HOUSE BILL N 264

Introduced by Honorable Manuel S. Agyao

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to separate Bulanao Norte from its mother Barangay Bulanao in the
City of Tabuk, Province of Kalinga to be known as Barangay Bulanao Norte. This is a re-filed
which has reached the Senate in the 15 Congress. It was not enacted into law however
due to events prevailing during that period.

Bulanao Norte is already an existing regular barangay created locally under Provincial
Ordinance No. 2002-002 of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Kalinga. Its corporate existence
came about on December 21, 2002 after a unanimous approval of its electors in a plebiscite
conducted by the Commission of Elections.

‘The proposed barangay to be created under this bill shall composed of the following:
Purok Dato, Purok Dos, Purok Tres and Sitio Linglingay, all containing approximate area of
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY (350 HAS.) hectares.

In view of the fact that barangay Bulanao Norte was created locally, it could not be
shared of the regular Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) enjoyed by regular barangays. The
provincial government, however, shares a little amount as its aid to the new barangay. Clearly
the inadequate amount of financial aid will not suffice to finance the delivery of basic services,
much less provide the funds for infrastructure projects needed by its residents. The
conversion of Tabuk to a component city will definitely attract influx of population into this
barangay; hence a great need for more funding to address its growing problems.

With this bill, it is highly expected that new Barangay Bulanao Norte will no longer be
encumbered by lack of funds, thereby enabling them to chart their own course for socio-
economic development.

In view therefore, it is earnestly sought that same be approved so as not to
disenfranchise the stakeholders in their desire to grow as a separate barangay.
