刚查到，菲律宾国会巴拉望第二选区的议员今年还真的提了这个。他的提案内容是第一步，先把巴拉望省分为南、北2个省。未来的目标是车不给力大区。
这位议员的老爹也曾当议员，好像也提过类似议案，但是一直没有成功。看来他们巴拉望人把分省，升大区，视为一个目标了。

He plans to pitch a bill to formally divide the famous summer destination into Palawan del Sur and Palawan del Norte. The goal is to make the place a region, like Davao or Ilocos.His predecessors in Congress — among them his father — have pitchedsimilar ideas but fell on deaf ears. Will the 17th Congress be his luckycharm?
然后是稍早前《巴拉望新闻》的报道。

Second District Rep. Abueg to push for Palawan’s division
Palawan’s Second District RepresentativeFrederick Abueg said he will push for the division of Palawan intoPalawan del Norte and Palawan del Sur in the next meeting of thenational legislature.
“Nag-usap na kami ni Governor,positive naman ang tingin nya dito. Pero ikokonsulta pa natin sa iba,”Abueg said in an interview with Palawan News.
During the time of Former DeputySpeaker Alfredo “Amor” Abueg and then Cong. David Ponce de Leon, therewas already a house bill regarding this matter.
Abueg, who was given another mandateto represent the second district in the Lower House, is positive thatit’s about time to discuss the issue again. He said he will file a billand will do everything to cooperate in the whole process of legislation.
Incoming Third DistrictRepresentative Gil P. Acosta expressed support to Rep. Abueg’s plan. “Goako d’yan. In fact, during my term as board member in 2004, I evenpassed a resolution unanimously approved requesting our Congressmen topass a bill for the division of the province into two.”
Acosta said sometime in 2007, therewas another version of the proposal which proposed that instead of two,Palawan will be divided into three, namely Southern Palawan , NorthernPalawan and the Calamianes Group of Islands. The intent of dividing theprovince into three is to create a Palawan Region. However, for somereason, it did not prosper to the Congress, he added.
Meanwhile, First DistrictRepresentative Franz Josef George Alvarez refused to make a categoricalstand on the matter. But he said that whatever the consensus will beamong Palaweños, as resulting from a consultation with the people, hewill follow.
