Each province was divided into towns (pueblos), whose affairs were managed by the municipal councils with the aid of principales. The towns were in turn divided and subdivided into wards (barrios), headed by tenientes del barrio, and barangays under cabezas de barangay. Fully implemented in 1895, the Maura Law was the most laudable Spanish reform in Philippine local government in its time.
