QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 143)
It segregates the former municipality of Tubungan from the municipality of Guimbal, Province of Iloilo, and organizes Tubungan as an independent municipality with its seat of government in the barrio of Tubungan.
It was issued in response to the petition of many inhabitants of the former municipality of Tubungan asking for separation from Guimbal and reorganization into an independent municipality.
Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code.
The provincial board of Iloilo recommended the creation/reorganization, and the matter was also through the Secretary of the Interior and the Assemblyman mentioned in the EO (Hon. Jose C. Zulueta).
Guimbal shall consist of its present territory less the territory comprised in the former municipality of Tubungan.
Tubungan shall consist of the territory comprised in the former municipality of Tubungan.
The seat of government is in the barrio of Tubungan.
It takes effect May 1, 1938.
It means Tubungan is established as a separate political unit from Guimbal, with its own municipal organization and territory, rather than remaining under Guimbal.
Both: the former municipality of Tubungan is reorganized/reenstablished as an independent municipality, and its territory is separated from Guimbal.
It indicates that Tubungan previously existed as a municipality but was now being legally restored and formed again as a separate municipal government.
Iloilo—specifically, Tubungan is separated from the municipality of Guimbal, Province of Iloilo.
The new independent municipality is organized under the same name: “Tubungan” (under the name of Tubungan).
It implies that municipal legal personality and governmental independence depend on legally defined territories; changing boundaries through EO changes which municipality governs the territory.
It is signed by Manuel L. Quezon as President of the Philippines, with Jorge B. Vargas as Secretary to the President by the President.
They identify the authority and timing of the executive act, important for determining when it was promulgated and for the start of its effectivity when specified.
It treats the former municipality of Tubungan as the basis for the reestablished independent municipality, using its existing territory and re-creating its municipal status.
