QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 629)
Republic Act No. 2601 is titled “An Act Creating Barrios in Certain Municipalities of the Province of Rizal.” Its subject is the creation/conversion of specific sitios into distinct barrios in the municipalities of Morong, Marikina, and Pasig, all in Rizal.
The sitios of Caniogan, Calero, and Lunang in the Municipality of Morong were constituted into a distinct and independent barrio.
The new barrio is known as the barrio of Caniogan.
Section 1 states that the sitios are “constituted into a distinct and independent barrio.” This indicates a formal establishment of a separate barrio with independent municipal/local identity.
The sitios of Barangka, Parang, and Nangka were converted into barrios named Barangka, Parang, and Nangka, respectively.
The sitio of Manggahan in the Municipality of Pasig was converted into a barrio.
It is known as the barrio of Manggahan.
Morong: Caniogan, Calero, and Lunang → barrio of Caniogan. Marikina: Barangka → barrio of Barangka; Parang → barrio of Parang; Nangka → barrio of Nangka. Pasig: Manggahan → barrio of Manggahan.
Section 4 provides that the Act shall take effect upon its approval.
It indicates that RA 2601 became law despite not receiving executive approval, i.e., it was enacted in accordance with the constitutional/legislative rule applicable at the time; the stated date is when it was enacted.
It treats certain named sitios as administrative territorial units that are either constituted as new barrios (Morong) or converted into existing barrios (Marikina and Pasig).
It creates multiple barrios. For Morong: barrio of Caniogan (from three sitios). For Marikina: barrios of Barangka, Parang, and Nangka. For Pasig: barrio of Manggahan.
Morong is covered by Section 1, Marikina by Section 2, and Pasig by Section 3.
No. Based on the text shown, RA 2601 itself creates and converts the specified sitios into barrios, and it provides for effectivity upon approval (with the noted enactment without executive approval).
Because the legal effect is territorial and administrative: the Act’s validity and implementation depend on accurately determining the specific locations, boundaries (implicitly as designated by the named sitios), and the new barrio identities created in each municipality.
