Presidential Decree No. 225
June 25, 1973
Case Overview and Summary
Background and Purpose- The Municipality of Tomas Oppus in the Province of Southern Leyte was created by Republic Act No. 5777, which specified that the seat of government shall be in Barrio San Isidro. (Section 1)
- However, due to the lack of facilities in Barrio San Isidro, the municipal offices were temporarily established in Barrio Banday.
- The majority of the Citizens' Assemblies petitioned for a referendum to transfer the seat of government from Barrio San Isidro to Barrio Banday, as the municipal offices have been operating in Barrio Banday since the municipality's inception.
- In the referendum conducted on May 26, 1973, the overwhelming majority voted for the transfer of the seat of government to Barrio Banday.
Provisions
- Section 1 of Republic Act No. 5777 is amended to state that the seat of government of the Municipality of Tomas Oppus shall be in Barrio Banday.
- The barrios that comprise the Municipality of Tomas Oppus are: San Isidro, Punong Hinapo, Rizal, Maslog, Banday, Gambite, Cabascan, Cawayan, Anahawan, Carnaga, Maanyag, Tinago, and Salvacion. (Section 1)
- Any existing laws, rules, and regulations in conflict with this Decree are repealed or modified accordingly.
- This Decree takes effect immediately upon issuance.
