Foreigners to help The Oriental Negros government is considering tapping the expertise of some foreign residents in the province to help in the development of the place. Gov. George Arnaiz said he is now organizing foreigners living in the province, either permanently or temporarily. He said that, in many gatherings where he met them, these foreigners signified their intention to help his administration. "We can tap their expertise, for example, in tourism, peace and
order, environment and others," Arnaiz said. . |
