SIXTEENTH CONGRESS
First Regular Session

House Bill No._ 4323

Introduced by: REP. JOSELITO “JONJON” R. MENDOZA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate the Sitio of Friendship Village Resources from
its mother barangay, Tigbe, of the Municipality of Norzagaray, Province of
Bulacan, to create a new barangay to be known as Barangay Friendship Village
Resources.

Friendship Village Resources is already a regular barangay, having been
locally created under Provincial Ordinance No. 003 and which was ratified under
Provincial Resolution No. 179-T’02 on April 18, 2002.

Given the fact that barangay Friendship Village Resources was locally
created, it could not receive or be allocated a portion or share of the usual
Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) from the national government. Without its share
from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), said barangay would have no means
to finance the delivery of basic services to its residents and members, and much
less provide funds for infrastructures much needed in the community. With its
own share and opportunity to use its own IRA, barangay Friendship Village
Resources can now use its funds in a way that is beneficial to the whole
community.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Third District, Province of Bulacan
