 Negros Oriental Provincial Capitol |
 Dumaguete Cathedral |
| Written by the Provincial Administrator: The Provincial Capitol in Dumaguete City was built in 1924 during the American colonization of the Philippines. The Provincial Capitol houses the Governor's Office and other provincial government offices. Its architecture was patterned after the Capitol in the United States of America. The main body is Grecian, while the columns are Ionic. During this period of American occupation the colonizers hired the services of city planner and architect Daniel Hudson Burnham to design the new provincial capitol. Before it was located in what is now the Serafin Teves residence at the Rizal Boulevard. The Grecian style dominated American architecture during this period. It was the first truly national style in the United States, found in all regions of the country. The popularity of the style was due to the strong associations with classical tradition and democracy. It was very adaptable, and permeated all levels of building, form high to low. The Americans wanted to spread this type of style to its colonies. In Manila, similar buildings can be found like the Post Office, Department of Tourism and the National Museum. Other Provincial Capitols with similar architecture are Negros Occidental, Leyte and Cebu. The significance of this architecture is that it symbolizes strength and fortitude in which the government should always uphold. The white paint is a symbol of purity that should never be tarnished with scandal or war. All in all the Provincial Capitol Building is a living reminder of our colonial past that has brought to our shores the ideals of democracy. It is only fitting and ironic that the Americans honor their government buildings with architecture from Greece, the birthplace of democracy. Even thousands of years later when the first city-states were built in Athens, so to will their traditions remain alive half way around the world in a place called Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. |

Ethnic Origin of the People
When the Spanish explorers landed in Negros Oriental in 1565, they found natives who called the place “Buglas”, named after a kind of tall grass resembling the present-day sugar cane plant. Buglas grass was then abundantly growing in the island. The Spaniards encountered many black people with black kinky hair among the inhabitants, they called the island Negros. Kabilin, a book on provincial history, edited by Merlie Wenceslao and Bobby Villasis, mentions what seemed to be the first known documentary reference to the island of Negros appears in an atlas drawn in 1545 by the renowned Spanish cartographer Alonso de Santa Cruz (c.1490-1567). Santa Cruz’s map bears the legend y de Negros, probably derived from reports of the presence of small black people (negritos) on the island. Thus, a score of years before the Legaspi expedition, the Spaniards already knew the island of Negros by this name. At that time, there were two (2) types of forest dwellers, the black natives called Ata or Agta (Negrito) and the Proto-Malay also known as Bukidnon with dark brown skin.
Along the coastline dwelt the natives of Malayan heritage who were engaged in little agricultural activities and barter trading with the Chinese and other Asian merchants who came as early as the 13th century. Although no written documents have been found, artifacts and relics belonging to the Sung Dynasty period in the 12th century were excavated in the towns of Bacong, Bayawan (now Bayawan City) and La Libertad in Negros Oriental and Escalante in Negros Occidental. This indicates a flourishing trade and commerce with other neighboring countries such as China, India and the Malayan peninsula.

Economy of Negros Oriental, Philippines
Negros Oriental economy remains strong amid global economic recession
by Rachelle M. Nessia
Philippine Information Services
Dumaguete City (7 August 2009) -- The local economy in the province remains in good shape despite the global economic slowdown that has upset the national and international economies.
This was noted by Msgr. Merlin Logronio, president of the Negros Oriental Network of NGOs (non-government organizations) in a recent press conference as he pointed out that there are now more developments mushrooming in the province compared to the past.
"We can see more infrastructures and I can see changes and improvements even in the services in the province," said Msgr. Logronio.
Bert Aquino, Negornet Board Member, speaking in the same forum, explained that the global financial crisis has mostly affected economies that are export-led or import-dependent. "In Negros Oriental, you seldom see industries that are dependent on importation. Duna'y ginagmay pero dili kayo," he said.
Aquino said that the province's economy is very local and is anchored heavily on agricultural, establishments and the local government which is the biggest employer in the province.
Despite the province being seemingly impervious to the global financial crisis, there is still more that needs to be done, said Msgr. Logronio. "We still have a tremendous lack of resources. For example, I believe there are many schools being put up pero dili ra gyud ta kaapas," he explained.
In terms of employment or lack of it, he urged Negrenses to be resourceful and invent for themselves what they can do and be positive about it.
"Our population is growing rapidly that no good government can really keep up with it," he lamented.
He stressed that the government has been responsive and trying their best and "we give them credit for that but they cannot do everything."
He said that it is now up to the private sector to respond midway and organize themselves to respond to the global demands and changes affecting everyone. "I see so many opportunities for the local sector to continue improving our situation," he explained.
This was echoed by Aquino, who added that this is now the challenge of the local government officials – how to further strengthen the local economy "so we won't be vulnerable with whatever happens to the global economy."
Said press conference was held to announce Negornet's 17th anniversary and its 6th Annual NegOr NGO & PO (people's organizations) Week from August 3 to 8.
Negornet is composed of 25 NGOs and POs and was formed to serve as a mechanism in consolidating the NGOs and POs along local development and in facilitating meaningful participation in local governance.
Reports of higher government spending and continued resiliency of remittances are among the things that would prop-up the Philippine economy in the second quarter of this year.
Philippine Equity Partners Inc. (PEP) analyst Jojo Gonzales considers the 0.4 percent output of the domestic economy in the first quarter this year as the "worst quarter in terms of growth."
"Increased government spending, sustained bank lending, the bottoming out of trade, stable remittance flows, all suggest mildly better growth in (the) second quarter," he said.

Natural Resources of Negros Oriental, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.

DUMAGUETE CITY- The Little Children of the Philippines Foundations, Inc. (LCPFI) received a check worth P136,000 recently as financial assistance from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through its Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP).
DOST-Negros Oriental Prov’l Science & Technology Director Gilbert Arbon turned-over the check to LCPFI Administrative Director Carmenia Benosa.
According to DOST Information Officer Roslyn Tambago, the Foundation is one of the growing numbers of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Negros Oriental which have availed of the DOST-SETUP, a nationwide strategy to encourage and assist SMEs to adopt technological innovations to improve operations.
SETUP provides a package of technological assistance, which includes the infusion of new or advanced technologies, provision of limited funds for technology acquisition, human resource training, technical assistance, consultancy services, among others, said Tambago.
As a Christian organization with the mission to develop caring communities for children at risk, LCPFI has ventured into processed meat production as a micro-enterprise activity for children and parents who are living in a low-income community.
