Legal basis and creation authority

  • Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code provides the legal basis for creating the municipalities described in the order.

Declaration of creation and territorial coverage

  • Executive Order No. 462 creates the Municipality of Tacurong in the Province of Cotabato.
  • Executive Order No. 462 creates the Municipality of Malang in the Province of Cotabato.
  • Each municipality’s boundaries are defined using a combination of established boundaries and imaginary straight lines anchored on named points, boundary monuments, and natural features.
  • Each municipality is organized with specified barrios, including a designated seat of municipal government.

Municipality of Tacurong boundaries

  • The Municipality of Tacurong is bounded on the east by an imaginary straight line running northwesterly from a point in the boundary between Buluan and Koronadal, particularly at the sitio of Talic towards San Manuel.
  • The eastern boundary continues in the same direction to its intersection with another imaginary straight line serving as the northern boundary, which is perpendicular to the eastern boundary and passes through a municipal boundary monument along the national highway near the sitio of Gansing, between the municipalities of Dulawan and Buluan.
  • The Tacurong northern boundary proceeds towards the established boundary between Buluan and Dulawan.
  • The Tacurong is bounded on the west by the established and existing boundary between Dulawan and Buluan.
  • The Tacurong is bounded on the south by the established boundary between Buluan and Koronadal.
  • The boundary description uses a referenced mapping basis: a Map of the municipality of Buluan submitted by the District Engineer of Cotabato showing constituented barrios to compose the proposed municipality of Tacurong, Province of Cotabato, Scale 1:250,000.

Tacurong barrios and municipal seat

Municipality of Malang boundaries

  • The Municipality of Malang is bounded on the east by an imaginary straight line starting from the municipal boundary monument MBM No. 3 at the northern edge of Sikatulan Forest, then straight to MBM No. 2 at the southern edge of the same forest.
  • The Malang eastern boundary then runs straight eastward, coinciding with the Kidapawan–Buluan boundary at MBM No. 1 located on the same boundary.
  • The Malang is bounded on the south by an imaginary straight line from MBM No. 1 on the Kidapawan–Buluan boundary to the point where the Damakling River branches on its easternmost and biggest branch.
  • From that river branching point, the southern boundary follows the westward course of the Damakling River until the sitio of Dungos.
  • The Malang is bounded on the west by an imaginary straight line from Dungos running northward until the intersection of the Buluan–Kabacan–Kidapawan boundaries.
  • The Malang is bounded on the north by the Malamote Creek, starting from the intersection of the Buluan–Kabacan–Kidapawan boundaries and following the eastward course of the Malamote Creek until its intersection with the Kabacan–Kidapawan boundary, then running straight south to the starting point (MBM No. 3 at the northern edge of Sikatulan Forest).
  • The boundary description uses a referenced mapping basis: a Map of Kidapawan submitted by the District Engineer showing the proposed municipality of Malang, Province of Cotabato, Scale 1:250,000.
