Dividing Camarines Sur Into Two Provinces

Senator Chiz Escudero said the choice of dividing the province of Camarines Sur should be left to the people through a plebiscite.

“The motives behind the move to divide or not to divide the province of Camarines Sur are political. Pareho lang naman silang namumulitika,ang pro and anti,” Escudero said.

“Let’s just leave the choice and decision to the people of Camarines Sur and let us all respect their choice,” he added.

In an emailed statement, the Bicolano lawmaker stressed that the will of the people of Camarines Sur should prevail once they have decided, through a plebiscite, when the decision to divide Camarines Sur will be put to a vote.

House Bill 4820, a bill creating the province of Nueva Camarines out of Camarines Sur, is currently in the period of interpellation at the Senate.

According to the bill, no new district will be created if the division of the province pushes through.

Escudero, however, clarified that while an additional district may mean additional taxes, it will also mean bigger funds for public services.

“For every new district created, more funds will flow into that area. In Sorsogon, for instance, we have two districts only. A congressman’s CDF is P70 million, so the province enjoys P140 million for different projects. If we get three districts, the funds to be poured into Sorsogon becomes P210 million,” Escudero explained.

“Instead of a staff of six each congressman, we will have 18 for three congressmen. Additional costs, but additional services also,” he added.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
