Act No. 48 Section 1

Section 1

SECTION 1. Whereas the inhabitants of the Province of Benguet are at present almost entirely Igorrotes, and a large amount of control and direction by officers appointed by the Insular Government is deemed best suited to present conditions there, the following simple form of municipal government is adopted, to remain in force until such time as the Igorrotes develop greater capacity for self-government, or the civilized population becomes sufficiently numerous to require new and more liberal provisions. This Act shall apply to all the townships of the province, namely: Baguio, Trinidad, Galiano, Itogon, Tublay, Atok, Kapangan, Balakbak, Palina, Ampusungan, Loo, Buguias, Kabayan, Adaoay, Bokod, Daklan, Sablan, Kibungan, and Ambuklao.
