Historical Background
|
|
Executive Order No. 288 dated February 20, 1958 effected the creation of regional offices. Each Regional Office was placed under a Regional Director. There were eight (8) regional offices and Mindanao and Sulu became Regions 7 and 8. Davao City was the headquarters for Region 8 as organized in 1959. There were 6 provinces and 3 cities under Region 8: Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao , Misamis Oriental, Surigao provinces, and the cities of Butuan, Davao and Cagayan de Oro City. Dr. Vicente Gahol was the first Regional Health Director for Region 8. |
| |
| In 1973, Region 8 was divided into Region 10 and Region 11 as a result of the implementation of the Integrated Reorganization Plan of March 1972 which sought the creation of eleven (11) regional offices. Region 11 then consisted of 5 provinces namely: Davao , Davao Oriental, Davao Sur, North Cotabato and South Cotabato , and the 3 cities, Cotabato, General Santos & Davao . The Region was also known as Southern Mindanao and its headquarters was still located in Davao City . |
| |
| In 1975, another reorganization was done. The composition of Region 11 became the provinces of Davao , Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, South Cotabato , Surigao del Sur, and the 2 cities, General Santos and Davao . |
| |
| In 1993, Region XI (or Region 11) was added with another province by virtue of the subdivision of South Cotabato into 2 provinces with Sarangani Province as its new additional province. Thus, Region XI consisted of 6 provinces and 2 cities. |
| |
In 1995, Caraga Region was created and Surigao Sur became a part of it, resulting to the composition of Region XI into 5 provinces again and 2 cities: Davao Province , Davao del sur, Davao Oriental, South Cotabato , Sarangani Provin ce and the cities of Davao and General Santos. |
| |
| In January 30, 1998 , Compostela Valley Province was created into separate district province from Davao also known as Davao del Norte by virtue of Republic Act No. 8470, signed by Fidel V. Ramos. |
