RA 9716

So the president signed RA 9716 creating a new district in Camarines Sur (CamSur) province in Bicol region. Now what?

"Section 5-3, Article 6 of the Constitution requires a minimum population of 250,000 for a local government unit (LGU) or clusters of LGUs to be declared a congressional district. Each district should be composed of a “contiguous, compact, and adjacent territory."

--
"Based on the 2007 census, the proposed new district—composed of the municipalities of Cabusao, Del Gallego, Lupi, Ragay, and Sipocot—only has a population of 176,383"

While we need to see the latest census considering the booming population of our country, for now it is right to say that differently it fails to qualify as a new district and RA 9716 is unconstitutional.

joomla! part 2....

starting with a fresh installation with not much of an idea can bring you to the strange land... that's happening to me... with not much knowledge in joomla! i tried installing the thing on my online site... while it sweetly works on local workstation it doesn't online... first not knowing the latest version... i installed 1.0 and a lot of problems came out... fix here... fix there... hmmm.. it's not working... solution ask from the guru's in the community site... then i was told i'm running the old version with a lot of bugs in it... that happens when you don't read instructions like me... hehhe... i now need to reinstall which i did using the newer 1.5RC and hopes for a much better result... but then again like the first one, a problem... the client side is in disarray... asked for help from the forum and did some adjustments... i did corrected some error though... but no totally... need to work on it now... reposting link... http://tupv97.pandela.org/tupv97/ ...
