Creation of Municipality of Quirino, Isabela

Section 1 creates a municipality in the Province of Isabela known as Quirino.
Section 1 provides that Quirino consists of specified barrios and sitios taken from the municipalities of Ilagan, Roxas, and Gamu, all in Isabela.
From Ilagan, Quirino includes the barrios of Sta. Lucia, San Mateo, Sto. Domingo, Santiago, Manaoag, Vintar, Dolores and San Jose.
From Roxas, Quirino includes the barrio and sitio of Camaal.
From Gamu, Quirino includes the barrios and sitios of Luna, Suerte, San Juan, Binarsang, Sta. Catalina, Cabaruan and Sinait.

Section 2 sets the seat of government of Quirino at a site located between barrio Santa Lucia (Municipality of Ilagan) and Luna (Municipality of Gamu), Province of Isabela.

Section 3 establishes Quirino’s boundaries using a route description beginning at a river junction.
The boundary starts at the junction of the Mallig River and Cagayan River, then runs southwest along the center of Siffu River toward Roxas, until reaching a point about 5.50 kilometers from the national highway (Calao-Enrile Road).
From that point, the boundary runs due north until it reaches the Mallig River.
It then runs eastward along the center of Mallig River until it reaches the existing boundary line of Ilagan, Mallig, and Magsaysay.
It then follows the existing boundary line of Mallig and Ilagan, and the boundary line of Magsaysay and Tumauini up to the point of beginning.

Section 4 provides that Ilagan, Roxas, and Gamu retain their present territories minus the portions included in Quirino’s territory as delineated in Section 3.

Section 5 provides that the Municipality of Quirino begins to exist upon the election and qualification of the mayor, vice-mayor, and a majority of the councilors.
Section 5 directs that the mayor, vice-mayor, and councilors shall be elected in the next local elections after the approval of Republic Act No. 4901.
Section 5 states that thereafter, these officials shall be elected in succeeding local elections.
