BACOLOD CITY<\/strong>\u00a0— The provincial government-run Mambukal Resort in Murcia, Negros Occidental is offering a day tour package dubbed \u201cKaon ta sa Suba\u201d (Let\u2019s eat by the river) every weekend.<\/p>\n

Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson on Friday led the formal opening of the resort\u2019s newest attraction with manager Ellen Jalandoni.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m inviting the Negrenses to come visit here. This is the latest innovation and improvement in Mambukal Resort to give Negrenses a place to gather as a family or with friends, and enjoy the scenery and good food,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n

Lacson was joined by Col. Romeo Baleros, director of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, and Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, commander of the Philippine Army\u2019s 303rd Infantry Brigade, during the luncheon.<\/p>\n

Initially, a total of 20 tables are available to accommodate between 80 and 120 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just phase one. Phase two will be down there. I really think more people will come here,\u201d Lacson said.<\/p>\n

The day tour package, available on Saturdays and Sundays, costs PHP499. It includes entrance to the resort, swimming pools, dipping pool, and a hearty Filipino buffet lunch by the river.<\/p>\n

Jalandoni said the \u201cKaon ta sa Suba\u201d is part of the continuing developments in the mountain resort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to maximize the resort\u2019s potential. Mambukal has been here for a long time so we want to introduce innovation. Visitors always look for something new. That\u2019s how the idea came about,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Jalandoni said they have put a Negrense twist to the Filipino dishes being served.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a sugar capital, we want to highlight the sugarcane. We have sugarcane juice as our welcome drink. The chicken inasal, which Bacolod is known for, is marinated with sugarcane,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Jalandoni said that before the formal opening on Friday, they have already accommodated guests from Zamboanga, Iloilo, and Batangas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
