Background
It is located in South East of Negros Islands - known as Bonbonon. The mouth of the river is very shallow, attempting to enter at high tide is a wise move. Once in the channel depth is 7 to 8 meters. There are about 40 boats at anchor at the moment, most of them with no-one on board. Security is good as no theft has been reported according to yachties that have been hanging around for a few years.
Paperwork is minimal, no port, no custom, only immigration. Initial visa is about US$20 for 3 weeks, a 2 months extension is in the region of US$70 and there is no limit how often it can be extended.
By the way the anchorage is free, some moorings are available from time to time for about US$20 a month but one better dive on it. The holding is very good so a decent anchor, perhaps doubled up might be more reliable than a mooring.
