Creation of Barangay New Era in Quezon City

The decree declares that accelerating the country’s socio-economic development is a basic government objective.
The decree recognizes that the barangay is the smallest political unit of government and functions as an effective instrument through faster administrative response and delivery of the eleven basic needs of the people.
The decree states that residents of the proposed barangay, in sufficient number and occupying an adequate area, led by natural community leaders, clamored for creation to ensure closer supervision of local developmental programs and attainment of community self-reliance.
The President acts by virtue of powers vested under the Constitution to “order and decree” the barangay creation (preamble).
