HOUSE BILL NO. GB

Introduced by Representative Jose Enrique S. Garcia III

AN ACT
CREATING A BARANGAY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF LIMAY,
PROVINCE OF BATAAN, TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY ST.
FRANCIS II

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Barangay St. Francis II was originally created via Ordinance No. 11 contained in
Resolution No. 353 adopted on December 16, 1996 by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan
of the Province of Bataan. Its creation was duly ratified in a plebiscite called for the
purpose in the political units directly affected.

Since its creation, Barangay St. Francis II has not received any share in the
Internal Revenue Allotment allocated to local government units pursuant to Section
285 of the Local Government Code. Its operation was funded purely by internally
generated revenues and from financial assistance received from the Municipality of
Limay, and from the Province of Bataan.

The creation of Barangay St. Francis II through this proposed measure will
officially recognize and fully endow it with the requisite powers, rights, and privileges
necessary and appropriate for a barangay duly created by law.

Support for this measures therefore earnestly sought from my colleagues.
