Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson is still hoping that President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. will sign into a law the creation of the Negros Island Region despite the opposition of Dumaguete Bishop Julito Castro. Lacson expressed confidence on the efforts of Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and Senator JV Ejercito who went all out to have the NIR bill approved by the Senate.
' 'We will release a statement from leaders of the different sectors in the community. There is a strong opposition. I suppose our congressmen represent the voice of the people,' he said. Negros Occidental Sixth District Rep. Mercedes Alvarez said over the weekend that the NIR bill is up for transmittal to Malacañang next month for signing into a law by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
