TUGUGARAO City—The Sangguniang Panlalawigan has unanimously expressed strong support for a proposal to reconfigure the province into five legislative districts to address the growing population and enhance the congressional representation of every Cagayano.
The board, led by Vice Gov. Manuel Mamba, ratified the resolution supporting Gov. Edgar Aglipay’s initiative to create two more legislative districts in the province.
According to councilor Romeo Garcia, the creation of additional legislative districts is crucial for more efficient governance and to better serve the people of Cagayan.
While the 1987 Constitution grants Congress the power to create districts, the provincial council asserted its right to voice its position on an issue that directly impacts Cagayanos.
