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.

leadership seminar == foodtrip

i'm back with nothing in mind... hmmm... retrieving history... ok... last saturday we had our club leadership seminar @ chowking - lacson... it was a success for our club though not all went to attend but definitely the majority was there... we had a discussion about a lot of things, starting from our plans and goals but our main topic was on leadership... we are fortunate to have a group of people who are willing to serve fellow students without boundaries for the sake of our society... it ended as a foodtrip... hahhah... but it was a worth while experience and something that we can really be proud of... congrats CIS officers for a job well done... keep it up guys... ok... need to go back to work... peace people!...
