CONVERTING PIO MODEL COMMUNITY IN BARANGAY PIO, 
MUNICIPALITY OF PORAC, PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA, INTO A BARANGAY
TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY ADELINA, FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks the conversion of the Pio Model Community Into a new barangay 
to be named after Doha Adelina Avenclana Reyes, the donor of the resettlement site 
where the model community is situated.
Pio Model Community is a 50-hectare property donated in 1992 to serve as a 
resettlement site for evacuees from nearby barangays that were greatly devastated 
by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. Since then, it has developed into a community 
with 15.3 hectares for residential area, 26.3 hectares equipped with community 
facilities and 8.42 hectares of road network.
The proposed conversion of this model community into a new barangay, 
separate and distinct from Barangay Pio, is necessary to accelerate the delivery of 
essential services to Its constituents, whose social and economic wellbeing have not 
completely recovered from the damages brought about by said catatrophe.
In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is earnestly requeste
