The group was united in this goal among others. They planned to make this a formal movement so they worked for its registration. The registration was not finished when election day arrived and only one won among the group.
The registration continued despite the aching hearts of the losing members but they continue to support the registration of the movement, until the time came when Ernesto Mondejar who is the one making a follow-up of the registration returned from Davao City with the registration having been accomplished and approved on August 8, 2002.

Factors that influence the founding of the movement
1. The resolutions of Sangguniang Bayan and Sangguniang Panlalawigan were approved on the year 1998. There was an apprehension at that time among the group that the plan might die a natural death.
2. The officials of Cannery Site and eight other barangays are changing and new officials might have no knowledge of the plan, and may not be supportive of the plan, so there must be a movement to convince and continually kindle and keep the fire burning in the hearts of these officials towards this goal.
The movement conceived a Mission-Vision Statement: “Aron makatabang sa mga opisyales sa barangay Cannery Site, ug sa walong kasikbit nga mga barangay sa ilang paningkamot nga makahimo og usa ka lungsod, kon asa pinaagi sa usa ka matinud-anon ug matina-aw nga pagdumalahan ang mga pumuluyo magkinabuhi nga malinawon sa usa ka mahinlo nga palibot.”
Translated as: “TO HELP THE OFFICIALS OF BARANGAY CANNERY SITE AND EIGHT OTHER NEIGHBORING BARANGAYS IN THEIR STRUGGLE TO BECOME A MUNICIPALITY WHEREIN THROUGH SINCERE AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE THE PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN A CLEAN AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.”
Aims and Objectives of the Movement
1. To help the officials of the nine barangays, namely: Cannery Site, Palkan, Lamcaliaf, Kinilis, Polo, Maligo, Landan, Upper Klinan, Klinan 6 on their struggle to become a municipality by giving information and education to their residents on the advantages and benefits derived from being a municipality.
MATUTUM FOR MUNICIPALITY MOVEMENT, INC is a support group to those who hold the positions as officials of the nine barangays in the struggle for the creation of ‘municipality of Matutum.’
