THE PHILIP TWENTIETH CONGRESS OF THE ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES First Regular Session TIME: 2: 10pm BY: SENATE BILLS'& INDEX S.B. No. 1348 Introduced by SENATOR IMEE R. MARCOS SEPARATING THE SITIOS OF KIMBUAYA, LONGBOY, BULALA, KINAPIAN, INDADANGAN, KUMANIBE AND MACAAG FROM BARANGAY SUYO PROPER IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF SUYO, PROVINCE OF ILOCOS SUR AND CONSTITUTING IT INTO A DISTRICT AND INDEPENDENT BARANGAY TO BE KNOWN AS BARANGAY KINAPIAN EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 9, 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." Republic Act No. 7160, or the Local Government Code of 1991, as amended, 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. To serve the aforementioned purposes effectively, a barangay's population and geographical size must allow for efficient service delivery and adequate representation. The Municipality of Suyo is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. However, Barangay Suyo Proper is exceptionally large in both population and land area, making it difficult for the local government to provide timely and effective services to all its residents. According to the 2020 Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Municipality of Suyo has a population of 10,766 across its eight (8) barangays. The creation of a new barangay will help decentralize governance and bring government services closer to the people in the remote sitios. This bill will ensure that

residents of the newly formed Barangay Kinapian, composed of the Sitios of Kimbuaya, Longboy, Bulala, Kinapian, Indadangan, Kumanibe, and Macaag, can more easily access essential government resources and participate in local planning and development. In view thereof, approval of this bill is earnestly sought. Imee h. Mares IMEER. MARCOS T
