San Jose, Dinagat Islands (PNA) (12 February) -- The townsfolk on this island were saddened by the Supreme Court's (SC) decision to declare as "unconstitutional" the law creating the province of Dinagat Islands, Governor Geraldine "Jade" B. Ecleo said on Friday.
"This is not favorable to our people in this already progressive island. We are very saddened about this new development," she said.
The governor said the provincial officials are appealing for a reconsideration of the high court's decision.
Ecleo said even though the provincial capitol has not yet officially received the decision of the SC on Thursday, the legal panel of the provincial capitol here is now preparing a motion for reconsideration.
The officials of Dinagat Islands including the chief executives and Sangguniang Bayan (SB) members in the different towns are also making representations for reconsideration and appeal on SC's ruling.
Dinagat Islands comprises the towns of Dinagat, San Jose, Basilisa, Cagdianao, Libjo, Tubajon and Loreto.
On the other hand, the governor's mother, Dinagat Islands Rep. Glenda Ecleo will also make a representation to reconsider the decision of the highest court.MORE
