Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson and Hinigaran Mayor Nadie Arceo led the inauguration of the 24-room three-story Hinugyaw Inn in Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, Friday morning, March 1.
The facility that is fully managed by the local government of Hinigaran is geared towards boosting the local economy and tourism, a press release from the provincial government information office said.
It’s an elevator-equipped building with function rooms and a convenience store on the ground floor.
The activity started with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and blessing of the building, followed by a short program.
Lacson said that the inauguration and blessing of Hinugyaw Inn represents a significant step forward in the collective aspiration for the advancement and progress of Hinigaran.
“As governor, I earnestly hope that Hinugyaw Inn will be an exemplar of our famed Negrense hospitality and grace, not just to tourists and guests, but to the locals as well,” Lacson said.
“I extend my congratulations to the municipality and the people of Hinigaran, under the dynamic leadership of Mayor Nadie Arceo, Vice Mayor Mary Grace Arceo, and the entire Sanggunian, on this new development in the Hinigaran Economic-Tourism industry,” he added.*
