BY WILLIAM B. DEPASUPIL REPORTER

VOTING 6-4,the Supreme Court (SC) reversed its earlier decision and declared as constitutional the cityhood laws that converted 16 municipalities into cities.

The Court en banc, in a 35-page decision penned by Associate Justice Presbitero J. Velasco Jr., granted the second motion for reconsideration by the respondent cities on the Court’s November 18, 2008 decision that declared the cityhood laws as unconstitutional for violation of Sections 6 and 10 of the Constitution.
