The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) proudly conducted the first Regional Mid-Year Performance Review under the newly formed Negros Island Region (NIR) from 14-16 July 2025, showing a united effort to improve statistical work in the region.

The three-day event served as a platform for assessing the first-semester accomplishments for the year 2025, addressing challenges in field operations, and realigning goals for the remaining months of the year. It gathered PSA personnel from provincial and regional offices within the NIR to engage in data-driven discussions, performance monitoring, and planning workshops.

Interim Regional Director John F. Campomanes and the key officials emphasized the importance of collaboration and innovation in achieving the agency’s targets amidst evolving statistical demands. Presentations, group discussions, and feedback sessions helped participants share ideas and learn from each other.

On the third and final day of the activity, it concluded with a Lakbay-Aral. It is a cultural and historical tour across Isla del Fuego (Siquijor), which allowed participants to explore and visit the province’s famed and iconic historical landmarks and local heritage. The tour offered a refreshing and educational break from formal sessions, with participants enthusiastically learning about the island’s unique stories and significance in Philippine history.

PSA Siquijor proudly prepared and hosted the region’s first mid-year review, fully aware of the responsibility it carried. The activity highlighted PSA’s strong commitment to performance excellence and respect for regional identity and culture. Its success sets a positive tone for future initiatives under the Negros Island Region.
