First Regular Session

HOUSE BILL NO, _ 1002

Introduced By; HON. TEDDY BRAWNER BAGUILAT, JR.

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

The proposed House Bill entitled “An Act Creating a Barangay to be known as Barangay

Mappit in the Municipality of Kiangan, Province of Ifugao” is aimed at converting the Special

Feonomic Zone (SEZ) of Mappit into a Barangay.

The Special Economic Zone of Mappit is a part of Barangay Duit of the
Municipality of Kiangan, It is bounded on the North by Barangay Baguinge, South by
Barangay Haliap of the Municipality of Asipulo, East by Barangay Bolog and on the
West is Barangay Tuplae of the Municipality of Kiangan,

The SEZ of Mappit is currently suffering as a government unit due to its geographical
isolation and peculiar dialect from its Mother Barangay of Duit. It has resulted in the dependence
of Mappit to the Barangay which in turn stifles its progress. To ensure the independence of the
SEZ from its Mother Barangay and for it to be able to economically fend for itself, the creation of

anew barangay is necessary

Given this reason it is most respectfully urged that this bill be approved with utmost

urgency and significance.

TEDDY BRAWNER BAGUILAT JR.
