SIXTEENTH CONGRESS:
First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO. 4087

Introduced by: HONORABLE NOEL L. VILLANUEVA.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The O'Donnel Resettlement Area in Barangay Aranguren, Municipality of Capas,
Province of Tarlac was separated from Barangay Aranguren and constituted as Barangay
Cristo Rey under Provincial Ordinance No, 004-2003

The people of the entire Barangay Aranguren ratified the creation of Barangay
Cristo Rey in a plebiscite as proclaimed by the Plebiscite Board of Canvassers on
December 13, 2003. It is quite unfortunate however, that since its creation, the newly.
created Barangay Cristo Rey has been deprived of its rightful share of the Internal
Revenue Allotment Shares for the reason that it was created by a local government unit
The proviso under Section 285 of Republic Act No. 7160 as amended, otherwise known
as the Local Government Code of 1991 specifically states that “Provided finally, That the
financial requirements of barangays created by local government units after the
effectivity of this Code shall be the responsibility of the local government unit
concerned.” Hence, a legislative fiat is necessary for the said barangay to get IRA share
from the national government

This bill therefore seeks to create a barangay, the same barangay which was
separated from Barangay Aranguren, Capas, Tarlac and constituted as Barangay Cristo
Rey, to be known now as Barangay Navy.

The rationale behind the change of name is to preserve the identity of the place in
the O'Donnel Resettlement Area then popularly called Navy because many personnel of
the United States Navy resided and some facilities were located

It is worthy to mention that a similar bill was approved by the House of
Representatives during the Fifteenth Congress and was transmitted to the Senate. It had
its initial hearing at the Senate Committee on Local Government but unfortunately, it
never reached the Senate plenary due to lack of material time

‘The foregoing reasons warrant the approval of this bill
