Section 9 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 adequate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, 
and an improved quality of life for all"

measure seeks to create a barangay to be known as Barangay Bukal in the Municipality 
of Nabunturan, Province of Davao De Oro. This will enable the barangay to better 
perform its mandate of delivering basic services and facilities to the people in the most 
efficient and responsive manner.
In addition, this measure seeks to promote the welfare of the barangay by 
ensuring that the barangay enjoy genuine and meaningful local autonomy and attain 
full development, namely: automated release of their share from national taxes; 
transfer of funds to the barangay for the maintenance of roads and bridges; mandatory 
share of the barangay in taxes, in order to meet the needs of their local populace as 
well as to alleviate the economic and social plight of the people currently residing in 
the area.
In view of the foregoing reasons, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought
