TABUK CITY, Kalinga – A new village called Lacnog West has officially been carved out of Barangay Lacnog after residents voted for its creation in a Feb. 22 plebiscite.
Lawyer Reyman Solbita, Tabuk City election officer, said Lacnog West joined 42 barangays when a majority of voters ratified Republic Act No. 11328 separating the sub villages of Guina-ang, Madopdop, Mallango, Lanlana, and San Pablo from Barangay Lacnog to form the new village.
The law was sponsored by Kalinga Rep. Allen Jesse Mangaoang and was signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte on April 17, 2019.
The Tabuk board of canvassers declared that 2,381 Lacnog residents voted in favor of the separation, against 51 nay votes.
The law allows the governor to appoint the first set of officials of the new village who would hold office until successors are elected.
