Until we can consolidate, I can put it all together properly, and right now hindi pa ganun,” he added.The NIR Act will split regional offices between Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental allowing the creation of new growth areas which is expected to contribute to the region’s ease of doing business by empowering residents and instilling investor confidence in its capacity to facilitate efficient government transactions.In March, the Senate approved the measure on its third and final reading.
