Philippines: Negros Oriental Provincial Profile
Negros Oriental - a laid back province situated in the southeastern portion of Negros Island, and Visayas. Surrounded on the north and west by its neighboring province,
Negros Occidental; the province is a breathtaking mix of culture and modernization. The province is divided from Cebu island by the Tañon Strait, Siquijor island and the
dive paradise if Apo island lay also to the east. The northern parts of Mindanao can be seen in good conditions from the the south of Negros Oriental. Originally called
Buglas, its name was changed by the Spaniards who colonized the country. Referring to the dark-skinned
natives that lived on the island, the Spaniards changed its name to Negros. At first, the province was part of 6 19 557
Cebu until it was turned into an independent military district in 1734. (Source: http://pia.gov.ph/provinces/ne-
