                    [Summary] => 

The anti-Sugbuak bills signature campaign has to continue despite apprehensions that this will no longer be acted due to the impending elections next year.


This was disclosed yesterday by Vice Governor Gregorio Sanchez, Jr. who is strongly in tandem with Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in the signature drive against the House bills that seek to divide Cebu into four provinces.


Sanchez explained that the signature campaign would show the sentiments of the Cebuanos on the proposed division of Cebu.

                    [Summary] => 

The newspaper the other day bannered the passage in the Local Government Committee of the three bills proposing to create the provinces of Cebu del Sur, Cebu Occidental and Cebu del Norte. To quote Cong. Eddie Gullas, that's "the first quarter." The second quarter contest will be in the Senate, the third in Malacañang. The last quarter will be the plebiscite. 


Judging by the way astute politicians engineered the quick and almost unnoticed passage of the law making the municipality of Talisay into a city, the creation of the three new provinces is almost certain.

The proposed creation of the provinces of Cebu del Sur, Cebu Occidental and Cebu del Norte, out of the first, second and third districts of Cebu, respectively, is not intended to disintegrate this province into pieces. The real "division," if it is so deeply well understood, dwells only on territorial jurisdiction and not geographical break-up, much less dislocation.
