The first organizational meeting for the hosting of Negros Island Region
Athletic Association (NIRAA) Meet led by Negros Occ. Schools Division
Superintendent Jose Freddie Mocon and Supt. Anthony H. Liobet was held
at the Provincial Capitol Social Hall, Bacolod City, yesterday.
NIRAA is slated February 8 to 12, 2016 with a total budget of P15.5 Million allotted for the operation of the said regional event.
Considered as the father of NIR, former DILG Sec. Mar Roxas was personally invited by Gov. Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. to give a message during the opening program; Usec. Reynaldo Antonio Laguda of the Dept. of Education is also expected to give his message.
The organizers have decided to adopt the Philippine Spotted Deer as the official mascot of NIRAA. It was also the official mascot during the Centennial Palaro and Millennium Palaro both hosted by the Province of Negros Occidental in 1998 and in year 2000, respectively.
Nicknamed “Alf”, the said spotted deer, whose scientific name is Cervus Alfredi can be found only in the Philippines and is endemic to the mountains of Negros and Panay, and considered as a reminder of Negros Occidental’s ongoing war to protect the environment.
The committees have already identified the schools in Bacolod City that will be the billeting quarters of the participants, as well as the playing venues.
The opening ceremonies will be held at the Pana-ad Park and Stadium in Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
The executive committee is headed by Gov. Marañon as the honorary chairman, and DepEd Regional Director Gilbert Sadsad as honorary co-chairman while Supt. Mocon is the executive director and Supt. Liobet as co-executive director.
The said meeting was attended by Schools Division Superintendents and Assistant Schools Division Superintendents as well Capitol division heads./Capitol News
