QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 107)
To define and delineate the Port Zone of Kolambugan for the planning and development of necessary port facilities to support shipping trade demands within the region.
It delineates and establishes the territorial jurisdiction of the Port of Kolambugan in the Municipality of Kolambugan, Province of Lanao del Norte by giving a precise boundary description using bearings/distances from a “point of beginning,” including a computed total area.
534,968 square meters (more or less).
The Kolambugan Port Zone is placed under the administrative jurisdiction of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), which shall implement a program for proper zoning, planning, development, and utilization of the port, consistent with regional industrial plans.
The text expressly provides “administrative jurisdiction” and tasks PPA to implement programs for zoning, planning, development, and utilization. Any broader regulatory/operational powers would depend on PPA’s enabling laws and related regulations.
It implies PPA’s zoning, planning, development, and utilization must align with existing government regional industrial planning frameworks and cannot be pursued in isolation from those plans.
It provides that all issuances, orders, rules, and regulations—or parts thereof—that are inconsistent with EO No. 107 are repealed, amended, or modified accordingly, guiding legal conflict resolution.
Only the invalid provision is affected; other provisions not affected remain valid and subsisting.
Immediately upon publication in a newspaper of general circulation.
It provides an objective, technical basis for determining the exact limits of the Port Zone, which is crucial for land use planning, implementation of port projects, and avoiding boundary disputes.
The boundary description begins at a specific geodetic reference point (“point marked 1”), defined by its distance and relation to BLLM No. 1, PLS-89, and then proceeds by bearings and distances to other points, ensuring survey accuracy.
Section 1 delineates the geographic scope (the Port Zone/territorial jurisdiction), while Section 2 assigns administrative jurisdiction over that delineated zone to the PPA for planning and development.
Not from the text alone. EO No. 107 delineates jurisdiction and assigns planning/development functions to PPA. Changes in ownership generally require separate legal processes (e.g., expropriation or other lawful modes), not mere delineation.
Survey/boundary disputes, inconsistencies with existing land classifications or titles, challenges to the accuracy of delineation, and questions on whether local zoning/land use ordinances must conform to PPA’s planning authority within the Port Zone.
