(Sponsor: The Committee on Housing and Land Utilization)
WHEREAS, Barangay Bagumbayan of this municipality, in desire to settle the

final boundaries with adjacent barangays of Tambac, Dungos and La Esperanza, all of
Tulunan, Cotabato, has re-defined their boundary lines by Jointly determining the
technical descriptions being cited in their Joint Resolutions No. 01 s. 2017;

WHEREFORE, be it;

(DRAFT) MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE NO. ___
AN ORDINANCE DETERMINING THE FINAL BOUNDARY AND

AREA OF BARANGAY BAGUMBAYAN, TULUNAN, COTABATO.
Be it enacted by the Sangguniang Bayan of Tulunan, Cotabato
SECTION 1. Title – This Ordinance shall be known and cited as the “The Final
Determination of the Boundary and Area of Barangay Bagumbayan, Tulunan, Cotabato”.
SECTION 2. Importance and Necessity – The issuance of this Ordinance is

deemed important and necessary because of the following:
a. Constant misunderstanding and conflict between and among residents of

Bagumbayan and the neighboring Barangays.
b. Confusion among constituents of all Barangays involved, i.e., in territorial claims,
in the payment of land taxes, in determining legal and social responsibilities, and
other public issues and concerns.

SECTION 3. Objectives – This ordinance, therefore, aims to:
a. Establish a final definition and delineation of the boundaries and, thus, the final
determination of the total land area of Barangay Bagumbayan, Tulunan, Cotabato.
b. Provide a final resolution to the persistent distrust and conflicts arising from
confused and unclear land boundaries, and facilitate peaceful co-existence and
active cooperation between Bagumbayan and its neighboring Barangays.
SECTION 4. Operational Definition of Terms – This section provides

clarification and commonality of interpretation to the different terms used in this
Ordinance to avoid misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
a. Barangay Bagumbayan – refers to one of the 29 regular Barangays of the

Municipality of Tulunan, situated to the north, and having a boundary to the next
Municipality of M’lang; within Tulunan, Barangay Bagumbayan has a boundary
to Barangay Tambac, Barangay Dungos, and Barangay La Esperanza.
b. Land Boundary – is a technical term used to define the edge of a certain area. This
boundary is defined when a certain political unit (Barangay, Municipality, City, or
the Province) is created.
c. Land Conflict – is a conflict between and among local government units, like the
Barangays, because of unclear and confused definition of the land boundaries.
Conflict arises because one Barangay lay claim over a piece of land claimed also
by its neighboring Barangay. The situation unnecessarily changes (actually
increases) the land areas of both Barangays and, because of this double claims,
the total land area of the Municipality becomes inaccurate if pegged against the
total area of all the Barangays.
SECTION 5. Legal Bases and Justification – The bases for issuing this
Ordinance are founded on the following laws and issuances, and authorities:
a. The Local Government Code (Republic Act 7160): Settlement of Boundary

Disputes: Section 118. Jurisdictional Responsibility for Settlement of Boundary
Dispute. - Boundary disputes between and among local government units shall, as
much as possible, be settled amicably. To this end: (a) Boundary disputes
involving two (2) or more barangays in the same city or municipality shall be
referred for settlement to the sangguniang panlungsod or sangguniang bayan
concerned.
Section 3, Operative Principles of Decentralization, provides … (that)

municipalities with respect to component barangays, shall ensure that the acts of
their component units are within the scope of their prescribed powers and
function; local government units may group themselves, consolidate or coordinate
their efforts, services, and resources commonly beneficial to them (f); there shall
be a continuing mechanism to enhance local autonomy not only by legislative
enabling acts but also by administrative and organizational reforms (h);
Section 5. Rules of Interpretation (c) The … provisions in this Code shall be

liberally interpreted to give more powers to local government units in accelerating
economic development and upgrading the quality of life for the people in the
community;
Section 16. General Welfare. - Every local government unit shall exercise the
powers expressly granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as, powers
necessary, appropriate, or incidental for its efficient and effective governance, and
those which are essential to the promotion of the general welfare. Within their
respective territorial jurisdictions, local government units shall ensure and support

… (to) enhance economic prosperity and social justice, maintain peace and order
...

that all neighboring Barangays have agreed to the finality of boundary determination
through their joint resolutions.
SECTION 11. Repealing Clause – All ordinances, rules and regulations or parts
