Sema v. COMELEC (G.R. No. 177597, 2008) is a court case that was heard before the Supreme Court of the Philippines. It was consolidated with Marquez v. Comelec (G.R. No. 178628, 2008). It held that the Regional Assembly of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao does not have the power to create provinces and cities. Thus, the creation of the province of Shariff Kabunsuan was unconstitutional and that province no longer exists as a political entity in the Philippines.
