“There’s magic in Negros Island and Magic Island is the first step to its discovery.”
That was the promise of Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (Neg. Occ., 3 rd District) yesterday at the groundbreaking of the P600M Magic Island theme park in Barangay Guinhalaran, Silay City.
The theme park that is expected to boost the economy and tourism industry of Silay City and Negros Occidental will, hopefully, be ready for a soft opening by the summer of next year, he said.
