Creation of Municipality of Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur

The barrios of Tukuran, Luya, Tinotungan, Militar, and Tagolo, together with their respective sitios, are segregated from the municipality of Labangan.
The segregated areas are organized into an independent municipality known as the municipality of Tukuran.
The order expressly locates Tukuran’s government seat at the barrio of Tukuran.

The Municipality of Tukuran is defined by boundaries starting at Point 1, the mouth of Bayao Creek.
The boundary then follows the upstream course of Bayao Creek to Point 2 with a distance of 2,900 meters.
The boundary proceeds from Point 2 to Point 3 on a bearing of N51A-00aW for 6,500 meters.
The boundary proceeds from Point 3 to Point 4 on a bearing of N69A-00aW for 10,5CC meters.
The boundary runs due east from Point 4 to Point 5, the Intersection of Tukuran River and lat. 8A-00aN, for 3,700 meters.
The boundary then follows the downstream course of Tukuran River to Point 6, the junction of Alegria Creek and Tukuran River, for a distance of about 16,100 meters.
The boundary continues from Point 6 to Point 7 in a southeasterly direction until it intersects the Aurora-Pagadian National Road at Km. 142, for 3,700 meters.
The boundary proceeds from Point 7 to Point 8 on a bearing of S23A-00aE until it intersects the political boundary of the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur and Lanao, for 5,400 meters.

The municipality of Labangan retains its present territory minus the portions included in the municipality of Tukuran, as delimited by the boundary described.
After segregation, Labangan is required to remain able to maintain its municipal government and essential municipal services.

The municipality of Tukuran begins to exist upon the appointment and qualification of the mayor, vice-mayor, and a majority of the councilors.
The municipality also begins to exist upon certification by the Secretary of Finance that Tukuran is financially capable of implementing the provisions of the Minimum Wage Law.
The Secretary of Finance certification requires that Tukuran can provide all the statutory obligations and ordinary essential services of a regular municipality.
The Secretary of Finance certification requires that, after segregation, the mother municipality of Labangan can still maintain creditably its municipal government and provide for the essential municipal services.
