The people of Mandaue City are a step closer to having their own representative in Congress and additional congressional fund for development projects, said Senator Juan Edgardo Angara.
The Senate on Monday approved on final reading HB 8511 converting Mandaue City into a lone congressional district.
It also approved on final reading several separate measures creating 11 new barangays in the provinces of Kalinga and Laguna.
As chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Government, Angara sponsored on the Senate floor House Bill 8511 separating Mandaue City from the sixth legislative district of Cebu province to constitute as a single district.
If Mandaue City is converted into a lone district, it will not only get its own congressional representative, but also appropriation from the national government for projects and services that will benefit its constituents.
Mandaue City, which is known as Cebu’s “industrial heartland,” has a population of 365,144 people based on the 2015 census.
The Constitution provides that a locality with at least 250,000 residents should have one representative in Congress.
The Senate also approved on final reading three separate bills creating barangays Ipil, Lacnog West and Bulanao Norte, all in the city of Tabuk in Kalinga.
It also passed on final reading HB 7786 dividing Barangay San Vicente in San Pedro, Metro Manila into eight distinct and independent barangays, namely: San Vicente, Pacita I, Chrysanthemum, Rosario, Pacita II, Fatima, San Lorenzo Ruiz, and Maharlika.
The upper chamber also approved on third reading the bill amending a provision in the charter of the city of Bacoor in Cavite, and the proposal to create the position of Assistant City Administrator in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental.
All these measures were deliberated on and approved by the Senate local government panel before Angara reported them out on plenary.

Senate okays lone district of Mandaue City, six other local bills
By Hannah Torregoza
The Senate has approved on third and final reading a measure converting Mandaue City into a lone congressional district, as well as several separate bills that sought the creation of 11 new barangays in the provinces of Kalinga and Laguna.
Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara welcomed the approval of the measures which were deliberated on and approved by the Senate local government panel which he chairs.
As chairman of the Senate committee on local government, Angara sponsored on the Senate floor House Bill 8511 separating Mandaue City from the sixth legislative district of Cebu province to constitute as a single district.
Once Mandaue City is converted into a lone district, it will not only get its own congressional representative, but also appropriation from the national government for projects and services that will benefit its constituents.
Mandaue City is known as Cebu’s “industrial heartland,” and has a population of 365,144 people based on the 2015 census.
Under the Constitution, a locality with at least 250,000 residents should have one representative in Congress.
“This is good news for the people of Mandaue City because they are a step closer to having their own representative in Congress and additional congressional fund for development projects,” Angara said, of HB 8511 which was approved by the upper chamber on final reading last Monday.
The Senate also approved on final reading three separate bills creating barangays Ipil, Lacnog West and Bulanao Norte, all in the city of Tabuk in Kalinga.
The upper chamber, likewise, passed on final reading HB 7786 dividing Barangay San Vicente in San Pedro City, Laguna into eight distinct and independent barangays, namely: San Vicente, Pacita I, Chrysanthemum, Rosario, Pacita II, Fatima, San Lorenzo Ruiz, and Maharlika.
Also approved on third and final reading was the bill amending a provision in the charter of the city of Bacoor in Cavite, and the proposal to create the position of Assistant City Administrator in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental.

ABS-CBN kicks off 2019 with January ratings lead
ABS-CBN kicked off 2019 with a wide lead over its closest rival, according to data from Kantar Media.
The country's largest media and entertainment network got an audience share of 45 percent in January, 15 points higher than GMA Network's 30 percent, according to data from Kantar, culled from 2,610 urban and rural homes that represent 100 percent of the Philippines' total TV viewing population.

Nine of the top 10 most watched programs in January came from ABS-CBN, led by perennial top-rater FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano (39.1 percent) and the noontime show It's Showtime (38.6 percent). New shows debuted strong, including action drama The General’s Daughter (32.8 percent) and the reality competition World of Dance Philippines (30.8 percent)
The network's flagship newscast TV Patrol got 30.2 percent, the just-concluded drama series Ngayon at Kailanman got 28.7 percent, Maalaala Mo Kaya got 24.3 percent, Halik got 23.2 percent, Tonight with Boy Abunda got 22.8 percent, Bandila got 21.6 percent, the returning Minute to Win It: Last Man Standing got 22.6 percent, and Wansapanataym got 22.4 percent.
Other shows making into the top 10 are Home Sweetie Home, Goin' Bulilit, Playhouse, Kadenang Ginto, Los Bastardos, Pinoy Big Brother: Otso and Meteor Garden.
ABS-CBN continued to rule primetime, earning an average audience share of 50 percent versus GMA’s 29 percent; as well as the morning block (6 a.m. to 12 p.m.) with an average audience share of 37 percent, compared to GMA’s 27 percent; the noontime block (12 p.m. to 3 p.m.) with 42 percent, versus GMA’s 31 percent; and the afternoon block (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) with 44 percent, beating GMA’s 33 percent.

ABS-CBN also leads all media networks in bringing its content online. It launched its new streaming service, iWant, which immediately became the most in-demand app for Filipino iOS and Android users as it reached more than one million mobile app downloads on the first day of its official release last November.
