May 28, 2009 by Negros Occidental
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Negros Occidental passed a resolution yesterday naming the Municipality of Don Salvador Benedicto sa the Summer Capital of Negros Occidental. Said resolution was authored by Board Member Nehemias de La Cruz, former Mayor of Don Salvador Benedicto.
Don Salvador Benedicto (DSB) is locally known as the “Little Baguio” of Negros Occidental because of its cool climate. This is also the reason why flowers, fruits and vegetables that thrive in cool climate are abundant in DSB. The town also boasts of chocolate hills, rice terraces, waterfalls and caves.
The potential of DSB for tourism development also hinges on its location. It is around 47km from Bacolod City along the well-maintained zigzag road of Negros Translink Ecotourism Highway. Most people going to San Carlos City prefer this route to save time and because of the scenic view which make traveling enjoyable.

hay…i hope they will transform DSB and make it more interesting…much like baguio. para damo tourists.
Its great to hear and see the transformation of once lonely and far away municipalities into bustling tourist destinations…
BUT… these transformations come with a heavy price… And the environment is usually the …. VICTIM..
I hope the local governement officials prioritize more on the environmental aspects over the financial rewards…
