BUKIDNON NEWS | BUKIDNON ELECTION WATCH 2013 - The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has issued a resolution in relation to the creation of the Bukidnon Fourth District and on the number and allocation of seats for elective public officials.
COMELEC Resolution No. 9539 spells out the new number of seats for elective public officials in relation to the May 2013 elections.
Based on the COMELEC resolution, there will now be 10 seats for the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (Provincial Board). There will be 2 seats for the Bukidnon First District Board Member, 3 seats for the Second, 3 for the Third and only 2 for the newly created Bukidnon Fourth District.
The COMELEC resolution also states that in order to know which district a candidate/candidacy falls under, the area or district where they are registered voters, based on the new districting, will be considered.
There will now also be a need for an additional Bukidnon congressman. Based on the official list of Bukidnon election candidates submitted by the Provincial COMELEC, 3 filed their candidacies for the Bukidnon Second District congressional seat.

bakit hindi kami na informed about 4TH DISTRICT? yung mga botante at under sa mga municipalities na naging 4th district kinonsulta ba about this? kasi kung ako, at mga kababayan ko sa Pangantucan we are not for 4th district. na shock nalang kami ng malaman namin ito.. hindi na ba kailangan ng Public Hearing? Public Consultation? I know everyone creates this for the better pero alam ba nila magiging epekto ito? Valencia has 120k voters, Pangantucan has only 20k and sois Kalilangan Bukidnon. So if may taga Valencia na tatakbo, kahit hindi na sya mangampanya sa Pangantucan at Kalilangan siguradong panalo na sya. kahit ZERO votes ang makukuha nya sa lugar namin. so paano kami matutulungan ang lungsod namin?
