Soccsksargen
In a November 2003 report by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, SOCCSKSARGEN was written as a word instead of an acronym, making it one of the earliest known use of this convention. However, as early as 2001, the region's name had already been stylized as Soccsksargen. Earlier that year, in September 2001, Central Mindanao was renamed as SOCCSKSARGEN as part of the reorganization of the regions in Mindanao. Soccsksargen takes its name from an area called SOCSARGEN, which is an acronym for South Cotabato, Sarangani, and General Santos.
