One Cebu
One Cebu (1-CEBU) is a provincial political party based in the province of Cebu. It is headed by Gwendolyn Garcia, governor of Cebu. History The party was formed in response to the ''Sugbuak'', or the failed Cebu-split movement, in time for the 2007 general elections. A brainchild of three Cebuano representatives who were in their last terms of office, ''Sugbuak'' entailed the supposed splitting of Cebu province into four independent provinces. In founding One Cebu, the Garcia family and their supporters capitalized on the widespread opposition to the ''Sugbuak'' movement, declaring that there is only one Cebu; hence, the party's name. They later left the Lakas—Christian Muslim Democrats, once the dominant majority party in national politics, and joined former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's political party, the Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI). The party's strength was further bolstered by internal alliances with the ''Alayon Alang sa Kalambuan ug Kalinaw'' (Alay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
