EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 9 of Article II of the 1987 Philippine Constitution provides that "The State 
shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and 
Independence of the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that 
provide adequate social services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, 
and an Improved quality of life for all."
The Municipality of Suyo is a 4th class municipality in the Province of Ilocos Sur. 
According to the Census of Population (POPCEN 2020), Suyo is politically subdivided 
into eight (8) barangays only while it has a population of 10,766 people.
Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of the Philippines provides that 
the barangay serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of government 
policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the community, and as a forum 
wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystallized and 
considered, and where disputes may be amicably settled. Hence, to efficiently 
implement the role of the barangay, the number of constituents per barangay must 
be proportioned accordingly.
This bill therefor seeks the creation of a new barangay to be known as Barangay 
Butac in the Municipality of Suyo, Ilocos Sur by separating Sitios Kainggian, Butac, 
Coscosnong, Longboy, Bangcag, and Botigue from the mother barangay, Barangay 
Man-atong, Suyo, Ilocos Sur. Further, this bill aims to make government programs.


services, and facilities closer to the constituents by creating a new barangay. This is 
also deemed relevant to meet the demand for socio-economic development and more 
efficient access to government resources especially during this time of pandemic. 
Hence,
In view of the foregoing, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
