It is a special law because it deals with a specific local government concern: the transfer of the site of the provincial capitol of a particular province (Camarines Sur) to a specific locality.

It leaves the exact selection within the locality to the President (Section 2).
Before the transfer, the site of the provincial capitol was in the City of Naga.
RA 1336 was approved on June 16, 1955.
RA 1336 states that upon approval of the Act, the capital becomes the Municipality of Pili; however, the President still selects the specific new capitol site within Palestina.
