Baybay City, Reverted Back to Municipality
Bad news to the residents and officials of Baybay City, Leyte. The city status of Baybay city will be reverted back to municipality after the Supreme Court ruled that the conversion of the 16 municipalities including Baybay, Leyte is unconstitutional. According to the ruling, the affected cities are not exempted from the requirements of the Local Government Code such as the number of population and the income (100 Million not 20 Million) for them to become cities.
The 16 municipalities are:
- Baybay, Leyte
- Bogo, Cebu
- Carcar, Cebu
- Naga in Cebu
- Catbalogan, Samar
- Borongan, Eastern Samar
- Tandag, Surigao del Sur
- Tayabas, Quezon
- Lamitan, Basilan
- Tabuk, Kalinga
- Bayugan, Agusan del Sur
- Batac, Ilocos Norte
- Mati, Davao Oriental
- Guihulngan, Negros Oriental
- Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte
- El Salvador, Misamis Oriental
If the ruling will be finalized then those officials and employees who are already receiving an upgraded salary will be affected. The same is true to the local budget and projects that the affected cities had already been set.
While those who are affected are dismayed with the decision made by the Supreme Court, Mayors of those unaffected cities rejoice because the IRA (Internal Revenue Allocation) that should be given to those new cities will be shared back by them.









dapat lang na ibalik sa municipalities ang mga new cities na yan. pinaliliit lang nila ang mga budget na para dapat sa talagang cities.
Actually wala namang problem kung gawing cities ang mga yan kung talagang ang income nila ay pang cities. kawawa naman kasi yung mga cities na malalaki ang kita at naayon sa batas tapos kapantay lang ng IRA na matatanggap ng mga bagong cities kahit hindi naman umabot yung income nila sa itinakda ng batas.
Kung talagang gusto nilang gawing city ang mga towns nila, dapat sikapin ng mga officials na mapapataas ang kanilang income. Bat nila taasan ang mga taxes na binabayaran ng mga mamayan nila… suggestion lang

among the 16 mentioned above only 6 is retained as city. Baybay,naga,carcar and 6 other not mentioned. catbalogan is not lucky because their motion for consideration is not justifiable.
ang lahat ng gulo ay pakana ng league of cities because they are so clever and greedy.

Atty… to give fair justice of the 6 cities retained it should be published in the newspaper for five consecutive days and should posted in the internet and on tv news. Actually, people in the remote brgys. of the said cities doesn’t know exactly what after it was reverted. And the retention could only be considered rumor or hearsay which is not validated as true.
