FIFTEENTH CONGRESS

House Bill No.

Introduced by Hon. Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the creation of a new barangay to be known as Barangay
Poblacion 2 in the municipality of Villanueva, Misamis Oriemtal, to be composed of
Puroks Mutya and Soligao, Poblacion, forming parts of Barangay Poblacion.

Puroks Mutya and Soligao, Poblacion have a total land area of 657,692 square
meters and constitute a significant percentage of the total population of Barangay
Poblacion. Because of the looming population in Barangay Poblacion proper, the
constituents in the proposed barangay are often deprived of the equitable opportunity
to avail of basic services from the Sangguniang Barangay. Moreover, the proposed
barangay has viable socio and economic amenities that could enable socio-economic
growth as well as development within.

It is for these reasons that the people in the concemed puroks are clamoring
for the creation of this barangay to be formed out of the present jurisdiction of
Barangay Poblacion.

Considering the benefits of the creation of this barangay to the people
concerned, approval of this bill is eamestly requested.

V. DELIBERATION ON HOUSE BILL NO. 3839 -“ AN ACT CREATING THE PROVINCE OF QUEZON DEL SUR",
introduced by DEPUTY SPEAKER LORENZO R. TANADA, REPRESENTATIVES IRVIN M. ALCALA AND
DANILO E. SUAREZ

Deputy Speaker Lorenzo R. Tanada expressed his gratitude to the Chair for deliberating the bil. He likewise
expressed his gratitude to Reps. Danilo . Suarez, Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga, mayors and councillors who were
present in the meeting to give thoughts on the bill

He recalled that in the 13" Congress, he filed a similar bill together with Rep. Suarez and the late Rep, Ratfy P.
Nantes. The bill, he said, was enacted into law and unfortunately lost in the plebiscite. He enumerated the breakdown
of the votes to wit; 1" District, 24,092 voted for yes; 63,000 voted for no. In the 2™ District, 30,000 voted for yes;
62,000 voted for no more or less. In the 3° District 52,310 voted for yes; 48,530 voted for no. And in the 4” District
51,162 voted for yes and 38,839 voted for no. He said that Districts 1 and 2 which will comprise Quezon Del Norte
were not in favour of the division of Quezon, while Districts 3 and 4 were in favour. He further said that in the totality of
the votes, the total number of votes in favour was 157,620 which comprise 43 percent of the total number of votes
while those not in favor totalled 205,611 which comprised 57 percent of the total number of votes. He stated that the
votes were close and breaking it down on north and south, it is really the sentiment of the people from South Quezon
to have @ province created.

He enumerated the reasons why he filed the bill, to wit;

1. Bigger hope for better governance. Quezon is one of the biggest province in the Philippines. Unfortunately,
despite it's rich resources, the Province of Quezon remains in the list of the poorest provinces in the country.
Instead of being an advantage, the vast land area and the steady increase in population became a huge
deterrence in the delivery of government servic

2, The combined IRA of Quezon del Norte and Quezon del Sur will be higher than the IRA of the present
‘Quezon Province. Quezon del Surs's IRA for 2010 would be 755.43 million pesos while Quezon del Norte's
IRA would amount to 890.5 million pesos or a total of 1.64 billion pesos;

3. Quezon dei Sur will have it's own IRA, the people will have more access to government services;

4. The Province of Quezon del Sur may plan for it's own development and may independently ask for funding
‘support from the government and from private sectors.

5. The development of the entire Province of Quezon maybe attained faster.

Rep. Danilo E. Suarez recalled that the late President Manuel Quezon made it practically sure that he has a big
bastion of land mass that Quezon includes alll the way up to the boundaries of Cagayan in Isabela Province which
includes Aurora and farther south even Marinduque used to be part of the Province of Quezon. He said that he
thought that the thinking of President Quezon was to make sure that he has a big land mass which would influence
other provinces as well

He said that people asked him why he is for the division of the province now that his son is the incumbent
governor. He replied that it wil be a disservice to the province if they are not going to come up with an effort of dividing
the province. He stated that the division of the province will be for better governance that would be advantageous for
both provinces. He further stated that he co-authored the bill again hoping that the province can better understand the
situation and better explain to their constituents the pros and cons of the measure.

The Chair directed the Committee Secretary to read the quests list that the Committee invited for purposes of
discussing House Bill No. 3839. The Committee Secretary, Mr. Luth Myr P. Teoxon, read the names of the guests
present, to ;

Hon. Erwin Caralian, Mayor, Gumaca, Quezon

Hon. Isias Ubana ll, Mayor, Lopez, Quezon

Hon. Leonchito Gapasangra, Vice-Mayor, Mauban, Quezon

5, fits. Consolacion Q. Ageaoiti, { ion Chief, Local Treasury Operations Div _. Bureau of Local Finance,
Department of Finance : ;
86, Mr. Jesse Alcaraz, representative, League of Provinces of the Philippines

Mr, Teoxon stated that the Secretariat invited to the meeting the Governor, Vice-Governor and all Mayors and
Vice-Mayors of the Province of Quezon.

The Chair inquired on the sentiment of the Governor. Rep. Suarez stated that they share the same sentiments. He
said that they feel the division of the province must be done.

The Chair informed the Body that the new Province of Quezon del Sur has @ population of 850,291 based on the
2010 Census, an income of P 245,314,696.54 pesos and a land area 4,177.35 square kilometers. The old province or
the mother province will have a population of 1,136,739, income of P 359,958,795.00 pesos and a land area of
4,683.56 square kilometers. The Chair then asked the representatives of the Bureau of Local Government Finance
‘and the National Statistics Offic if the figures are correct. Ms. Consolacion Q. Agcaoili, Division Chief, Local Treasury
Operations Division, Bureau of Local Government Finance, Deaprtment of Finance and Mr. Raul Ludovice, Statistician
IV, Census Planning Division, National Statistics Office (NSO) attested to the figures of the Chair.

Mr. Dominador Villena, former Mayor, Padre Burgos, Quezon, supported the bill. He said that it is better to micro
manage the Province of Quezon. He further said that it would be good if the province will have two governors.

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M, Enverga opposed the bill and raised the following points, to wit;

1, He and his father, a former governor, rejected the proposition because they believe that the resources of the
province would not be enough in case the province would be divided;

2. Dividing the province would not be a right decision because financially speaking it does not make sense;

3. The research of Local Government Development Foundation of the Department of Interior and Local
Government in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Foundation found out that dividing provinces
will lead to the creation of weaker provincial governments;

4, This is not purely an issue of dividing the province but also an issue of management.

The Chair inquired how much is the IRA of the Province of Quezon. Rep. Suarez replied that the province has an
IRA of 1.5 billion pesos. Deputy Speaker Tanada pointed out that based on 2010 figures the Province of Quezon del
‘Sur will receive an IRA of 755,435,887.16 pesos while the Province of Quezon del Norte will receive an IRA of

890,506,522,40 pesos,

Hon. Isaias Ubana, Mayor, Lopez, Quezon, expressed his gratitude to the Body and to Deputy Speaker Tanada
for inviting him to the meeting, He stated that in the last plebiscite, he took the negative position, However, he said
that after seeing the light he now subscribed to the position of the Deputy Speaker. He registered his reservation to
the selection of the Municipality of Gumaca as the capital of the new Province of Quezon del Sur.

Rep. Suarez, recalled that in 1735 the Municipality of Unisan was the capital of the province, He suggested to just
re-enact history and make the Municipality of Unisan as the capital of the new province.

Hon, Erwin P. Caralian, Mayor, Gumaca, Quezon, suggested that the Municipality of Gumaca should be made the
province capital because his town is the crossroad between the Bondoc Peninsula and the Bicol Region.

Deputy Speaker Tanada explained that a decision has to be made to make the Kapitolyo of Quezon del Sur closer
to the 1" and 2™ Legislative Districts. On the argument of spending to build a new capitol, he said that it is a
necessary fact that will not remain forever. He said that itis only a one time expense and that it can even be
programmed so that the expense in such a way would not be a shock to anyone. He stressed that the challenge now
is how to move beyond being an agricultural province.

Rep. Suarez moved that in the next meeting the Committee invite the mayors from the 1* and 2™ Legislative
Districts and the Members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Quezon. The Chair then directed the Secretariat to
invite the mayors of the 1™ and 2° Legislative Districts of Quezon, Governor, Vice-Governor and the Members of the
