This is in reference to the letter of the constituents of Sitio Tiris and Sitio
Gajo of Barangay Osiao, Bacon District Sorsogon City, imploring that they be
constituted as one barangay unit on the basis of the following:
1. Because of the distance of Sitio Tiris particularly Sitio Gajo to the
barangay proper of Osiao, it is quite trying on the part of the constituents
to travel by boat or motorcycle (habal-habal) just to obtain community tax
certificate, barangay clearance and other documents from the barangay
hall.
2. During rainy period, it is not safe to travel by boat and the passage going
to the barangay proper is slippery and tiring particularly on students, job
applicants and workers who are required to obtain documents from the
barangay as a requirement for enrollment and employment.
In the letter of the residents of Sitio Gajo and Sitio Tiris of Barangay Osiao the
requirements provided by the Local Government Code has not been complied with.
Moreover, the creation shall be based on verifiable indicators of viability and
projected capacity to provide services, to wit:
a. Income – It must be sufficient based on acceptable standards, to provide
for all essential government facilities and services and special functions
commensurate to the size of the population as expected by the LGU;
Sincerely,
ROBERTO T. LABITAG
