Five thousand more jobs may be available in Bacolod City next year.

The jobs are expected with the start of construction by AyalaLand Inc. on property it is set to lease from the Negros Occidental provincial government, the expansion of the SM Mall, which includes a convention center, and the opening of the Negros First CyberCentre in Bacolod City, Metro Bacolod Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, Frank Carbon, said yesterday.
