QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 85)
The EO cites Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code as the authority for abolishing and reorganizing existing barrios into a new municipal barrio structure.
Eight (8) barrios are created: (1) Dulawan, (2) Sapakan, (3) Burarao, (4) Maganuy, (5) TimbaAgan, (6) Talayan, (7) Daguma, and (8) Isulan.
All existing barrios are “abolished and reorganized” into eight new barrios under the EO.
It means the former barrio entities become subordinate units called “sitios” under the reorganized barrio structure.
It takes effect immediately upon its organization as stated in the EO.
It is the municipal jurisdiction where the barrio reorganization is implemented; EO No. 85 reorganizes the barrios within that new municipality.
Each new barrio is defined by listing the specific old barrios that are consolidated into it, which are thereafter called sitios.
The EO lists specific old barrio/sitio names under each new barrio; a name could potentially appear more than once across lists depending on the historical record, but within the EO text the assignment is by the explicit enumeration provided for each barrio.
The Secretary of the Interior both recommended the reorganization and signed “By the President,” serving as the responsible department head for the interior administration matter.
It shows the President’s authority (under the Revised Administrative Code) to reorganize local territorial units (barrios), including abolition and consolidation, transforming barrios into barrios with subordinate sitios.
It demonstrates an exercise of administrative reclassification and territorial restructuring that can alter legal/administrative boundaries and the status of local units (from barrio to sitio under a new barrio framework).
The EO enumerates each new barrio with a numbered list and expressly names the old barrios (later called sitios) included in each.
You would locate the old barrio name in the EO’s lists to determine which new barrio it became part of and whether it is now considered a “sitio” within that new barrio.
