QuestionsQuestions (BFAR ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 195, S. 1999)
To transfer the seat of government of the Municipality of Ramon from Barrio Burgos to Barrio Bugallon, and to amend Republic Act No. 3320 accordingly.
Barrio Bugallon.
RA 5276 amends Republic Act No. 3320, specifically Section 1, by changing the location of the seat of government.
At the present site of Barrio Bugallon.
It reiterates that certain barrios are separated from the municipalities of Santiago and San Mateo in Isabela and constituted into a new and separate municipality known as the Municipality of Ramon.
From the Municipality of Santiago: Barrios Bugallon, Burgos, San Miguel, Sebastian, Raniag and Pagrang-ayan. From the Municipality of San Mateo: Barrios Oscariz, Bacalan and Bantug Petinez.
On its face, it primarily amends the seat-of-government location; it retains the boundary/creation language by restating the prior separation and constitution provisions.
The Act takes effect upon its approval.
It states the Act was enacted without Executive approval.
All the listed barrios (Bugallon, Burgos, San Miguel, Sebastian, Raniag, Pagrang-ayan; and Oscariz, Bacalan, Bantug Petinez) are mentioned as the separated areas that form Ramon—relevant for understanding that the amendment focuses on the seat location rather than the list of constituent barrios.
It changes the content of that specific section of the earlier law—here, specifically the clause on where the seat of government is located.
It indicates that the law became effective/was enacted despite lack of Executive signature, which students often relate to the constitutional mechanism for enactment when the Executive does not act.
The Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled.
It determines where the municipal government’s main offices and official functions are based, affecting administration, access to services, and implementation of local governance operations.
It is dated June 15, 1968; the text indicates it was enacted without Executive approval, June 15, 1968.
