00:00PTV Balita is back. President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. passed a law that will establish the Negros Island Region.
00:13According to the new law, the Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and Siquijor are only in one region.
00:21Because of this, it is expected that the distribution of services and the strengthening of socio-economic growth in the region will be easier.
00:31Meanwhile, the President also signed the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Report Act that will improve the tax collection system's revenue of the country.
00:43The new Negros Island Region will be a bulwark of greater growth as well as a conduit for more effective and efficient delivery of essential services in the region.
00:54We envision as well the NIR as one of the centers of development in the Visayas, further accelerating socio-economic development for the millions of Negrenses and providing strategic convergence regarding resources, investments and economic plan.
01:11Indeed, in unity there is always strength and that is what we are building.
01:16And I trust that the people of the newly established Negros Island Region will work together to complement each other's strengths to build a more united and flourishing Negrense community.
01:30The Department of Foreign Affairs also added the requirement for Chinese nationals who are applying for a Temporary Visitor's Visa.
01:39According to the DFA, the Chinese nationals who are applying for a 9A Temporary Visitor's Visa in the Philippine Foreign Service Post should submit a Chinese Social Insurance Record Certificate.
01:54It should also be valid within 6 months after passing the Temporary Visitor's Visa Application.
02:00The Chinese nationals who are currently enrolled in Primary, Secondary and College Education are exempted from the new requirement.
02:10However, they still need to submit a Proof of Enrollment.
02:17Meanwhile, let's find out the other news from Julius Pacot of PTV Davao.
02:23Recently, the Organic Agriculture Livelihood Project was handed over to the Department of Agriculture Caraga.

03:06led by the Agricultural Trading Institute.
03:08The programs and knowledge are based on organic agriculture and support,
03:13along with the implementation of business plans for the beneficiaries.
03:17In addition, explosive ordnance disposal and canine groups were handed over to the Agusan Police Provincial Office
03:27as a donation to the U.S. Department of State Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program.
03:33This program will help the police to increase their capacity in responding to incidents.
03:40On June 10, a demonstration will be held to show the police in Agusan del Sur
03:46how to detect explosives using a police service dog and a modern EOD robot.
