Negros Island is the fourth largest island in the Philippines and its major city Bacolod is the fourth largest city
in the Philippines. Negros Island is located in the middle of the Philippine Islands in the Visayan Islands between two other
large Visayan islands Cebu and Panay, and Negros is just north of Mindanao Island. The island is divided into two provinces:
Occidental Negros and Oriental Negros (recently ranked by Islands Magazine as one of the top 20 islands in the world for foreigners to live on). The Philippines' largest cave---Odloman Cave---is located in Mabinay in the middle of Negros Island.

          The 5th class city in the province of Oriental Negros is Tanjay. Tanjay City has a population of 70,169 people in 14,156 households. It has a land area of 478.30 km². The city itself is a very diverse one. It has a wide collection of flora & fauna found in its hinterlands. It also has myriads of tourist spots that just needs development. Its culture has its own unique that can't be found elsewhere. The city has evolved for the better. This City is very progressive among the cities of Oriental Negros.

          Mostly, the highest concentration of professionals towards its population is in this city and produces most of the musical talents for the province. It is best known, moreover, for two other proud-makers: the portable feast "bud-bud sa Tanjay", which has birthed a Bud-bud Festival due to the popularity of its glutinous delicacy; Saulog Festival of Tanjay, a festival, with an 1814 ancestry, revived in the 1980's to enliven the fiesta. Sugarcane plantations can be found all over the city, as well as shimmering bangus (milkfish) ponds.

         Every friday night there's a ballroom dancing at the plaza of Tanjay City draws aficionados from as far as in the City of Dumaguete. The only navigable river from Dumaguete to Manjuyod in the north is the Tanjay river.
