This is a celebration that unites the people all over the stretched region of the Negros Island. Aside from watching the grandest events of Buglasan Festival, other great festivals can also be seen though out the year. From the north of Canlaon to the south of Basay, festivals are the essential celebrations that we Filipinos carry out through different generations. An annual fiesta is held each year on September 10 in honor of the city's patron saint San Nicolás de Tolentino, a celebration inherited from the Spanish era. On this occasion, most of the residents prepare food for anyone who visits - a tradition practiced not only in Bais but also in most towns and cities in the Philippines. Lately, the celebration has included mardigras and parades. Seventy-three percent of the city's total land area is devoted to agriculture and the local economy is dominated by agricultural activities and output. The existing urban area in the city covers only 109.12 hectares. Sugar is the major commercial crop in the city. About 36% of the city's agricultural land is planted in sugarcane, yielding 1.16 million gross kilograms annually for the domestic and foreign markets. Bais City is also home to two sugar mills or centrals: Central Azucarera de Bais and URSUMCO. Fish production is the city's second income earner, with about 428 hectares of the land area devoted to fishpond development and operation and fish culture. Bangus (milkfish) culture is the dominant activity. In 2000, the bangus yield in the city was at 722 tons. The government of Bais City operates ecotourism activities in the city, highlighted by whale and dolphin watching and nature treks. Two annual Bais City festivals have also become tourism events: the Hudyaka sa Bais Mardigras (which was changed to Sipong Festival and later on changed back to Hudyaka) and the Christmas Festival (which showcases the city's, perhaps the province's only, giant rotating Christmas tree and colorful decors) since 1950. A concern of the city is its liquid and solid waste management. At present, liquid wastes are emptied directly without treatment into the Bais basin. The current dump site for solid waste is due for closure, and site development for a new 12.5-hectare sanitary landfill is being finalized. Bais is reported to be the last stronghold of the Spanish language in the Philippines, since some of the Spaniards are in the first settlement area of Negros, (and southeast of Bais) Tanjay. Hudyaka Festival is a celebration of thanksgiving to the patron saint of Bais City. With colorful costumes and lively music the streets are easly filled with audience both locals and guests. The Buglasan Festival of Festivals, which includes a grand showdown and a street dancing competition, is the province’s premier showcase of the socio-cultural heritage and uniqueness of each town and city in Negros Oriental and is held every October CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook -- Liquid Chef https://www.facebook.com/2strive.4greatness Intagram -- LiquidChef Productions https://www.instagram.com/liquidchefproductions/ Facebook Page: Liquid Chef Bar Services https://www.facebook.com/liquidchefTV/ Other Youtube Channel -- LiquidChef Vlogs Credits & Special Thanks to: Mr. Carrey Catan Aguilar https://www.facebook.com/carrey.aguilar.5 Pamplona Photographers Club https://www.facebook.com/ArribaPamplona/ Visit their page for Bookings and Inquiries!
