Ilog

Ilog lies on the southwestern side of Negros, beside the river from which it takes its name. It was one of the island's early coastal settlements and traded across the water with neighbouring communities. In the late sixteenth century the Augustinian mission at Binalbagan treated Ilog as an outstation. Secular priests later served the settlement, and Jesuits took charge in 1630, while communities farther inland remained beyond the reach of many Spanish institutions.
