The two top provincial officials of Negros are on opposite sides on moves to reestablish the Negros Island Region.

Degamo, who attended online the Regional Development Council in Central Visayas meeting in Cebu City on Tuesday, cited cultural differences between Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental as among the reasons why the NIR should not be brought back.

Sought for comment on the issue, Bohol Gov. Aris Aumentado, RDC chair, said the council would not take a position yet on the creation of the NIR.Aumentado said the NIR might be difficult to realize now since Degamo already expressed his opposition to the matter.“If they do not want to unify under the NIR, then who are we to say and push for it when those involved are not interested,” he said.

“We also believe that this will also be the way to make the region more vibrant,” he said in a statement sent to Inquirer.
