HOUSE BILL NO.
Introduced by: HON. KRISTINE SINGSON

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks for the creation of a new barangay to be known as Barangay
Butac in the municipality of Suyo, Ilocos Sur, to be composed of Sitios Kainggian,
Butac, Coscosnong, Longboy, Bangcag and Botigue, separating them from the mother
barangay, Barangay Man-atong, Suyo, llocos Sur.

The municipality of Suyo at present is composed of eight (8) barangays and
forty seven (47) sitios populated mostly by the indigenous tribes of "Bago" and
"Kankanaey”. Some barangays occupy vast land areas making the administration over
them extremely difficult and cumbersome and due to the fact that some of the sitios
are very distant, they are often denied delivery of basic goods and services that a
barangay could offer. The proposed creation of Barangay Butac will not only enhance
the delivery of basic goods and services to the concerned sitios, it will also lead to
better governance, equitable implementation of the Municipality's Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP), fast track the development of idle lands into residential,
commercial, industrial and agricultural areas, avoid congestion in the barangay
proper, and allow the concerned sitios to use their own Internal Revenue Allotment.
Under R.A.No. 8371 (Indigenous People's Right Act), both the new barangay and
mother barangay shall be exempted from the population requirement under Republic
Act No. 7160 as amended, or the Local Government Code (Sec. 386) since both
barangays are populated by members of indigenous cultural communities.

‘The creation of Barangay Butac will address the clamor of its people who have
been waiting for years, to finally enable them to chart their own course in developing
their community toward socio-economic development.

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