Negros Oriental

Comprise 5,401 square kilometers of Negros Island's southeastern section, in the midpoint of the Central Visayas. Its capital, Dumaguete City, is popularly known as "The City of Gentle People!" It is a one-hour flight of 384 aerial miles south of Manila, 30 minutes from Cebu. Major passenger ships call regularly from most cities of the country.

The Provincial Capitol Dumaguete City was built in 1924. 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. The first Provincial Capitol was an old residential house in the waterfront area of the city and was brought by the Provincial government in 1907.

Today, the Capitol stands as a picturesque site, fronting the beautifully shaded and landscaped gardens of the Freedom Park, lined with acacia trees and flowers. Nearby are three tennis courts, the Benigno Aquino Stage, and a fountain.
