Executive Order No. 69 1922 Transferring Tingloy and other Barrios from Mabini to Bauan

Batangas History
2 Feb, 2018
The present-day Municipality of Tingloy was like a volleyball being tossed from one town to the other during the American colonial era. In 1918, the then-barrio of Tingloy along with a few others presently associated with the modern-day town was taken from Bauan and became part of the newly created town of Mabini.
However, in 1923, the barrio along with others was removed from Mabini and returned to Bauan. The return was ordered by the Governor General Leonard Wood. The text of his executive order1 is contained below:
