The Coast Guard District Southern Visayas (CGDSV) will establish the Coast Guard Base Negros Island Region at a 10-hectare lot in Mabinay, Negros Oriental.
The said infrastructure plan was discussed during the Sangguniang Bayan Session on 13 January 2025.
The Mabinay local government unit was represented by officials during the discussions.
“Given that this proposed donation of the 10-hectare lot shall be granted by the Mabinay LGU, the groundbreaking of the new headquarters is anticipated in the coming months, ushering a new era of strengthened maritime governance in Southern Visayas,” the CGDSV said.
Officials discussed that the proposed land to be provided to the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will serve as the site for the district’s future headquarters, a key facility aimed at enhancing maritime safety and security in the region.
