Vallehermoso Negros Oriental

Vallehermoso is a town in the Negros Oriental province of the Philippines. It is located on the border of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental, which are the eastern and northwestern parts respectively of the island of Negros in the Central Visayas region. It is surrounded by three cities, San Carlos in the north, Guihulngan in the south and Canlaon in the east. The municipality of Vallehermoso is divided into fifteen barrios or barangays, which means village, district or ward, and is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines.

Brief History of Vallehermoso

The town was founded by Don Diego de la Viña y de la Rosa, a revolutionary and a local hero of Negros Oriental who was of Spanish-Chinese parentage. In 1881 he came from Negros Occidental looking for new land to occupy. He called the place “Valle hermoso” or beautiful valley when he first saw it from the top of a hill, and that was how the town got its name. The region, then called Bagawines, was the home of the unfriendly Bukidnons, an aboriginal tribe. Don Diego met their chief Ka Saniko and offered fine canes and other artifacts in exchange for land. Clearing the land with the help of some members of the tribe, Don Diego built his home, a casa tribunal, and a chapel. Within five years the valley became a hacienda where rice, corn, sugar cane tobacco, and coconut were grown. Don Diego continued to increase his estate until it stretched north to Macapso on the boundary of San Carlos, south to Mopolo on the boundary of Guihulngan and the slopes of Canlaon, where his horses and cattle grazed. He had a civilizing influence on the Bukidnons and inculcated in them a love of work and ideas about religion. Don Diego also built a road to Negros Occidental, which gave him access to take part in the historic revolt against the Spanish.

According to the census of 2010, Vallehermoso has a population of 36,943. Most of the people are farmers and fishermen while some work for the government or in private businesses. More than half have completed secondary schooling while many are professionally trained.
