HOUSE BILL NO. 5752 Date Filed: September 05, 2006
Introduced by HON. MUJIV S. HATAMAN of Anak Mindanao (AMIN) Party-List
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Local Government Code provides that a municipality may be created by a law enacted by Congress. The creation of which shall be based on verifiable indicators of viability and projected capacity to provide services, in terms of income, population and land area.
Comes now the case of seventeen (17) barangays in the Municipality of Midsayap, that seek the creation of the Municipality of Sultan Tambilawan Bayao in the Province of North Cotabato, as tribute to the legacy of the Sultan of Rajah Buayan sa Kudarangan covering the so-called empire province of Cotabato where he reigned as a SULTAN.
The proposed Municipality is composed of seventeen (17) Muslim Barangays from the Municipality of Midsayap, namely; DAMATULAN, KADINGILAN, KADIGASAN, KAPINPILAN, KUDARANGAN, CENTRAL LABAS, UPPER LABAS, LOMOPOG, MACASENDEG, MALINGAO, MUDSENG, NABALAWAG, OLANDANG, RANGABAN, SAMBULAWAN, TUGAL AND TUMBRAS. The officials of the said barangays have manifested and signified their willingness and desire to be created as one Municipality through Resolutions of their Sangguniang Barangay. The seventeen (17) barangays of 5,586 household, and a population of 28,164 has an annual income of P10,611,214.53 and P11,180,639.23 in 2004 and 2005.
The integrated income, population, and land area of the said barangays constituting the Municipality of Sultan Tambilawan Bayao conform to the minimum requirements set under the Local Government Code for the creation of a Municipality. Further, the creation of said Municipality does not reduce the income, population, and land area of the Municipality of Midsayap to less than the prescribed minimum requirements provided by law.
The separation of the subject barangays from the Municipality of Midsayap and their formation into a distinct and separate Municipality has been approved by the Sangguninang Bayan of the Municipality of Midsayap and Sangguniang Panlalawigan of North Cotabato in January and June 2006, respectively.
The creation of said Municipality will afford additional government machinery which could certainly facilitate the economic development of the seventeen (17) barangays and will uplift the lives of the people in North Cotabato. Its creation will allow the subject barangays to enjoy the blessings of self-governance, empowerment and better delivery of basic services to their people.
In view of the foregoing, the soonest approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
