Tolentino bats for division of Maguindanao into 2 provinces to speed up development

This followed a hybrid public hearing on bills creating local government units , including his Senate Bill 1824, seeking to divide Maguindanao into two provinces, namely: Northern Maguindanao and Southern Maguindanao.

Despite the existence of this vast potential, the province ironically remains one of the poorest provinces in the country. “In order to achieve this goal, one solution would be to focus on socio-economic development activities in the province and making sure that these programs actually reach majority of the people,” he pointed out.

“With this new set-up, government officials of each new province would be able to more properly focus their efforts in assisting lesser constituents and lesser territorial jurisdiction. The government of each province will now be able to create projects and programs that would better address the intricacies and special needs of their respective jurisdictions,” Tolentino said.
