Cityhood[]
House Bill No. 6598 was filed last March 11, 2020 for the conversion of the municipality of Calaca into a component city in the province of Batangas.[6] The House of Representatives passed the bill. The bill was passed by the senate and was approved by the President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on May 26, 2021[7] through Republic Act No. 11544. Once the law is ratified in a future plebiscite to be conducted by COMELEC, Calaca will be the fifth city in the province of Batangas. COMELEC postpones the plebiscite to ratify the conversion of the municipality of Calaca into a city for the prepration of the 2022 elections.[8]
