MAGIC Island is in Silay. This will be an island within an island (Negros Island Region). This will add flavor to our province, “land of sweet surprises… and more magic.” People living in the island will be magical (not magicians). There will be magic for tourism, investments, trade, commerce and industry. Welcome to Magic Island!

NEGROS Occidental Third District Representative Alfredo Benitez Sunday, April 2, said the postponement of the barangay elections set in October is 90 percent likely.
The issue on who will appoint the new set of barangay officials will take a little bit of discussion, he said.
“There are several groups that don’t feel easy about appointing public officials. The first question is who will appoint? If the president will appoint, he doesn't know all the barangay officials so he will need recommendations and who will do that,” Benitez said.
