The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has not yet decided on a new date for the suspended plebiscite to ratify the division of the province of Palawan. Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon hinted that there might be no plebiscite until after the COVID-19 crisis subsides.
“The plebiscite in Palawan will push through months from now if the province is not on lockdown,” Guanzon said. President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11259 on April 5 dividing Palawan into the provinces of Palawan del Norte, Palawan Oriental and Palawan del Sur, but the plebiscite was postponed. —TINA G.
