Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas will be in Kabankalan City in Negros Occidental today to conduct an ocular inspection on the possible site for the regional center of the proposed Negros Island Region.
At the opening of the Panaad sa Negros Festival on April 13, Roxas announced that he had favorably endorsed the creation of a NIR to President Benigno Aquino.
Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. has asked the president to create the NIR through an executive order. The president, in turn, tasked Roxas to study the request and submit recommendations.

The road rehabilitation project now being implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways along Lacson-Burgos streets to the Reclamation Area in Brgy. 10, Bacolod City, is already 50 percent ahead of schedule, Bacolod Rep. Evelio Leonardia said during an ocular inspection of the area yesterday.
Leonardia said his office had requested the engineers and contractors to hasten the work on the two kilometer project before the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting on April 29 and 30.
This is part of the tourism convergence fund and the justification they gave for seeking it is that there is a port in the area, he said.
