The Barangay U.P. Campus was created on June 25, 1975 by Executive Order No. 24 of the then Quezon City
Mayor Hon. Norberto S. Amoranto. Since its creation, the barangay operated as a duly recognized basic political
unit in Area 23, Fourth District of Quezon City. The barangay is divided into two sectors, the North and South
sectors, each subdivided into 16 political jurisdictions known as "Pook". With U.P. Sunken Garden as the point of
reference, the North sector includes the pooks belonging to the northern portion of the barangay while the South
sector includes the southern part.
The said executive order was issued pursuant to Presidential Decree 557 dated 21 September 1974
decreed by the President of the Republic of the Philippines converting all existing barrios into barangays and
abolishing the system of zone organization of barangays in Quezon City.With the implementation of Republic
Act 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, barangays were given more powers, duties,
and responsibilities as the basic political unit of the land due to devolution of powers from national agencies to
local government units or LGU’s consisting of cities, municipalities and barangays.With strong political will, active
participation of non-government organizations, wide involvement of the residents and the leadership of the
Punong Barangay, the Barangay U.P. Campus has improved dramatically in relatively all its components –
legislature, justice system and executive arm – compared to the past administrations.
The SBUs had a total population of 21,578 individuals in U.P. Campus, the biggest barangay in UP Diliman.
POLITICAL BOUNDARIES:
Southwest: U.P. Compound and boundary line of Barangay Krus na Ligas, U.P. Village and San Vicente

The barangay is divided into two sectors, the North and South sectors. It has a total land of 493 hectares and is
subdivided into 16 political jurisdictions known as "Pook". With U.P. Sunken Garden as the point of reference, the
North sector includes the pooks belonging to the northern portion of the barangay while the South sector includes
the southern part, as follows:

The barangay has power and authority over its domain. The improvement of the barangay rests on the barangay
officials. The barangay chairman, the barangay council and the local businessmen forge the prosperity of the
barangay. Not the president of the Philippines, senate, nor congress, not the governor of the province, not the mayor
nor council of the municipality or city. Poor barangays stay poor because of weak and/or ignorant(uninformed)
barangay leaders.
When roads need to be built or any infrastructure within the barangay is needed, all the barangay officials have to do
is make a resolution and demand for it from the city or municipality council. The resolution will force the
city/municipal council or responsible government office to hear the legitimate demands. "The squeaky wheel gets the
grease."
Practically anything that has to do with the barangay, the barangay officials have a say on it and most likely the
authority over it. The majority of the barangay officials are not aware of their duties and power. They depend on the
city council or mayor. The elected barangay officials are afraid of the mayor and city/municipality's "Sangguniang
Panlungsod". They are in fear of being ousted or removed from office. The truth is, "Sangguniang Panlungsod" does
not have the power to remove any elected barangay officials from office. Only the Court Of Law can do this (judicial
branch of the government). Information is power. Be informed.
The control of traffic is not up to the city council or chief of police. It is controlled by the barangay. If the barangay
needs traffic enforcers, the barangay can make a resolution to demand it from the city or municipality council. When
the electric coop or the water district do not maintain their lines, the barangay can directly demand for the
maintenance from the utility companies. No need to wait for city council.
The citizens also has the power to make demands to the barangay officials. In case the officials get blinded. Simply file
an official complaint with the barangay secretary naming the Punong barangay as the respondent representing the
barangay.

The University Health Service is a 50-bed primary hospital fully capable of handling simple, uncomplicated
and stable medical conditions. It engages in preventive-promotive activities such as physical - medical
examinations, immunizations; consultants on such fields as internal medicine, general surgery, neurology,
OB-gynecology, psychiatry, allergology- immunology and dermatology are available on specific days.
The barangay generates 0.319 kg/capita-day, a figure slightly higher than the 2013 rate of 0.256 kg/capita-day
and 2012 rate of 0.180 kg/capita-day. The area with the highest waste generation is Pook Malinis, Pook Libis, and
Sikatuna BLISS Phase 1 & 2, producing 312 grams of waste per person per day. The area with the least waste
generation rate is Pook Amorsolo and Village A & B, producing 191 grams of waste per person per day.
From Figure 2, it can be seen that the amount of food waste collected from the RIPADA and Amorsolo/Village A and
B cells have lessened considerably from 2012. However, the opposite can be observed for the Pook
Malinis/Libis/Sikatuna Bliss and Daang Tubo/Arboretum cells. This could be attributed to the fact that the
biodegradable waste collection of the barangay and the Task Force does not include these areas into their collection
route hence the residents tend to dispose their biodegradable waste during the non-biodegradable collection.
With respect to the 2012 data, there is an 80.90% decrease in the Tuesday and Thursday collection and a 64.75%
decrease in the Saturday collection with regards to film plastic. This is good evidence that the implementation of the
Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance is effective.
As for the household disposal practices of hazardous waste, the most common disposal practice across all SE classes
for used batteries and battery-operated gadgets is disposal with other solid waste, while the least common is by
bringing them to e-waste collection bins. For large appliances, the most common practice is by selling to junk shops,
while the least common is through coordination with the barangay for proper disposal. Lastly, for chemical containers,
the most common practice is storage (as indicated by the respondents), while the least common is disposal to canals,
creeks, or rivers.
Two main QC ordinances are currently in effect in relation to plastic bags, namely, SP-2103 S-2011 and SP 2140 S-
2012. SP 2103 is an ordinance that requires establishments to put up signs that encourage the consumers to bring
their own reusable plastic bags. SP 2140, or more commonly referred to as the Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance, was
passed a year later to impose a total ban on conventional plastics used in stores and groceries.
