WHEREAS, Section 271 of the Local Government Code, among others, provides that the proceeds of the basic real property tax, including interest thereon specifically in cities like the City of Manila shall be distributed seventy percent (70%) for the general fund of the city and thirty percent (30%) among component barangays, whereby the latter allocation for the barangays shall be further divided or allocated fifty percent (50%) to the Barangay/s where the property or properties is/are located and fifty percent (50%) equally to all component barangays;

WHEREAS, considering that Barangays 48, 49, 51, 245, 247 and 248 are equally hosting the business establishments referred to under Ordinance No. 8366 and talking into account the above provision of the Local Government Code of 1991, there is an imperative need for this amendatory ordinance: NOW, THEREFORE,

Be it ordained by the City Council of Manila, in session assembled, THAT:

SECTION 1. Re-allocation of the Area. - The areas referred to in Ordinance No. 8366 shall be re-allocated to include Barangays 48, 49 and 51 under Zone 4, District I and Barangays 245, 247 and 248, Zone 22, District II, all in the City of Manila.
