The province was the first to be created under Republic Act No. 9054 or the Expanded ARMM law. Aftermath By 2008, in Sema v. COMELEC and Dilangalen, the Supreme Court ruled the creation of the province as unconstitutional, as the constitution only gives Congress the power of creating legislative districts; this means that provinces and cities, which are made up of legislative districts, can only be created by a Republic Act made by Congress. This led to the province being reverted to Maguindanao.Aning Jerome July 18, 2008 (CORRECTED) SC zaps Kabunsuan; RP down to 80 provinces Philippine Daily Inquirer http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080718-149158/SC-zaps-Kabunsuan-RP-down-to-79-provinces April 4, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20080729023637/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20080718-149158/SC-zaps-Kabunsuan-RP-down-to-79-provinces July 29, 2008 See also 2021 Maguindanao division plebiscite References Category:2006 referendums Category:Elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Category:Provincial plebiscites in the Philippines Category:2006 elections in the Philippines Category:Politics of Maguindanao del Norte Category:Presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Category:October 2006 in the Philippines Category:October 2006 elections
