Point “1” is located as being N 15A 42' E, 10,060.00 meters from BLLM No. 2 located at Barrio Lourdes.
The boundary follows the old Alubijid–Gitagum boundary (Natural) from point “8” to point “9” (described as N 15A 00' W, 3,800.00 meters).
The boundary follows the natural shore line approximately 9,710.00 meters to the point of beginning (after point “10”).
