                    [Summary] => Former Governor Pablo Garcia sees that the creation of more congressional districts in lieu of the efforts to cut up Cebu into four provinces is more practical, and is economically and politically advantageous.


Garcia, who had already initially discussed the possible creation of additional congressional districts in Cebu with House Speaker Jose de Venecia and Deputy House Speaker Raul del Mar over the weekend, said that based on the current population of the province of four million it is already entitled to have 12 congressmen.

                    [Summary] => Former Governor Pablo Garcia denied receiving P5 million in fertilizer funds last year, saying the amount was blocked by then Agriculture Undersecretary Celestino "Junnie" Martinez, Jr. who ran against Governor Gwendolyn Garcia. 


Capitol consultant Pablo John Garcia, who spoke on behalf of his father, said the provincial government never received a single centavo of the amount.
Pablo John said Martinez blocked the release of the funds for fear that the Garcias would use it for Gwen's election campaign.
