Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 41)
The primary purpose of Executive Order No. 41 is to designate certain parcels of land situated in the Barrio of San Jose, Municipality of Pili, Province of Camarines Sur, as the new capitol site of the Province of Camarines Sur.
Diosdado Macapagal was the President of the Philippines who signed Executive Order No. 41.
The parcels of land are defined by their lot numbers (Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3), their exact boundaries, and measurements including bearings and distances as shown on various cadastral and survey plans mentioned in the order.
These Republic Acts provide the legal basis and authority for the President to designate land for provincial capitol sites, validating the President’s power to issue an executive order designating land for government use.
Three parcels of land are designated as the new capitol site, identified as Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3.
The parcels of land were donated to the Province of Camarines Sur by Benito Marasigan and others.
Lot 1 contains approximately 500,510 square meters, Lot 2 approximately 150,003 square meters, and Lot 3 approximately 26,454 square meters.
The designated lands are located in the Barrio of San Jose, Municipality of Pili, Province of Camarines Sur.
The lot boundaries are described using various cadastral plans such as Csd-7046, II-10759, Pcs-2249, and references to the Pili Cadastre as well as the Manila Railroad Company boundary in Lot 3.
The Executive Secretary, Salvador L. Mariao, attests to and officially releases the Executive Order on behalf of the President, which is part of the standard procedure for validating executive issuances.
