Whereas the inhabitants of the barrios of Pias, Atabay, Baluarte, Dinaratan, Sorioan, San Tiburcio, and Cubcubbuot, and the sitios of Culiong and Maligcong, of the municipality of Santa Lucia, Ilocos Sur, have petitioned that said barrios and sitios be annexed to the municipality of Bauguen;

Whereas it appears that these barrios and sitios are much nearer to, and more easily accessible from, the poblacion of Bauguen than the poblacion of Santa Lucia;

Now, therefore, upon the recommendation of the provincial board of Ilocos Sur and the Secretary of the Interior, and pursuant to the provisions of section sixty-eight of the Revised Administrative Code, the barrios of Pias, Atabay, Baluarte, Dinaratan, Sorioan, San Tiburcio, and Cubcubbuot, and the sitios of Culiong and Maligcong are hereby segregated from the municipality of Santa Lucia, Ilocos Sur, and annexed to the municipality of Bauguen, same province.

The annexation herein made shall take effect on January first, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine.

Done at the City of Manila, this twenty-seventh day of September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the third.
