Last December I had the chance to attend the Annual Cultural Tour of Negros Occidental (ACTNO) for the third time in 15 years, the longest-running cultural tour in the world now on its 38th year. Originally a one-shot deal as part of Ramon H. Hofilena's art promotions, public demand has made an institution. A sincere public service, passengers are charged at cost without profit. Its itinerary is slightly changed annually, and each tour introduces new attraction.

Tourist and Tourism Students taking up Tour Guiding and Heritage Class were able to experience a visit to museums, heritage houses, religious places of interest in Northern Negros.
The guide is Mr. Ramon Hofilena, @ 77 he may be the oldest tour guide in the country, yet he is one of the respected guides who has made a difference for Cultural Tours in the Province of Negros Occidental. This year mark it in your calendars, every Saturday of December 2011 come and join the up coming 39th Annual Cultural Tour of Negros..
