Lone District of Bacoor City
In keeping with the decentralization of Cavite in the midst of increasing population by adding more congressional districts to streamline delivery of public services in the province, a bill was filed by Rep. Joseph Abaya with Cavite Reps. Pidi Barzaga and Crispin Remulla as co-authors. It aims at creating a separate congressional district for Bacoor (making it the second congressional district once the bill is signed into law). The bill was sponsored by Senator Benigno S. Aquino III and co-sponsored by Senator Francis Escudero, Senator Panfilo Lacson, Senator Richard Gordon and Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr.. It was approved by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as Republic Act 9727 last October 22, 2009.
The City of Bacoor officially considers the newly-created district the "Lone District of Bacoor (2nd District of Cavite)".

Famous quotes containing the words lone, district and/or city:
“There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman:
If it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole
world.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
