Difference between revisions of "History of Negros Oriental"

In 1924, Hon. Herminigildo Villanueva was elected Governor and a Capitol Building was erected.  The province experienced real war in a grand scale when World War II broke out in December 1941.  The war, aside from the physical devastation wrecked throughout the province, also left painful scars, which up to this date remain unhealed.  But the people came out stronger and more determined.  However, the people found out that the political independence they gained did not equate economic independence and self-sufficiency.  The struggle for the improvement of the quality of life still remains a quest for every Negrense along with the rest of the Filipino nation.  Ninety years after 1901, the Local Government Code of 1991 (LGC) was made into law and took effect on January 1, 1992.  With the advent of the LGC, a new era in local government finance and administration of reelectionist Governor Emilio C. Macias II spearheaded Negros Oriental in the development of the ‘90s.
