How the Municipality of Bayugan became the City of Bayugan under Republic Act No. 9405, through a series of Supreme Court decisions from 2006 to 2011.
Congress approved R.A. 9405, an act converting the Municipality of Bayugan into a component city to be known as the City of Bayugan.
The Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the law unconstitutional. The court ruled that Bayugan, along with the other fifteen (15) cities covered by the law did not meet the requirements for cityhood.
Acting favorable on the appeal of the sixteen affected cities, the Supreme Court reversed its earlier ruling. It held that the passage of the amendatory law regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by Congress specifically exempting a particular political subdivision therefrom was constitutional. Congress, in enacting the exempting law, effectively decreased the already codified indicators. As such, the cityhood status of Bayugan and the rest of the fifteen local government units was restored.
In a 16-page resolution, voting 7-6 with two justices abstaining, the Supreme Court reinstated its November 18, 2008 decision striking down the constitutionality of Republic Act 9405 and declaring RA 9405 as unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court once again upheld for the 3rd time and final time the constitutionality of RA 9405, thereby finalizing the cityhood of Bayugan and the other fifteen LGUs affected by the law.
The Supreme Court ordered its Clerk of Court to issue an entry of judgment on the cityhood case, sealing with finality the constitutionality of the law.

Tanaw mula sa itaas ng rotunda at plaza ng Bayugan City sa dapit-hapon.
Paano naging City of Bayugan ang Municipality of Bayugan sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 9405, sa pamamagitan ng sunod-sunod na desisyon ng Supreme Court mula 2006 hanggang 2011.
Inaprobahan ng Congress ang R.A. 9405, isang batas na nagpalit sa Municipality of Bayugan bilang isang component city na kikilalanin bilang City of Bayugan.
Idineklara ng Supreme Court of the Philippines na labag sa konstitusyon ang batas. Nagpasya ang korte na ang Bayugan, kasama ang labinlimang (15) pang lungsod na sakop ng batas, ay hindi nakatugon sa mga kinakailangan para sa pagiging lungsod.
Matapos paboran ang apela ng labing-anim na apektadong lungsod, binaligtad ng Supreme Court ang nauna nitong desisyon. Ipinasiya nito na ang pagpasa ng susog na batas tungkol sa mga pamantayan sa pagiging lungsod na itinakda ng Congress na partikular na nagbubukod sa isang political subdivision ay naaayon sa konstitusyon. Sa pagpasa ng Congress sa naturang batas na nagbubukod, epektibo nitong binabaan ang mga dati nang nakasaad na pamantayan. Dahil dito, naibalik ang katayuan bilang lungsod ng Bayugan at ng labinlimang pang local government units.
Sa isang 16-page na resolusyon, sa botong 7-6 na may dalawang justice na hindi bumoto, ibinalik ng Supreme Court ang desisyon nito noong November 18, 2008 na nagbasura sa constitutionality ng Republic Act 9405 at nagdeklara sa RA 9405 bilang labag sa konstitusyon.
Muling pinagtibay ng Supreme Court sa ika-3 at huling pagkakataon ang constitutionality ng RA 9405, kaya naging pinal ang pagiging lungsod ng Bayugan at ng labinlimang pang LGU na apektado ng batas.
Iniutos ng Supreme Court sa Clerk of Court nito na maglabas ng entry of judgment sa kaso ng cityhood, na tuluyang nagpatibay sa constitutionality ng batas.
