IMUS, Cavite — Officials were elated by President Duterte’s early signing of a Congress measure that moved for the creation of the eighth district in the Province of Cavite.
The President signed into law on Friday Republic Act 11069 or the Act amending Section I of R.A. 9727, reapportioning the historical province into eight legislative districts.
Cavite, Luzon’s most densely populated area, currently has seven districts comprising seven ities and 16 municipalities.
With the approved redistricting law, the province’s 6th and 7th Districts would be reapportioned, make General Trias City as a lone district and create the 8th District.
Under the law, General Trias will solely be the 6th District, the 7th District will be composed of Trece Martires City. Amadeo, Tanza and Indang and the 8th District will comprise Tagaytay City and the municipalities of Alfonso, General Emilio Aguinaldo (also called Bailen), Magallanes, Maragondon, Mendez-Nuñez, Naic and Ternate.
The 6th District is currently composed of the cities of General Trias, Trece Martires and municipalities of Tanza and Amadeo while the 7th District comprises Tagaytay City and the municipalities of Alfonso, General Emilio Aguinaldo, Indang, Magallanes, Maragondon, Mendez-Nunez, Naic and Ternate.
The 7th District Representative and the administration’s PDP-Laban-Cavite head Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino and his brother, Francis, former mayor of Tagaytay, now Presidential Adviser for Political Affairs, said that the signed law was a welcome development as it would boost further developments and progress particularly in the three concerned districts (6th, 7th and the new 8th Districts).
The law was well supported by all the other six Cavite House legislators namely 1st District Rep. Francis Gerald A. Abaya, 2nd District (Bacoor) Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla, 3rd District (Imus) Rep. Alex L. Advincula, 4th District (Dasmarinas) Rep. Jennifer A. Barzaga, 5th District Rep. Roy M. Loyola and 6th District Rep. Luis A. Ferrer.
The law, earlier approved by Senate President Vicente C. Sotto III and House of Representatives Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, was also backed by the provincial and local officials.
