Executive Order 183
On May 29, 2015, President Benigno Aquino III signed
Executive Order 183 creating the Negros Island Region (NIR).
Negros Occidental was carved from Region VI (Western
Visayas), and Negros Oriental from Region VII (Central Visayas)
to form the new region. Its regional center will be determined
by a technical working group.
An idea 20 years in the making, the Negros Island Region
was created "to further accelerate the social and economic
development of the cities and municipalities comprising the
provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental and
improve the delivery of public services in the aforementioned
provinces."
What is a region?
Regions are administrative divisions that serve primarily to
organize the provinces (lalawigan) of the country for administrative
convenience. Currently, the archipelagic republic of the Philippines
is divided into 18 regions. Most government offices are established
by region instead of individual provincial offices, usually (but not
always) in the city designated as the regional center.
The regions themselves do not possess a separate local
government, with the exception of the Autonomous Region in
Muslim Mindanao, which has an elected regional assembly and
governor. The Cordillera Administrative Region was originally
intended to be autonomous (Cordillera Autonomous Region), but
the failure of two plebiscites for its establishment reduced it to a
regular administrative region.
A province is a political unit created by law under
R.A. 7160. It is a PUBLIC CORPORATION, vested
with the power to administer and govern its political
unit subject to limitations imposed by the
constitution and existing laws.
What is a province?
Q: What is a public corporation?
A: It is one created by the State either by
general or special act for purposes of
administration of local government or
rendering service in the public interest.
(Rodriguez, p. 2, LGC 5th Edition)
Q: Distinguish public corporation from private corporation.
A:
PUBLIC CORPORATION PRIVATE CORPORATION
Purpose

Q: What is the criterion to determine whether a corporation
is a public corporation?
By the relationship of the corporation to the state; if created
by the State as its own agency to help it in carrying out its
governmental functions, it is public, otherwise, it is private.
Q: What are the dual characteristics of a public
corporation?
A:
1. Public or governmental – acts as an agent of the State for
the government of the territory and its inhabitants.
2. Private or proprietary – acts as an agent of the
community in the administration of local affairs. As such, it
acts as separate entity for its own purposes, and not a
subdivision of the State. (Bara Lidasan vs. COMELEC G.R.
No. L‐28089, October 25, 1967 citing McQuillin, Municipal
Corporations, 3d ed., pp. 456‐464)
Q:What are the classes of corporations?
A:
1.Quasi Public corporations. public corporations created as
agencies of the State for narrow and limited purposes without
the powers and liabilities of self]governing corporations.
2.Municipal Corporations. body politic and corporate
constituted by the incorporation of inhabitants for purposes of
local government. It is established by law partly as an agency of
the State to assist in the civil government of the country, but
chiefly to regulate and administer the local or internal affairs of
the city, town or district which is incorporated. (Dillon,
Municipal Corporations, Vol.2, pp. 58]59.)
Q: What are the essential elements of a municipal
corporation?
A:
1.Legal creation
2.Corporate name
3.Inhabitants constituting the population who are vested
with political and corporate powers
4. Territory (Rodriguez, p.4, LGC 5th Edition)
Note: The Sangguniang Panlalawigan may, in
consultation with the Philippine Historical Commission
change the name of component citiesand municipalities,
upon the recommendation of the sangguniang concerned
provided that the same shall be effective only upon
ratification in a plebiscite conducted for the purpose in
the political unit directly affected. (R.A. 7160, Sec. 13)
Q: What is the rule relative to the merger and division of local
government units?
A:
1.Such division or merger shall not reduce the income,
population or land area of the LGC concerned to less than the
minimum requirement
2. That the income classification of the original LGU/s shall
not fall below its current income classification prior to the
division
3. A plebiscite must be held in LGUs affected
4. Assets and liabilities of creation shall be equitably
distributed between the LGUs affected and new LGU
Q:
What are the requisites or limitations imposed on the
creation or conversion of municipal corporations?
A:
1. Plebiscite requirement – must be approved by majority
of the votes cast in a plebiscite called for such purpose in
the political unit or units directly affected.
Note: The plebiscite must be participated in by the
residents of the mother province in order to conform to
the constitutional requirement.
2. Income requirement – must be sufficient on
acceptable standards to provide for all essential
government facilities and services and special
functions commensurate with the size of its

to handle the transition process. It is composed of the Office
of the President, the Department of Budget and
Management, the National Economic Development
Authority (NEDA), the Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG), and representatives from the two
Negros provinces.
The TWG will draw up a roadmap for "institutional
arrangements" for the new region, and will recommend the
preferred regional center. It will also arrange for
organizational development, staffing, and budgeting of
regional line agencies and regulatory agencies.
The following regional councils were also created for the NIR, with the
following agencies as interim secretariats:
Negros Island Development Council - with NEDA as Secretariat

One island region

  • 1. Executive Order 183 On May 29, 2015, President Benigno Aquino III signed Executive Order 183 creating the Negros Island Region (NIR). Negros Occidental was carved from Region VI (Western Visayas), and Negros Oriental from Region VII (Central Visayas) to form the new region. Its regional center will be determined by a technical working group. An idea 20 years in the making, the Negros Island Region was created "to further accelerate the social and economic development of the cities and municipalities comprising the provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental and improve the delivery of public services in the aforementioned provinces."
  • 2. What is a region? Regions are administrative divisions that serve primarily to organize the provinces (lalawigan) of the country for administrative convenience. Currently, the archipelagic republic of the Philippines is divided into 18 regions. Most government offices are established by region instead of individual provincial offices, usually (but not always) in the city designated as the regional center. The regions themselves do not possess a separate local government, with the exception of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which has an elected regional assembly and governor. The Cordillera Administrative Region was originally intended to be autonomous (Cordillera Autonomous Region), but the failure of two plebiscites for its establishment reduced it to a regular administrative region.
