Creation of Labason Municipality, Zamboanga

The order organizes barrios of Labason and La Libertad from the municipality of Sindangan into an independent municipality.
The new municipality is named Labason.
The municipality of Labason is established with its seat of government in the barrio of Labason.
The order increases the municipalities in the Province of Zamboanga to ten by the segregation from Sindangan.
The creation is implemented through the organizational mandate of Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code.

The territory of Labason is defined by geographic boundaries referencing surrounding municipalities and specific separations.
On the east, Labason is bounded by the territory of Sindangan, separated by the entire course of the Patawag River.
The boundary separation eastward is shown in the map of Sindangan prepared on July 19, 1947, by the Instrument-Surveyman and submitted to and approved by the district engineer of Zamboanga.
On the south, Labason is bounded by the municipality of Kabasalan, separated by the present Sindangan–Kabasalan boundary.
On the southwest, Labason is bounded by the municipality of Siocon, separated by the present boundary line between Sindangan and Siocon.

The territory of the municipality of Sindangan after segregation consists of its present territory minus the territory comprised in the municipality of Labason.
The reduction is effected by the segregation of the barrios of Labason and La Libertad.

The organization of the municipality of Labason takes effect on January 1, 1948.
