Creation of Bonifacio Municipality, Misamis Occidental

The order is issued pursuant to Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code.
The order increases the number of municipalities in Misamis Occidental by segregating barrios from the municipality of Tangub.
The act of increasing municipalities is carried out in accordance with Act No. 3537 and Executive Order No. 220 (series of 1929).
The order proceeds upon a petition of inhabitants of specified barrios and upon recommendation of the Provincial Board of Misamis Occidental.
The order is acted upon through the Secretary of Finance and the Secretary of the Interior, together with the presidential action.

The order is based on a petition by the inhabitants of the barrios of Bolinsong, Bagumbang, Buracan, Dimalco, Galolot, and Tiaman.
The petition requests that those barrios be separated from the municipality of Tangub (Misamis Occidental).
The petition further requests that the separated barrios be organized into a regular municipality named Bonifacio.
The Provincial Board of Misamis Occidental issues a recommendation for the requested segregation and organization.
The resulting purpose is the creation of a regular municipality with a designated seat of government and technical territorial boundaries.

The order creates the municipality of Bonifacio as a regular municipality.
Bonifacio is organized through the segregation of the specified barrios from the municipality of Tangub.
The seat of government of the municipality of Bonifacio is in the sitio of Digson.
The order increases the municipalities of Misamis Occidental from ten to eleven by this segregation.
The municipality of Bonifacio is formed with territory defined by a technical boundary description.

The territory of Bonifacio is defined by a boundary that begins at point a1a and ends at the point of beginning.
The boundary description uses reference points labeled a1a to a18a and links multiple cadastral and index map references.
The boundary begins at a1a, identified as identical to M. B. M. No. 2 (equal to P. B. M. No. 2), Tangub cadastre, B. L. Cad. No. 271.
The boundary proceeds through segments referencing mapped monuments such as M. B. M. Nos. 3 to 12, including directions and distances such as:
- 436.45 m (from a1a to a2a),
- 927.37 m (from a2a to a3a),
- 8,310.64 m (from a11a to a12a),
- 9,600.20 m (from a12a to a13aa),
- 179.95 m (from a13aa to a14a).
The boundary incorporates water and shoreline courses, including references to Macaias creek, Dimalco creek, Bimaico creek, Bambang River, Bagumbang River, Pangil Bay, and Migpangi River.
All points are shown on the boundary and index map of Tangub Cadastre B. L. Cad. No. 271, cases Nos. 3 and 4.

The municipality of Tangub retains its present territory less the territory comprised in the municipality of Bonifacio.
The order’s territorial effect is therefore a reduction of Tangub’s area by the portion transferred into Bonifacio.

The organization of the municipality of Bonifacio takes effect on January 2, 1940.
The effectivity is subject to a condition requiring Bonifacio to assume the obligation of paying its proportionate share of the cost of the cadastral survey of the municipality of Tangub.
