2 provinces claim mountain village of Malico

SITTING 1,675 meters above sea level, the mountain village of Malico is so cool that it's generating a lot of heat between two provinces that claim jurisdiction over it.

Officially, Malico is part of San Nicolas town in Pangasinan, which Gov. Ramon Guico III says has historically been part of his province. In fact, the provincial government recently allocated P200 million for the development of a summer capital for tourists.
