Negros Island Region, Administrative region in Negros Island, Philippines
The Negros Island Region extends across 13,525 square kilometers, containing three provinces and featuring Mount Kanlaon at 2,465 meters elevation.
Spanish colonizers arrived in 1565 and named the territory Negros, replacing its original name Buglas, due to the native inhabitants' skin color.
The region maintains distinct linguistic patterns, with Hiligaynon speakers in the western areas and Cebuano speakers in the eastern territories.
Two major airports, Bacolod-Silay International and Dumaguete-Sibulan, connect the region to other parts of the Philippines through regular flights.
The region contains extensive sugar plantations that have shaped its economic development, with Bacolod City functioning as the primary commercial center.
