It was done in the City of Manila on June 1, 1961.
It indicates that the authority to convert local government units is grounded in a specific statutory provision, making the EO a valid exercise of delegated power.
It means the municipality’s legal existence and governance effects begin right away, not after a waiting period, affecting administrative, organizational, and jurisdictional arrangements immediately.
No. The EO explicitly provides that the seat of government and territorial jurisdiction shall be as heretofore, meaning no change is stated.
It implies that the Provincial Board’s recommendation is a prerequisite or at least a significant input, which the President acts upon through an EO pursuant to law.
They should interpret it as the EO being authorized and limited by that statutory section—i.e., the President acted within the power granted by that law.
