    If Cebu will be a sole state, I think the Parliamentary System would be best.

    But if Bohol, Leyte, and some Visayan provinces would join then I think it should be a Parliamentary Federal Republic, wherein each province would enjoy the status of a state. We don't want the new country to gripe against "Imperial Cebu."

    When the new country has been formed, Bohol would be the best place to put a capital considering its geographical location. A tunnel much more similar to the Euro tunnel connecting England to France should be built to connect Cebu and Bohol... On the southern side, a bridge (environment friendly of course!) would be better to connect Cebu and Dumaguete since ga-atbang ra jud sila.....

    Dumaguete would become the center of scientific innovations, research, etc... considering that it has Silliman University... Cebu would be the financial center..... Bohol will be an administrative place, it shall house the headquarters of the Army, Navy, Airforce...it shall also house the National Capitol, the many departments of Government, etc....

    REMINDER by the way to other posters: Please do not make this Thread a Tagalog-Hate thread.... This thread is dedicated to the discussion of an independent Cebu.... The call for independence does not necessarily mean that we should hate the Tagalogs... As the saying goes, politics should not be made personal...

    this thread is : Re: Cebuanos should declare INDEPENDENCE.

    it's just a 'dream' because wether we like it or not we are filipinos . and one has to ask why this topic even came up , it's because there are people in some parts of the country that shouts like theyre the only people in the philippines...

    and the number of nails wont make any difference , try another material ... Â* :mrgreen:

    i am aware of the topic . i am merely Â*stating the factors why some people in some areas would even think about being independent...

    mao ra na bai ... Â*my prior statements do not, in anyway, express discrimination.

    Correction lang, what resources Cebu have? Cebu almost has zero forest cover, dependent on other provinces on water supply. Less than 20% of the land is arable, and except for the copper deposits in Lutupan it has very little mineral deposits to speak of.

    What Cebu can boast is its strategic location being the center of it all. That's why traditionally it has been a favored trading post.

    Now, I do agree that the Philippines (in general ha) is better off being run by Cebuanos I don't know at this point how feasible it is to have an independent Cebuano republic of some sort.

    Maybe in the future, but for now? I think we're better off as part of the Philippines. Besides, we are Filipinos first and foremost. I do understand the sentiments of some people here, I used to think that way, Cebu is the best---Cebu is this and that. Until I went to other places and I've realized (bisa'n unsa kanindot sa Cebu, there are a few -- no make that a lot of things that we can learn. In short layo pa ta sa tinood, even though we are on the right track.

    I don't think that its the case in general nga there are discrimination against Bisaya/Cebuanos in the workplace here in Manila. Depende ra na nimo, if you're acting as if you have a chip on your shoulder then ingon ana gyud ang mahitabo. I never thought of being Cebuano as a liability. It's a non-issue for me. Depende ra na sa tao.

    I don't think the whole Visayan federation thingie will work anyway. You know why? Same issues ghapon, people in Bohol, Leyte, Negros would say, unsa man ning mga Cebuano's they think sila lang ang taga Visayan Republic or something.

    So same case ra ghapon, just as some people in Cebu think that people in Manila are only acting for themselves. Basta all I can say, as much as I love Cebu---there are a lot of things that we can improve on and we can only do that if we look outwards.

    It is hoped that it will not happen because the system would be a Federal one, wherein each province will enjoy the status of State... Each state will reap what it will sow... Therefore, the revenues they earn will go to them alone... Unlike in the current set-up where Cebu's and other province's earnings go to Manila first after which the decisions are made there regarding projects, etc... In effect, all of the provinces are contributing to the construction of Manila's MRTs and Skyways when in fact those who earned it should be given priority in its spending....

    So you are really serious about this independence eh.Â* Tell me, where will you get your army?Â* Where will you get your taxes?Â* Where is your infrastructure?Â* You dont even have a primitive subway or railroad? Most of all, where will you get your resources to feed your people?

    Your leaders are not even united because they too have their own selfish agenda. I dont think you can do it.Â* Not even in my wildest dreams.Â*
