NIR to usher in development –Ejercito

June 14, 2024

The creation of the Negros Island Region (NIR), a milestone marked by the recent signing of Republic Act No. 12000, is set to revolutionize business and service delivery across the provinces under its jurisdiction, Senator Joseph Victor Ejercito said on Friday.

“I think it will ease doing business because people who want to invest in sugar mills or agriculture in Negros Occidental will no longer have to travel to Iloilo by ferry for permits and other requirements,” said Ejercito, author and sponsor of the law.
