[talk-ph] Davao Occidental is the newest province in the Philippines

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

The recent Barangay Elections was also when the plebiscite for the
ratification of the creation of Davao Occidental province from Davao del
Sur (R.A. 10360) was held. The residents have voted "Yes" by a margin of
3:1.

Politics aside, as I have said before <http://www.plurk.com/p/ixzsof>,
Davao del Sur and Davao Occidental are now *really* bad names for these
provinces. Davao del Sur is located *north* of Davao Occidental, and Davao
Occidental is more *eastern* than Davao del Sur.
