Lacson said that this welcome development will undoubtedly lead to positive impacts on the maintenance of internal security, peace and order, environmental management, disaster risk reduction, tourism promotion, integrated development planning, and easier access to regional offices. Mayor Albee Benitez, in a statement, thanked the President for approving the long-awaited creation of the NIR and extended his heartfelt thanks to lawmakers and senators who supported the NIR bill.
The unity shown by Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, and Siquijor only emphasizes our commitment to quality and accessible public services for our constituents, Gasataya said in a Facebook post. He is hoping that the Department of Interior and Local Government will immediately convene the Technical Working Group that will iron out the institutional arrangements for the transition.
“Let us work as one people to facilitate an efficient transition and to integrate our mutual desire for a better region,” he said, as he lauded the people of NIR and every Filipino whose fervent prayers for true regional development and progress are now answered.
