Cebu 2nd district Rep. Antonio Cuenco has asked the House of Representatives to suspend action on the proposals to create Cebu del Sur, Cebu del Norte and Cebu Occidental.

Cuenco said proponents of the plans to create new provinces out of Cebu failed to follow instructions in the implementing rules for the creation of new provinces. Cuenco said the sponsors did not meet the required documents in the official checklist.

Meanwhile, there appears to be a slight chance that the public hearing on the bills will be held in an area where the actual public that will be affected by it reside – Cebu. On Wednesday night, Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia told Sun.Star Cebu that she convinced the head of House committee working group that the hearing should be held in Cebu.

The development came after Cardinal Vidal revealed that partial results of an unscientific survey carried out by the Cebu Archdiocese indicated that Cebu Roman Catholic parishioners oppose the plan to cut up Cebu into smaller provinces.
