The Negros Island Region, abbreviated and officially designated as NIR,[2] is an administrative region in the Philippines. The first iteration of the region existed from May 29, 2015 to August 9, 2017, and comprised the provinces of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental, and the highly urbanized city of Bacolod, all of which are situated in the island of Negros.
The region was re-established on June 13, 2024, with the inclusion of Siquijor, an island province located southeast of Negros which was formerly part of Central Visayas.[3]
