The municipality has clearly defined boundaries starting at the shoreline near barrio Limbayan.
Boundaries follow the marine waters according to Section 2321 of the Revised Administrative Code along Maligay Bay.
Boundaries proceed through specific points, including the mouth of Guling Creek, separating Libertad and Dimataling.
The territorial boundary forms a closed perimeter including both mainland and island territories as per official maps from the Highway District Engineer.

The municipalities of Dimataling and Tabina retain their present territories except for the areas included in Pitogo.

- Appointment and qualification of its mayor, vice mayor, and majority of councilors.
- Certification by the Secretary of Finance verifying financial capability to meet statutory and essential municipal obligations.
- Assurance that Dimataling and Tabina can still maintain governance and obligations after territory segregation.

Boundaries and territorial definitions are supported by official documents such as maps prepared by the Highway District Engineer of Zamboanga del Sur.
The creation complies with existing provisions of the Revised Administrative Code, ensuring legality and administrative order.

The executive order formalizing the creation was signed and promulgated in Manila on September 4, 1964.
Signed by the President and the Acting Executive Secretary, making it an official government act.
