Territorial Boundaries and Technical Descriptions
- The law provides detailed territorial boundaries and technical descriptions for each of the eight barangays.
- Boundaries are specified by adjacent barangays, natural features like rivers, national railways, and expressways.
- Each barangay's area is measured in square meters with precise bearings and distances.
- Barangay boundaries are crucial for administrative and governance purposes, ensuring clear jurisdiction.
Conduct and Supervision of Plebiscite
- The plebiscite conducted by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) under previous resolutions ratified the creation of the eight barangays.
- The results proclaimed on July 11, 2015, are recognized as fulfilling the plebiscite requirement stipulated in Section 10 of the Local Government Code (Republic Act No. 7160).
- This legal recognition avoids the need for a new plebiscite.
Continuity of Barangay Officials

- The new barangays shall administer such facilities to continue public services effectively.
Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) Shares

- The entitlement is pursuant to Section 285 of the amended Local Government Code.
- This financial provision supports local administration and development of the new barangays.
Effectivity
