States are previously independent countries but joined together to form one country under a federal set-up. to dave,

Republic of Cebu? you think cebu is free from corruption, scandals and violence? you think you're above pinoy mentality? i can cite so many instances of "manila-like" corruption in cebu. the truth is cebuano pride hides cebuano insecurity. the day cebu learns to stand on its own feet without pouting about manila is the day there is real bisdak identity. i know you know that. so focus more on action than attitude. david (i'm ilocano, by the way, but i've been traveling in vis-min for years) to roland ochoa:

Better yet, why not a Republic of Cebu. At the rate the country is going, Cebu will be dragged into the political mess these Manila jokers are doing. There is not much to look forward to in the country's future considering the majority's (luzon's) tendencies. Unless Cebuanoes will be on their own, we will be having a Kris Aquino as president in the future with boy abunda as vice president. Come to think of it Very right.
