House Bill No._ 4908

Introduced by Hon, Nelson P. Collantes

EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This bill seeks to separate the sitio of Tabla from its mother barangay, Barangay VIII of
the Municipality of Talisay, Province of Batangas, in order to create a new barangay to be known
as Barangay Tabla,

As a basic political unit, the barangay serves as “the primary planning and implementing
unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects and activities in the community and as the
forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and given due
course and when contending claims may be amicably settled” (Section 384, Republic Act No.
7160). Hence, the creation of a new barangay is necessary in order to meet the priority needs of
its communities, as well as to augment the delivery of local public service due to them,

The sitio of Tabla, situated within the larger sitio of Pulo in the municipality of Talisay,
Province of Batangas,seeks to separatefrom its mother barangay, Barangay VIII. The sitio of
Tabla has a total land area of 1,090 hectares and a growing number of population. ‘The
increasing population in the sitio of Tabla are among the compelling reasons of the populace in
their clamor for the creation of a regular and independent barangay. In addition, the community
of the sitio of Tabla do not participate in thelocal elections and thus, denied the right to elect
their own barangay officials.

The creation of Barangay Tabla will ensure its proper representation in local
governance.Furthermore, it will be able to carry out the purposes of the barangay government in
accordance with the needs of public service. As such, the general welfare of the residents of the
sitio of Tabla will considerably improve if they have their own government officials who will
effectively attend to their common needs and concems.

Considering the benefits of the creation of this barangay to the people concerned,

approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
