Three barangays of Dumaguete City with the most number of residents, remain the biggest recipients of shares from the Internal Revenue Allotment of the national government.

Barangays Bagacay, Taclobo, and Batinguel will receive IRA shares at P8.7 million; P8.6 million and P8.3 million, respectively for year 2020.

Meanwhile, smaller Poblacion barangays get an average of a little over a million share of the IRA.

IRAs are shares equivalent to 40 percent of the national taxes collected three years prior to the fiscal year as mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991.

The share of each local government unit (barangay, municipality, city and province) is determined by its population, land area and the so-called equal sharing formula.

The following are the IRA shares of the other barangays: Bajumpandan, P5.9 million; Balugo, P3.8 million; Bantayan, P5 million; Bunao, P3.3 million; Cadawinonan, P5.4 million; Calindagan, P6.9 million; Camanjac, P4.6 million; Candau-ay, P6.9 million; Cantil-e, P4.5 million; Daro, P6.2 million; Junob, P6.4 million; Looc, P4.8 million; Mangnao-Canal, P4.2 million; Motong, P2.9 million; Piapi, P5.8 million; Poblacion 1 (Tinago), P2.9 million; Poblacion 2, P2.2 million; Poblacion 3, P1.4 million; Poblacion 4, P 1.3 million; Poblacion 5, P1.3 million; Poblacion 6, P1.4 million; P1.5 million; Poblacion 8, P1.2 million; Pulantubig, P3.8 million; Tabuc-tubig, P2.5 million, and Talay, P4.7 million.

IRA shares of the barangays will be budgeted to pay for the salaries and benefits of officials and employees, fund infrastructure projects, for disaster management, and for gender and development initiatives.

To augment their budgets, most of the barangay captains also seek allocations for their priority projects from the City government, from national agencies, from the Congressional Districts, or from the Senators.
