Sugbuak

Let me reiterate. Almost everyday if not often, I would pass by the Cebu Provincial Building or simply known to us as 'capitol' on my way to and from the office. For days now, it has that big banner strung up above tha main door. It read - NO TO SUGBUAK. Below it is a counter, manual not a matrix display or anything for that sort that increments each and every day. Today it has gone up to no less than 200,000. The curiosity in me dwells up. I should know what it is all about, afterall, I'm a Cebuana and should at least care about what's happening around me. (para mura ug true bah)

The word Sugbuak itself already connotes a meaning. Without having to search further, it's derived from the word Sugbu (old or bisaya name for Cebu) and Buak which meant to break or separate. Obviously, it's all about breaking Cebu! Ha? What?!?

Yes, there's an going move to divide Cebu into major provinces. They say Cebu will no longer be just Cebu. There will come Cebu del Sur, Cebu del Norte, etc. Let's just forebear technicalities here because i'm politically ignorant but that is the zest.

Why of all places Cebu?? Cebu is not that big with respect to land size. However, Cebu is one of the key cities of the Philippines with major economic zones. Laymen say that it's just about greed of power. Some politicians can no longer run for public office so they'll create 'places' where they could. So neat huh! I understand though that this is not an easy process. It has to go through a plebiscite.

I'm wondering, some time from now, will I then be not living in Cebu City anymore? So my address would be no longer Cebu but Cebu ek-ek whatever!

Goodness gracious great ball of fire!?!? Don't 'they' have other important matters to attend to?? Just asking...
