Malacañang has declared Monday, June 17, a special non-working holiday for the municipality of Bindoy, Negros Oriental, which will celebrate its 70th Charter Anniversary.

Executive Sec. Salvador Medialdea signed Friday the proclamation by the authority of President Duterte.

Formerly known as Payabon, a barrio of the municipality of Manjuyod, Bindoy is now a 3rd class municipality in the 1st District of Negros Oriental, with a population of about 40,000 people.

The town got its name from the nickname of Hermenegildo “Bindoy” Teves Villanueva (1876-1941), a native of this barrio, who had served as governor of Negros Oriental, congressman of the 1st District, Labor Secretary under President Quezon’s Cabinet, and senator of the Republic. (AP)
