Metro Manilans who missed the recent Negros Trade Fair in Makati City or the ongoing MassKara Festival in Bacolod City will have another opportunity to experience the Negrense lifestyle at the First Namit Namit Food Festival on November 4 to 6 in Rockwell Center Makati.
Cinco de Noviembre commemorates the establishment of the short-lived Republic of Negros on November 5, 1898 following a bloodless revolution against the Spanish colonial regime. It is a special non-working holiday in the province of Negros Occidental by virtue of Republic Act No. 6709 signed by President Corazon Aquino on February 10, 1989.
Rockwell Center Bacolod is the newest mixed-used development of Rockwell Land Corp. with residential, retail, and office space components. The 30-hectare, master-planned community is rising along GM Cordova Avenue at Mandalagan near the Bacolod Airport Access Road.
