EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks the subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of Valencia
into four separate and distinct barangays.

Barangay Poblacion has a population of thirty-five thousand seven hundred
ninety-three (35,793) as per 2015 census. Considering the population density in the
said barangay, the barangay officials therein is faced with great difficulty to fully
implement their mandates and directives. For this reason, this representation
believes that the subdivision thereof would result to a more efficient, effective and
economical governance. Further, the affected residents will be afforded an even
delivery of basic services

Considering the requisites of population and territorial jurisdiction, the
subdivision of Barangay Poblacion in the City of Valencia into four separate and
distinct barangay is in order, pursuant to Republic Act No. 7160, as amended,
otherwise known as the “The Local Government Code of 1991” and its Implementing
Rules and Regulations.

This bill was filed by the previous Representative of the Fourth District of
Bukidnon during the 17" and 18 Congresses. This bill is therefore filed for the
consideration of this Congress.
