AN ACT CREATING A BARANGAY TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY 
TULALIAN IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF STO. TOMAS, PROVINCE OF
DAVAO DEL NORTE
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1987 Constitution, under Article II, Section 25 provides that, "The State shall 
ensure the autonomy of local governments." Relative thereto, the barangay was 
regarded as the basic political unit of governance under Section 384 of the Local 
Government Code, as amended. It is the primary planning and execution unit for 
government policies, init atives, programs, and activities in the community.
Given the important role that the basic political unit performs, this proposed 
measure seeks to crea:e a barangay to be known as Barangay Tulalian in the 
Municipality of Sto. Tomas, Province of Davao del Norte. 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, the immediate passage of this measure earnestly 
sought.
