LAST Nov. 5, the first coffee-table book about the province of Negros Occidental was launched online in celebration of Cinco de Noviembre, a special non-working holiday in Bacolod City and the rest of Sugarlandia. By virtue of Republic Act No. 6709 enacted in 1989, the holiday pays tribute to the Negrense heroes who revolted against Spain in 1898.
