Barangays 970, 982, 983, 984, 985, 990 named in the COA report actually refer to Barangay 659-A, 202-A, 663-A, 587-A, 818-A and 664-A respectively, the DILG said. The barangays with alphanumeric names have only been assigned new automatically generated codes as their four-digit names were not recognized by the system under the city assessor’s office.
