 NEGROS OCCIDENTAL / BACOLOD
TRAVEL TIPS & GENERAL INFORMATION
A Glimpse Of Negros Occidental
The coastline of Negros Occidental is more irregular than that of its sister province, Negros Oriental. The northern and western parts are largely level plains and gently rolling slopes while the remaining portion is particularly a land of sierras of varying elevations. Mt. Kanlaon, which rises to an elevation of about 8,100 feet, is the highest peak in the province, and is considered also be the highest in central Philippines. Other mountains are Mt. Mandalagan and Mt. Silay.

Across the Guimaras Strait from Iloilo is Negros Occidental, sugar capital of the Philippines. Bacolod, the province's capital city has three challenging golf courses, making it the golfing center in the Visayas.

Convention facilities are also available with the opening of the Bacolod Convention Plaza. And in October, the smiles of the people of Bacolod widen during the Masskara Festival. Masskara, meaning "many faces" was conceived to boost the local people's morale during the height of an economic depression which hit the province in 1980.0
