all i want is only 1 cebu will see in combobox instead of many cebu. thesame with city

What I have tried:

Private Sub cboRegion_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboRegion.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim oledr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
        Connection = "select * from Address where Region = '" & cboRegion.Text & "'"
        cboProvince.Items.Clear()
        Dim acscmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
        acscmd.CommandText = Connection
        acscmd.Connection = OleCn
        oledr = acscmd.ExecuteReader()

        While (oledr.Read())
            cboProvince.Items.Add(oledr("Province"))
        End While
        cboProvince.SelectedIndex = -1
        acscmd.Dispose()
        oledr.Close()
    End Sub

Private Sub cboProvince_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboProvince.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim oledr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
        Connection = "select * from Address where Province = '" & cboProvince.Text & "'"
        cboCity.Items.Clear()
        Dim acscmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
        acscmd.CommandText = Connection
        acscmd.Connection = OleCn
        oledr = acscmd.ExecuteReader()

        While (oledr.Read())

            cboCity.Items.Add(oledr("City"))

        End While
        cboCity.SelectedIndex = -1

        acscmd.Dispose()
        oledr.Close()
    End Sub

Private Sub cboCity_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboCity.SelectedIndexChanged
       Dim oledr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
       Connection = "select * from Address where City = '" & cboCity.Text & "'"
       cboBrgy.Items.Clear()
       Dim acscmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
       acscmd.CommandText = Connection
       acscmd.Connection = OleCn
       oledr = acscmd.ExecuteReader()
       While (oledr.Read())
           cboBrgy.Items.Add(oledr("Barangay"))
       End While
       cboBrgy.SelectedIndex = -1
       acscmd.Dispose()
       oledr.Close()

   End Sub

Did you check if the sql string uses the correct values?

sql = "select * from Address where City = '" & cboCity.Text & "'"

I'm not 100% sure actually, but I thnk the SelectedIndexChange-Event is executed BEFORE the server controls are finished.

So check if cboCity.Text is empty in the procedure.
If it's emtyp try to use the follwing:

sql = "select * from Address where City = '" &  Request.Form("cboCity") & "'"

(Replace "cboCity" with the correct name of the control -> see Request.Form.AllKeys() in the immidiate window at runtime break)
