Merging Lumbia with Opol and Cagayan de Oro

The portion of Lumbia located west of the Iponan River is merged into the Municipality of Opol.
This merger adjusts administrative governance for residents and local governance structures within that area.

The portion of Lumbia located east of the Iponan River is merged into the City of Cagayan de Oro.
This transfer incorporates the eastern part of Lumbia into the City of Cagayan de Oro's jurisdiction.

The order is issued pursuant to Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code.
It also references Section 2 of Republic Act No. 521, the Charter of the City of Cagayan de Oro, which authorizes modifications to the city's boundaries.

The executive order takes effect immediately upon issuance.
This immediate effect underscores the government's intent to promptly effect territorial and administrative changes.

Signed and enacted by then-President Ramon Magsaysay.
The Executive Secretary, Fred Ruiz Castro, also signs the order, validating the executive action.

The merging entails a change in municipal governance, administrative services, and local governmental jurisdiction for the affected residents.
Residents west of the Iponan River will henceforth be under Opol's municipal authorities.
Residents east of the river will come under the governance and jurisdiction of Cagayan de Oro City authorities.
Such orders are part of Philippine administrative law allowing territorial adjustments for effective governance and urban management.
