It is doubtful that many Western tourists visiting the Philippines would ever get down to Bacolod in Negros Occidental unless that is wear they were aiming for. The Philippines is full of interest though and here there is the Negros Forests and Ecological Foundation Inc Breeding Centre. There are those who would argue that Avilon Zoo is the best in the Philippines but I would say it this place is higher up in the top five. It is not the biggest or the most flashy but it is doing all the right things. This is a good zoo and well worth the visit
