VIRAL: Netizens Condemn the Division of Palawan into Three Provinces

As of today, it has been reported that Palawan division plebiscite has started already. Netizens call the attention of the Palaweños to vote NO in separating Palawan into 3 provinces.

According to the Commission on Elections (Comelec), Palawan will be divided into provinces namely; Palawan del Norte, Palawan Oriental, and Palawan del Sur.

#NoTo3in1Palawan is number one trending in the Philippines as of now.

ABS-CBN tweeted, “On March 13, Palaweños will vote yes or no to the province’s division through a plebiscite. This map shows how the prospective provinces of Palawan would look like if the yes votes win in the upcoming plebiscite.”

Here are some of the tweets:

The division of Palawan never served the interest of the people in the first place but by the mere desires of politicians. This division would not only have a negative impact on the economy but also puts the ecosystem and security of Palaweños in danger.#NoTo3in1Palawan https://t.co/5h2P1yxkDD

PALAWAN IS FOR PALAWEÑOS
PALAWAN IS FOR FILIPINOS BY HEART, AND BY BLOOD
AND NOT FOR CROCODILES
I AM TELLING YOU ALL.
WE ALL HAVE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH FROM THEM.
TIME TO WAKE UP.
PROTECT OUR HOME.
DO NOT LET IT BE STOLEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.#NoTo3in1Palawan #NoTo3in1Palawan

As someone who’s working in the development sector particularly in forest protection, dividing the province into three will only pave the way for further exploitation of natural resources. Remember, Palawan is our LAST frontier. We better make the right decision. #NoTo3in1Palawan
