President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (PGMA) had earlier declared every third Friday of October as an official non-working holiday for the province of Negros Oriental so its constituents can participate and enjoy the Buglasan festival. However, Governor-elect, Emilio Macias II, started holding consultations with various officials and other stakeholders in line with his plan for revisions in the holding of the annual Buglasan Festival in the province, with the possible outcome that the festival may be moved to the beginning of the calendar year (ie. early January). This decision will come by the beginning of July 2007.
