Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 352)
Executive Order No. 352, dated June 27, 1941, converted the municipal district of Tagum into a municipality.
The conversion was authorized under section sixty-eight of the Revised Administrative Code.
The temporary seat of government is at the barrio of Hijo.
The conversion took effect on July 1, 1941.
The municipality consists of the barrios of Binco-Agon, Hijo (Poblacion), Lasang, Madaum, Magugpo, Mawab, Pagsaba-Agam, and Tuganay.
The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Finance recommended the conversion.
The boundaries are defined using rivers (Lasang River, Maduao River, Tagactac River, Bunawan River, Lapinigan River, Magdagundung River, Liboganon River), latitude and longitude coordinates, and municipal boundary monuments.
They establish precise legal boundaries for the municipality of Tagum, ensuring clear jurisdictional limits.
The Executive Order No. 352 itself legally recognizes and converts Tagum into a municipality under the same name.
