Whereas a petition has been presented for the annexation of the barrio of Balaybay of the municipality of Subic, Zambales, to the municipality of Castillejos, same province;

Whereas it appears that the said barrio is much nearer to the poblacion of Castillejos than to the poblacion of Subic, that it is more conveniently accessible from Castillejos, and that the great majority of its inhabitants who participated in the plebiscite held for the purpose favor the proposed annexation;

Now, therefore, upon recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Finance, and the provincial board of Zambales, and pursuant to the provisions of section sixty-eight of the Revised Administrative Code, the barrio of Balaybay is hereby segregated from the municipality of Subic and annexed to the municipality of Castillejos.

The municipality of Castillejos shall consist of its present territory plus the territory comprised in the barrio of Balaybay. The municipality of Subic shall consist of its present territory minus the territory comprised in the barrio of Balaybay.

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

Done at the City of Manila, this twelfth day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the fourth.
