In his New Year’s message yesterday, Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon, Jr. called on provincial employees to work together for the “betterment of the province.”

“Let us continue to work together and unite,” he said.

For 2018, the governor said he plans to implement more programs under his Negros First Development Agenda; with priority projects including improved hospital operations, expanded scholarship programs for the children of provincial government employees, among others.

He added, “Let us continue to pray and thank God for the countless blessings that God has been giving our province.”

Marañon called Negros Occidental “one of the most progressive provinces in the country.”/DGB, WDJ
