The Rebirth of Negros Island Region: A Long-Awaited Union

Discover the journey behind the establishment of the Negros Island Region and the anticipated wave of development it brings to the region!

Negros Island Region, once a vision championed by leaders in the 1980s, has finally come to fruition with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signing the NIR Act into law. This union between Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor is set to pave the way for a new era of growth and progress. The Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act will also play a vital role in ensuring effective governance and development within the region.

The long road to the creation of the Negros Island Region highlights the dedication of past leaders like former Negros Occidental governor Daniel Lacson and the late Negros Oriental governor Emilio. Their efforts have laid the foundation for the unity and prosperity that the region is poised to experience. With the establishment of the NIR, a wave of development is anticipated, offering opportunities for economic growth and enhanced well-being for the residents.

President Marcos emphasized the overdue nature of uniting the Negros provinces, including Bacolod City. The signing of Republic Act 12000 marks a significant milestone in the region’s history, symbolizing a new chapter of cooperation and progress. The NIR Act is set to bring about positive changes, opening doors for collaborative initiatives and infrastructure development.

The Negros Island Region Act signifies a fresh start for Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor, promising a brighter future through shared resources and coordinated efforts. As the region embarks on this new journey, the anticipation of a renewed sense of community and development looms large. The unity fostered by the NIR Act is not only a legislative accomplishment but a commitment to building a stronger, more connected region for the generations to come.
