Canlaon City - Century Tree Dalakit

Reviewed By Iluvtravellng88

Driving there, I got to take in view of the island I've never seen before. It was a clear day and we got to see some of the most beautiful landscapes of the island of Negros (Buglas in the native ati language) that I've ever seen. If you're going via private car, be sure to pull over to the side of the road at least once to take in the view of sloping foothills, valleys, mounds, and lowlands. We started from the city of Bacolod and got up to Canlaon City and had lunch there. Then proceeded along hilly, narrow, windy roads to get to the rice plantation that is the current home of this ancient tree. I read that Siliman University believes that this tree could be over 1000 years old. The roads can be rocky with trenches so if you're taking a sedan vehicle exercise extra caution. We took an AWD vehicle and still took it slow to be considerate of the villagers who walk along the streets, some carrying loads of harvested rice stalks. We visited in 2017, but I can only date this at Dec 2018 at the earliest.

Sisters of St Paul of Chartres Monument

Reviewed By ynadqnor - Manila, Philippines

The date was 29 October 1904 when a group of nuns known as Sisters of St Paul of Chartres from France came to Dumaguete on the invitation of Monsignor Frederick Rooker, the Bishop of Jaro Iloilo, another province in the Visayan region, to help in the education of the local townsfolk. It was a very noble task even to this day to render services to a foreign land. This sisters were dedicated to care for the sick and underprivileged. This undertaking was immortalized in this monument located in Rizal Boulevard.
