In my opinion, Regional Center would be Bacolod followed by the 3 sattelite offices in Dumaguete, Kabankalan and Cadiz or Sagay

[@eagleeyes9112]

Ms. Shawn Yao, you have the habit of undermining the questions asked by Ms. Gretchen Ho. Why not let the guest answer first and ask your own question later. Just a suggestion.

[@lorrainev.7636]

It was Executive Order 183 of Noy Aquino, merging 2 Negros provinces into one region. Then it was revoked by Duterte, punyemas na dmonyong yan, now made into law by PBBM

[@Norms398]

Binaboy kasi ni duterte ang Pilipinas.

[@erlsonarreola3813]

Accla, alamin mo kasi kung bakit. Ano sa tingin mo trip lang ni Duterte? Lol

[@kennethgajilomo-3007]

Mabinay kabankalan border regional main office.

[@leovaldez5017]

Yes it will be the site most of offices. Salamat sa imo kasimanwa nga palangga ni Guia Gomez. Ang bulig nio ni migz zubiri indi gid malipatan sang taga bag-o nga rehiyon sang NIR + Siquijor

[@aspirepolitico724]

Next would be Samar Administrative Region.

[@33jufran]

Kabankalan City of Negros Occidental and Municipality of Mabinay in Negros Oriental - will be joint Regional Centre... While transitioning - Bacolod and Dumaguete

[@lloydbulabon7511]

Welcome news for us Negrenses. For sure there are pros and cons to this new enactment but bottomline it does make a lot of sense for one island to be part of one region. Plus siquijor being much closer to Dumaguete.

[@zheakatemercader6728]

Ingit kyo,yong ugali Ng Filipino hndi na wwala sa pgka ingitiro

[@eddiecharles6457]

Region VII - Central Visayas will then have only 2 provinces. Cebu and Bohol. Will they rename it to the CeBoo Region?

[@sensitivityzero]

Cebboh 😂

[@revinhatol]

"Sugbuol" with be finer.

[@morrelmanalo8922]

BuHol, CeBo

[@dr.kwik2x537]

Sugbohol😂😂😂

[@SusieSayre]

No! Mas madali kami makarating sa Cebu kaysa Bacolod. More alternatives in travelling. We prefer to be with region 7. Bakit hindi kami kinunsulta? KAMI ANG APEKTADO.

[@alchristselim2777]

JV, did you consider the more than 100k residents of Siquijor? This is an isolated island as well and Cebu is nearest to the island.

[@olebadajit3210]

Siquijor has a long history of attachment to Negros Oriental being a sub province of the latter before it became a separate province. Besides, Siquijor is nearer Dumaguete than Cebu.

[@user-cq7ni7oq2c]

MEMA KA LANG. MAS MAY HISTORY ANG SIQUIJOR SA NEGROS. TINGIN MO DI NILA YAN CNONSIDER

[@naniwa111]

Negros is closer to Siquijor. Siquijor was part of Negros before it became a province. And yes, Siquijor ang nagrequest na gusto nilang sumali.

[@elmercelo9357]

NIR deserves to be a separate province. We love our Negros Oriental brothers, we love Dumaguete & Bacolod Cities.

[@alchristselim2777]

@@naniwa111 NO. Let me correct that. Not a single consultation or referendum was carried out here in Siquijor for the passage of NIR Act. Only Dumaguete is closer to Siquijor. The proposed regional capital is of course Bacolod since it is an HUC. That's an 8-hour land trip from Siquijor. Not to mention the language barrier and cultural differences.

[@Robert-kb2uq]

Wow galing pala ni Sen. JV Ejercito.....Dati kasi ayaw ko sa mga Estrada eh, Ngayon okay ako kay JV Ejercito boboto ko ito.

[@francisthegreat4064]

Sunod diyan eh Samar Island Region at Leyte Island Region.

[@CherryCHEAYTam]

No need na. Iisang region na ang Samar at Leyte.

[@francisthegreat4064]

@@CherryCHEAYTam Eh balak nga raw na ipaghiwalay ang Samar at Leyte eh anong magsagawa mo?

[@nicarternuique1473]

Ang dialect ng oriental, at occidental pag isahin din

[@naniwa111]

No need. Hindi Iloilo ang Negros Occidental, Cebuano language is the second dominant language of Negros Occidental and Hiligaynon is the second dominant language of Negros Oriental.

[@CherryCHEAYTam]

no need na. Nagkakaintindihan ang mga yan kahit magkaiba ang lenggwahe.

[@vernonchristianmarquez5664]

no need

[@majeddomero5533]

no language issue within the island, hilagaynon, visayan etc, no language barrier at all.

[@bertcarpenters6842]

Hiligayanon naka intindi ng bisaya then ang bisaya naka intindi hiligaynon no need nah same culture namn connected nann sila

[@angelocadena7094]

So indi na western visayas? Kag central visayas? Ok. How about ang dialect nga gap? Negrense and Negrosanons are hiligaynon speaking, and oriental are Cebuano speakers.

[@THEPRO562]

Being from Bacolod both Hiligaynon and Cebuano speakers here can understand each other fine. Also, Negros Occidental has areas that are primarily speaking in Cebuano and there are no big issues stemming from this type of concern.

[@yarvf6438]

NIR na gne..pano nga language gap..?issue na bala sang'una nga ang mga taga'north sang negr0s mga bisaya ang m0ther t0ngue magpr0cess sa ilo2x..?wla lab0t sang expenses pakadt0 pakari..

[@user-tl4em1ll1j]

Then, how about Antique (Kinaray-a) and Aklan (Akeanon) in Western Visayas? Language isn't a big concern.

[@jerrycrus]

Lol karay a can speak hiligaynon very well .

[@user-tl4em1ll1j]

@@jerrycrus my point was, if the language was the problem then how did Karay-a's, Akeanon's, and Hiligaynon's go well despite the language barrier?

Politics... gusto ma leader lahat, ma extend and term nla

[@ro5marinu5]

Thank you, Sen. JV. I’m sure your mom (who originally came from Bacolod) is happy and proud of your part in the making of NIR.

[@EMcC-pr6zx]

Bacolod city will be the regional capital, the new kid in town

[@liamgekzua477]

Mas maunlad ang Bacolod City at maraming cities ang occidental..Lugi dito Ang occidental..dpt lahat ng mga offices nsa occidental Hindi sa oriental

[@liamgekzua477]

Kid ka ngyn

[@victorsolongon848]

Dalawa ata office bacolod at dumaguete i think.​@@liamgekzua477

[@olebadajit3210]

There is already an understanding that both Bacolod and Dumaguete Cities will divide among the two cities the regional offices. Bacolod will host DA, DAR, DENR, DSWD, DOH, DND, DHSUD, PNP while Dumaguete will host DOF, DBM, NEDA, DTI, DEPED, DPWH, DOT, TESDA, CHED, COMELEC. If we are to look at how it is distributed, Negros Oriental is at an advantage here because all those agencies that support economic activities are with them.

[@EMcC-pr6zx]

It’s time for San Miguel Corp to pursue an expressway project between two provincial capital, less than 3 hrs drive

[@dr.kwik2x537]

Sugbohol na susunod😂😂😂

[@liamgekzua477]

Di mgkasundo ang ilonggo at cebuano .ang occidental ilonggo at oriental mga Cebuano..lagi dati ng babangayan yan ..

.kaya pala d k0 maintindihan ang sarili ko c0z i can speak and understand both language😅😅

[@olebadajit3210]

False. MAs matindinang bangayan between Bacolod and Iloilo cities. Punta ka sa mga forums at makikita mo na matindi ang payabangan kung sino ang mas maunlad😂

[@vaccinationpcralain2215]

Pinag sasabi mo language gap.. how about region 3 central luzon with Bataan tagalog.. pampanga kapangpangan.. zambalez sambal.. isama mo pa tarlac ilocano.. yan ang language gap. Pero wala nmn naging problema.. ikaw may poblema

[@meriamrodriguez7200]

NO WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED, you guys giving us hard times to belong to other people… this GOVERNMENT IS REALLY MARTIAL LAW WE DON’t need BACOLOD TO BE OUR HOME CITY.. WE ARE HAPPY AS ANOTHER PROVINCE AT ORIENTAL

[@liamgekzua477]

Mas Lugi ang occidental at Bacolod .mas maraming cities ang occidental kysa oriental...mas maunlad ang occidental..

[@noseenowseenow]

Tanongin nyo governors and congressmans nyo dyan..madaling magsabi martial law...tsk tsk..nako naman

[@richieliper4720]

Tama naman. Yung mga taga negros di na kailangan magpunta sa Iloilo para mag transact sa regional offices doon.

[@richieliper4720]

Ano kaya ang maging official central city ng Negros Island? Either Bacolod or Dumaguete. Or sa gitna ang Kabankalan na.
