Farm to market roads,  sport facilities  and the Mambukal Resort and  Wildlife Sanctuary will be among the priorities of the Negros Occidental provincial government  that will have a  budget of close to  P6 billion next year, Gov.  Eugenio Jose Lacson said on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

The Negros Occidental provincial government’s 2025 National Tax Allotment will be P5,823,485,130 or an increase by P918,771,586,

Many local government units are asking for more farm to market roads, the governor said.

Lacson also said that after the successful installation of a rubberized track oval at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City followed by La Carlota City, next year they will also install one in Manapla.

Talisay and Bago cities are also requesting for rubberized track ovals, he added.

He said the installation of such   facilities are geared towards strengthening Negros Occidental’s sports program.

The governor also said he wants to focus on the improvement of the Mambukal Resort in Murcia over the renovation of the Paglaum Sports Complex in Bacolod City.

As far as the Pagalum in concerned they will just make sure it is safe to use, he said.

Lacson said he has already granted the Yuhum Foundation permission to use the Paglaum for the MassKara Festival in October.

The governor also said the successful bidding of the bulk water supply project of the provincial government will be a game changer for  Negros Occidental as far as water security is concerned.*
