Negros Occidental, Province in Western Visayas, Philippines
Negros Occidental occupies the northwestern portion of Negros Island, covering 7,802 square kilometers of land with mountains, valleys, and coastal plains.
The Spanish colonizers named the island Negros in 1565, establishing the first capital in Ilog before transferring it to Himamaylan and finally Bacolod in 1849.
The MassKara Festival in October fills the streets of Bacolod City with dancers wearing decorated masks, performing to Latin music and drum beats.
Visitors can reach Negros Occidental through Bacolod-Silay Airport, which operates daily flights connecting to Manila and other Philippine cities.
The province generates over half of the Philippines' sugar production, with extensive plantations covering the fertile volcanic soil around Mount Kanlaon.
