Nueva Camarines

[2] The proposed province would border Camarines Sur to the west, the Philippine Sea to the north, Albay to the south, and to the east the island province of Catanduanes across Maqueda Channel.

[2] Its capital is expected to be Tigaon if the bill is passed.

[1] However, at the end of 15th Congress, it failed to pass to the Senate, and was never ratified.

In the 16th Congress under the former Representative Felix William Fuentebella, a bill was filed to repropose the creation of the province, but due to the lack of support from former Camarines Sur Representatives Maria Leonor Robredo and Salvio Fortuno, the proposal failed as well.

The bill was originally introduced by Congressman Arnulfo Fuentebella who currently represents the area of the new province in the House of Representatives and co-authored by fellow Camarines Sur Congressmen Rolando Andaya Jr., Diosdado Ignacio Arroyo and Luis Villafuerte, but is opposed by the Camarines Sur Governor Luis Raymond Villafuerte, and Representative Salvio Fortuno.
