Senior San Antonio de Padua Church
Situated in the town center of Sibulan in Negros Oriental, the simplistic-looking San Antonio de Padua Church welcomes the tourists to the small and peaceful municipality.
The Lake Balinsasayao
The Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao is also the habitat of many birds and animals, some of which are also rare. Activities include swimming, fishing, boating, trekking and kayaking. There is a clean restroom and a small canteen selling beverages and light snacks
The area is surrounded by lush tropical greens and vegetation. Age old trees, giant ferns and other exotic plants and orchids are among its natural inhabitants. Wild rare vines freely cling to the barks of the trees. The Almagica Tree, the tallest tree of the Philippines growing up to 60 meters tall, can still be found here. It is also the habitat of many rare species like the Japanese Night Heron whose presence in the vicinity was recorded in the 1970s. The dipterocarp forest is rich in bird life.
The lake is teeming with fish making it an ideal fishing ground. The calm waters also make it perfect for swimming, boating and kayaking or just sitting under one of the small huts to take in the view and the fresh mountain air. Most people bring their own packed meals for a lunch picnic in one of the cottages that may be rented. There is a canteen selling drinks, bottled water and light snacks. A small restroom is also available.
In recent years, there has been a threat by the local cut and burn farmers known as kaingeros. Uncontrolled cutting of timber in the Balinsasayao area has resulted to a reduction of the inflow of water to the lake which has in turn, caused a fall in its water level.
