NOCCI lauds PPA for NIR request on proposed Bacong, Negros Oriental port facility

DUMAGUETE CITY, Dec. 20 (PNA) -- The multi-awarded Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NOCCI) lauded and commended the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA)-Dumaguete Port Management Office (PMO) headed by Port Manager Atty. Sarah Mijares for its swift and immediate action on the request of the Negros Island Regional Development Council (NI-RDC) for the conduct of a preliminary feasibility study on the proposed seaport in Bacong, Negros Oriental.

The proposed seaport aims to address the growing volume of domestic and international cargoes in the province of Negros Oriental.

It is also expected to boost employment in the municipality and other areas outside of Bacong.

NOCCI president Edward Du, in a statement Tuesday, thanked the PPA officials for supporting NOCCI's advocacy for a new seaport in the municipality of Bacong given its strategic location and as part of the booming Metro Dumaguete economic growth corridor.

The proposed Bacong seaport will also complement the proposed immediate relocation of the Sibulan airport to Bacong, Du said.

NOCCI is also pushing for the immediate endorsement of the Bacong airport feasibility study to NEDA for possible funding in 2018 by the national government.

“These two major infrastructure projects when completed will surely boost trade, investments & tourism in Negros Oriental”, Du added.

Du was recently elected as Chairman of the Negros Island Economic Development Committee and is also the incumbent co-chair of the Negros Oriental Provincial MSMED Council.

NOCCI recently won the 2016 Most Outstanding Chamber of Commerce Award in Asia and Pacific in Taipeh, Taiwan and will vie for the 2017 World Chamber Award in Sydney, Australia.

Just recently, the Negros Island regional development council (RDC) passed Resolution No. 20, series of 2016, requesting the PPA to conduct a feasibility study on the proposed seaport in Bacong. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
