Creation of San Agustin Municipality, Isabela

A new municipality is created in the Province of Isabela known as the municipality of San Agustin.
San Agustin is formed from the southern portion of the municipality of Jones.
San Agustin’s territorial boundaries are defined through a survey description beginning at point 1 and ending at point 1 of beginning.
The boundary description includes specific named points marked by P.B.M., M.B.M., F. Z., B.B.M., and references to Jones cadastre 253 and related plans.
Natural features such as Lakay-lakay creek, Cagayan River, Dutap Creek, Siraagap Creek, and Dibuluan River are used to trace portions of the boundary.

The survey description starts at point 1, identified as P.B.M. No. 1, M.B.M. No. 1 and F. Z. No. 50 in Jones cadastre 253, then proceeds through bearings and distances to successive points.
The description includes segments such as N. 81A 06' W., 5,350.00 m. more or less to point 3, and N. 4A 14' E., 5,607.10 m. more or less to point 4.
The order traces parts of the boundary by following the natural course of Lakay-lakay creek with a general direction of N. 57A 48' E. over 1,488.55 m. more or less to point 10.
It also traces parts of the boundary by following the natural course of Cagayan River through multiple general directions (including S. 85A 26' W., S. 39A 00' W., and others in the boundary sequence).
The description uses Dutap Creek and later Siraagap Creek and Dibuluan River as boundary guides with specified general directions and distances.
The boundary sequence terminates at point 1 of beginning, ensuring closure of the territorial definition for San Agustin.

Dappig is designated as the seat of the municipal government of San Agustin.
San Agustin consists of the following barrios: Dappig, Masaya Norte, Masaya Sur, Masaya Centro, Nemmatan, Quinalabasa, Virgoneza, Sinaoangan Norte, Sinaoangan Sur, Palacian Grande, Uldogan and Dabubu.
San Agustin also includes the following sitios: Rangay, Sto. Niño, Mapalad, and San Juan.
The barrios and sitios are expressly enumerated as part of the new municipality’s political composition.

The municipality of Jones shall have its present territory minus the portion included in the municipality of San Agustin.
The territorial transfer is the only specified effect on Jones: Jones’s area is reduced to exclude San Agustin’s newly organized territory.

San Agustin begins to exist upon the appointment and qualification of:
- the mayor,
- the vice-mayor, and
- a majority of the councilors.
The creation cannot take effect earlier than November 15, 1949, even if the officials are appointed and qualified sooner.
