BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The Negros Oriental government has allocated millions of pesos to develop Baslay Twin Hot Springs in Dauin town and White Sand Beach in Tanjay City , two new potential tourist attractions, this year.

Gov. Emilio Macias II has requested the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to appropriate an additional P2 million for the completion of the boardwalk and for the construction of cottages and sanitation facilities in the area.  

Macias said the immediate establishment of sanitation facilities such as portable latrines has been stressed to avoid polluting the pristine waters of the White Sand Beach , because visitors have already started going to the mangrove area.
