EXPLANATORY NOTE 
For many barangays, the National Tax Allotment (formerly the Internal Revenue 
Allotment) is the primary and largest source of operating revenue for financing basic 
services, development projects, and various devolved functions. These include among 
others, the delivery of basic health and social services, maintenance of local roads 
and utilities, support for public order and safety, and management of community 
facilities. Given the central role of the NTA in sustaining these legally mandated 
services and related budgetary obligations, it is urgent that Barangay Katuparan 
(Taguig City) receives its full and properly computed share in national taxes. 
Barangay Katuparan, with a land area of approximately 307,700 square meters and a 
population of 29,3211, was established pursuant to City Ordinance No. 59-2008 
enacted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig and approved on September 15, 
2008. Following the conduct of a plebiscite and the election of its first set of officials 
on October 25, 2010, the barangay began to operate as a distinct corporate entity, 
consistent with Section 14 of the Local Government Code. 
Despite its formal creation and compliance with the legal requisites for barangayhood 
under Section 386 of the Local Government Code, Barangay Katuparan has yet to 
receive its NTA. As former Barangay Chairman of Barangay Fort Bonifacio in Taguig 
City, I saw firsthand the difficulties of managing a fast-growing community without its 
proper share of the NTA. This persistent exclusion has deprived the barangay of 
critical resources necessary for the delivery of basic services and facilities enumerated 
in Section 17 (b) of the Local Government Code, particularly those devolved by the 
national government. 
Geographically, Barangay Katuparan is bounded by Pamayanang Diego Silang, 
Pinagsama Village Phase 2, Barangay Signal Village (Proclamation 11 No. 172) Psd-
13-02057, NAPOCOR High Tension Line, HHSG, and Barangay Signal Village
(Proclamation No. 172) — all within or adjacent to territories historically associated
with boundary disputes in Metro Manila. Nonetheless, its recognition as a separate

and functioning barangay under the jurisdiction of the City of Taguig has long been 
established. 
This proposal seeks to correct an administrative gap and ensure that Barangay 
Katuparan is granted full fiscal recognition as a local government unit so it can deliver 
the basic services and fund local projects for the benefit of its residents. 
No less than the 1987 Constitution mandates that “Local government units shall have 
a just share, as determined by law, in the national taxes which shall be automatically 
released to them.” 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
