Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 245)
The main purpose is to create the barrio of Legayada in the municipality of Lambunao, province of Iloilo, by organizing the sitio of Bogo into an independent barrio.
The creation was pursuant to Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code.
The territory of the existing barrio in Lambunao, to which the sitio of Bogo belonged, is reduced by the territory comprising sitio of Bogo, which is now organized as the independent barrio of Legayada.
A sitio is a territorial enclave that forms part of a barangay (barrio), often a smaller community or cluster of households within a barangay.
An independent barrio is a territorial unit separated from its previous jurisdiction and recognized as its own administrative and political subdivision within a municipality.
The Executive Order was signed by President Carlos P. Garcia and countersigned by Executive Secretary Fortunato De Leon.
The order took effect immediately upon its issuance on March 30, 1957.
Yes, as seen in this case, the creation of the barrio of Legayada reduces the territory of the existing barrio by excluding the sitio that now constitutes the new barrio.
It marks the 11th year of Philippine independence from American rule, which began on July 4, 1946; this is a traditional phrase used to contextualize the date in official government documents.
No, the Executive Order primarily deals with the creation and territorial definition of the barrio but does not specify internal governance or administrative details.
