representatives of their respective districts. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial council) of Cebu passed a resolution supporting the Sugbuak with a vote of 8–7; García, however, vetoed the resolution. García's call for a united Cebu met with strong support from local governments, business interests, civil society groups and even the Roman Catholic Church. In August 2005, the Archdiocese of Cebu conducted a survey in its 138 parishes to gauge the level of support for the Sugbuak. 71 parishes, including those of proposed capitals Argao, Bogo, and Toledo City, confirmed the belief of Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, Archbishop of Cebu, that a majority of Cebuanos opposed the Sugbuak.
