I think there should be some IPA note stating how is SOCCSKSARGEN usually pronounced... Ciacchi 20:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
A GEOGRAPHICAL NAME THAT'S ALL CAPS IS FANTASTICALLY ANOMALOUS. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS BE "Soccsksargen", PLEASE? -- Milkbreath ( talk) 02:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
All caps it is. That's how it's officially named. Same with CALABARZON, CAMANAVA, ARMM, CAR, MIMAROPA, etc. Hideous acronyms are a common part of Philippinized English and are often used even in official language. See Acronyms in the Philippines. Shrumster ( talk) 06:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
I agree that it's unfortunate, and I find the very practice apalling (it's indicative of bureaucratic gobbledygook dominating over geographic sensibilities), but a proper name is a proper name, capitalization included. I know someone formally named "Z19," whom everyone calls "Zee", but that doesn't give anyone license to enter his name as "Zee" in official documents, or, for that matter, in an encyclopedia. -- Alternativity ( talk) 18:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
I wonder when would USA PATRIOT Act be targeted... – Howard the Duck 01:58, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

SOCCSKSARGEN → Soccsksargen – WP:Commonname and WP:Concise. Apart from being easier to read and see, the media has begun using the lower-cased name over the upper-cased one as seen with these two articles. Also consistent with Calabarzon. Shhhhwwww!! ( talk) 03:57, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
