"There is a very big chance it (NIR) will be abolished because of the budget constraint," report said.
Presidential Assistance for the Visayas Michael Lloyd Dino told reporters after a public hearing of the House committee. Upon the recommendation of the Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II, President Benigno Aquino III created the NIR through Executive Order No. 183 on May 29,2015, to place the two provinces in Negros Island under the same region.
Dino said that its not too late for President Duterte to revoke the EO. "The conversion to Negros Island Region hasn't been fully implemented yet, so it's not too late for the President to revoke the EO," He said.
The estimated budget for a new region like the NIR would cost the government around P19 billion.
