The text quotes Executive Order No. 425 (March 16, 1961), whose main purpose is to create the Municipality of Lugait in the Province of Misamis Oriental by segregating certain barrios from the Municipality of Manticao.
The barrios of Lugait, Biga, and Aya-Aya, together with their respective sitios, all of the municipality of Manticao, were segregated to form the Municipality of Lugait.
Section sixty-eight of the Revised Administrative Code.
The seat of government is at the barrio of Lugait.
It provides a technical description using bearings and distances from point to point (based on a sketch plan/map) and includes boundary lines following the marine waters the municipality shall have pursuant to Section 2321 of the Revised Administrative Code, returning to the point of beginning.
The Bureau of Lands supplied the technical description based on the sketch plan or map showing the boundaries of the municipality of Manticao and the proposed municipality of Lugait, prepared and submitted by the Office of the Highway District Engineer of Misamis Oriental.
Manticao shall have the same territory minus that comprised in the Municipality of Lugait, as delimited by the EO.
It begins to exist upon the appointment and qualification of the mayor, vice-mayor, and a majority of the councilors, and upon the Secretary of Finance’s certification of financial capability.
That Lugait is financially capable of implementing the Minimum Wage Law and providing statutory obligations and ordinary essential services of a regular municipality.
That Manticao, after the segregation, can still maintain creditably its municipal government, meet statutory and contractual obligations, and provide essential municipal services.
Continuity of municipal services and fiscal viability—ensuring the segregation does not impair the mother municipality’s ability to meet its obligations and provide essential services.
It treats compliance with labor statutory obligations as part of the minimum financial requirements for municipal readiness to operate.
It ties the municipality’s maritime boundary area to an existing statutory rule for marine waters, ensuring Lugait’s jurisdiction includes the legally defined coastal/marine limits.
The appointment and qualification of the mayor, vice-mayor, and a majority of the councilors.
It was signed by Carlos P. Garcia (President of the Philippines) and countersigned by Natalio P. Castillo (Executive Secretary).
It is dated March 16, 1961, “in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-one,” indicating the date of issuance and formal effect upon meeting the conditions stated (appointment/qualification and Secretary of Finance certification).
