Negros Occidental will be celebrating the 112th Cinco de Noviembre this year and there will be a lot of activities in celebration of what is known as Negros Day. It’s also a non-working holiday in Negros Occidental so it will also be a good time to reacquaint ourselves with what the Negros Revolution is all about through the various festivals and cultural activities.
