would take hours for people
1


to travel and participate on activities imposed by the mother barangay. In order to let 
the people of Dengao feel that they are not discounted from society, this bill seeks to 
separate their sitio from its mother barangay, Barangay Ahin, and create an 
independent regular barangay to be known as Barangay Dengao. This is a chance of a 
lifetime given to its people to attain self-determination and self-governance towards 
progress and meaningful development.
In view of the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
MEE R. MARCOS
