Negros Oriental, Province in southeastern Negros Island, Philippines
Negros Oriental spans across the southeastern portion of Negros Island, encompassing 557 barangays distributed among 19 municipalities and 6 cities.
The Spanish administration divided Negros Island into two provinces in 1890, establishing Dumaguete as the permanent capital of Negros Oriental.
The population of Negros Oriental maintains strong ties to Cebuano and Hiligaynon languages, reflecting the diverse linguistic heritage of the region.
The province connects its communities through an extensive network of roads, with Sibulan Airport and multiple seaports facilitating transportation to other regions.
The Buglasan Festival in October brings together all municipalities to present their local products through exhibitions and performances.
