Formally proposed/renamed barangays

Proposed barangay with enacted law

Rejected in a plebiscite

Banawa-Englis (2010) – The act dividing Barangay Guadalupe into two, Republic Act No. 9905,^[27] was approved on January 7, 2010.^[28] Banawa-Englilsh was to be composed of the puroks in Sitio Banawa and Sitio English. The COMELEC originally scheduled the plebiscite on March 13, 2010, but was delayed because of court petition from then Labangon barangay councilman Victor Buendia to withhold the plebiscite. A new date of the plebiscite was set and on July 28, 2012, majority of the votes cast rejected the division.^[29]

Proposed rename barangay

Buot-Taup to Pedro Calungsod (2000–2011) – Then barangay captain Rosalina Callino lobbied to the Cebu City Council the renaming of Barangay Buot-Taup to Pedro Calungsod, who was beatified March 5, 2000, after their barangay council adopted a resolution changing the barangay's name due to the negative connotation of the word "taup" which means "deeply rooted" in Cebuano.^[30]
Buot-Taup to Buot (2011) – The barangay, in a new resolution, proposed to drop the word "taup" from Barangay Buot-Taup. The Cebu City Council referred it to the Culture and Historical Affairs Commission (CHAC) for their comments and recommendations.^[31]
