Bayawan, Administrative division in Negros Oriental, Philippines
Bayawan extends over 699 square kilometers of land area along the Sulu Sea, making it the largest city in Negros Oriental province.
Spanish friars established the settlement as Tolong Nuevo in 1751, and the name changed to Bayawan in 1953 before gaining city status in December 2000.
The Minagahat language, native to Southern Negros communities, shapes the traditions and expressions of local residents through generations.
Regular bus services connect Bayawan to Dumaguete City with a three-hour journey, offering both air-conditioned and standard transportation options.
The local government divides the territory into three distinct zones: an urban center, suburban agro-industrial areas, and rural agricultural regions.
