BACOLOD CITY, June 16 (PNA) -- The Negros Island Region-Technical Working Group (NIR-TWG) will hold its first meeting on June 19 at the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) central office in Quezon City.
DILG Undersecretary Austere Panadero, in a letter to Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. dated June 11, said they are constrained to move the date of the meeting from June 15 to June 19 in view of the work demands where DILG is involved.

Marañon said the advance party, including former governor-now Capitol consultant Rafael Coscolluela and assistant provincial legal officer Mary Ann Manayon-Lamis, attended Tuesday’s meeting.
The TWG will finalize the draft on the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the newly-created region.
The chairmanships of the Negros Island Regional Development Council, Negros Island Peace and Order Council and the Negros Island Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council will also be discussed.
