Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon, Jr. said he plans to make Panaad sa Negros Festival booths open year-round. Traditionally, booths are only open during the annual celebration.

He said a formal proposal is planned for this year’s festival, which is set to take place from April 9 to 15.

The governor said he will request mayors across the province to prepare their respective presentations as permanent exhibits./DGB, WDJ
