Practice question
A proposed division of an LGU would downgrade the original unit's income classification. Officials say RA 11964 makes the effect irrelevant. What does section 7(e) provide?
- Income classification is never relevant to creation.
- Creation is a stated use of income classification, with a condition that division or merger not downgrade the original unit's income classification.
- Every division is automatically valid.
- Only the new unit's name matters.
- A political pledge overrides the classification condition.
