on 17 july 2008, the supreme court, in "sema v. comelec" declared the creation of the province of shariff kabunsuan void and ruled that the power of armm's legislature to create provinces and cities is unconstitutional. the supreme court in particular held that only the congress of the philippines was empowered to create provinces and cities because the creation of such necessarily included the power to create legislative districts, which explicitly under the philippine constitution was within the sole prerogative of congress to establish. consequently, the court also declared the power of the regional assembly to create provinces and cities within the autonomous region in muslim mindanao as unconstitutional.

the first lantern is a mysterious being that stirs within imprisonment, sealed in the chamber of shadows for billions of years by the guardians of the universe. the guardians (who have become unemotional) decided the green lantern corps had failed as an interstellar police force due to their emotions and free will and it was time to replace them, so they traveled to the chamber of shadows to pull the first lantern out; however as they reach the chamber of shadows they had to battle another group of oans that were tasked with guarding the enigmatic first lantern, even from the guardians themselves. despite heavy resistance, the guardians take the first lantern, who is able to recognize the guardians and demands to be let out to no avail, and travel to earth where they use the dna of the first lantern along with their own flesh to create a horde of infectious warriors, known as the third army. the imprisoned first lantern tells them that they will regret what they have done and that he will escape. as the third army spreadover the universe destroying all life and free will, the guardians told the first lantern that once the third army completes their control over the whole universe, there will be no need for him. meanwhile, black hand reanimated the elder oan (who was killed by the guardians) for information about where the guardians hid the first lantern, but is only told that the first lantern endangers the universe. when the guardians realize they cannot completely control the universe and need more of the third army, they use more of the power of the first lantern, without realizing that the first lantern's prison is breaking. while hal jordan and sinestro are trapped in the dead zone, they encounter tomar-re (who was undead in the dead zone) and tells them to stop the first lantern, before he goes about bringing changes to reality in history. it is eventually explained that the first lantern was a mysterious explorer named volthoom from an unknown time and universe, who had reached this universe during the beginning of krona's experiment to observe of the origins of the universe. volthoom had apparently unlocked the power of the emotional spectrum as he came with a power battery of his own (later revealed to be the "travel lantern") and taught what he knew about the emotional electromagnetic spectrum energy to the guardians of the universe. as they scrambled to copy his gifts using technology, the maltusians forsook their emotions, casting them into a device of their own creation, "the great heart". as a result of the influx of power and energy a ring was created, the very first power ring which they would use in conjunction with volthoom's own power battery to allow him to return to his home. however, because the power battery was a direct connection to the emotional spectrum and had no intermediary battery, no safety regulators and no modulators, volthoom became corrupted by its powers and took them for himself. now able to harness any color of the emotional spectrum, volthoom dismayed the guardians of the universe and renaming himself as the first lantern, he began killing millions of beings in the universe. in order to fight back, the guardians created the manhunters and also released simultaneously the first seven green lantern rings to scan for possible users. volthoom was eventually stripped from his power, sealed in an unbreakable chamber, and written out of their history. a number of guardians remained behind to ensure that the first lantern was kept imprisoned forever and became known as the hidden ones.
