OFFICIALLY CREATING BARANGAY ASCOMO, MUNICIPALITY OF 
GUAGUA, PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA, INTO A BARANGAY FOR OTHER
PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Municipality of Guagua is one of the twenty one (21) towns of the Province of 
Pampanga with thirty one (31) jurisdictional barangay subdivided into four sectoral areas. 
Guagua is a first class municipality with a population of 111,199 people according to the 
2010 census.
In September 1993, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Ordinance No. 26 created Barangay 
Ascomo during the term of then Governor Bren Z. Guiao. Provided for that the said 
barangay was created through a provincial ordinance and not by legislation therefore they 
do not receive the annual Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) from the Department of 
Budget and Management and are only entitled to financial aid from the municipal and 
provincial governments.
For almost twenty three (23) years, Barangay Ascomo has thoroughly served the needs of 
its constituents. It is high time to officially recognize Barangay Ascomo, by virtue of law, 
to strengthen and improve the provision of basic services due to its people.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
