Kapehan Ni Juan
The one of the foremost aims of the Balay ni Tan Juan Community Museum is to create
educational presence as well as to preserve the culture that has made Bago City to be known as
the Home of Historical and Natural Treasures. One of the most basic of these developmental
thrusts is creating a venue wherein people are welcomed to congregate and share stories while
being reminded of what history is all about. In our communities, what better way to share
stories than through a “kapehan”.
Kapehan ni Juan is proposed to be an enclosed area to be located outside of the Balay ni
Tan Juan itself but within its gates, making the museum as part of the ambiance. It would be a
“theme” café that will serve as reminder of the man, Tan Juan Araneta, and the his contribution
to the history of Negros.
Kapehan ni Juan will be a specialized or themed café that will use snippets of General
Juan Araneta’s history in the delivery of service. It is proposed to be located beside the
existing guard house all the way towards the currently make-shift hut; this area will serve
as the cashier’s counter and the kitchen. The wall, leading towards counter will be
developed to look like a sugarcane field with foldable and retractable tables for the
customers. Other tables, designed to look like wooden crates will be strategically placed on
what is currently the parking space. A designed covering will be placed on top of the area
but should go with the garden design and not be an eye sore and ruin the aesthetic aspect
of the whole Balay ni Tan Juan. A native duyan will be placed at the center of the small
cluster of trees near the counter where a bookshelf will also be placed to encourage the
customers to stay.
Eventually, a glassed in, air-conditioned VIP room will be introduced for guests.

Economic Environment
Bago City is known as the “Home of historical and natural treasures”, owing to its
contribution in the colourful history of the province of Negros Occidental and country, and
its beautiful scenery and abundance in flora and fauna making it a good eco-
tourism destination.
In the last several decades, there has been a lot of changes in the economic landscape within
Bago City. From the former thrust of the city government several years ago of catering to
mainly local business owners to thrive within the economic scene of Bago, a lot has changes in
the last two (2) seats of governance who has taken a more open stance in opening business
Recognizing the potentials in terms of boosting the local economy, the top official of the City
Government of Bago is eyeing to develop three of their sites as tourism enterprise zones (TEZ).
Currently the City is planning to "fuse" Buenos Aires Mountain Resort and Rafael M. Salas Park
and Nature Center, all in Barangay Ilijan, making it one zone for tourism enterprise
development.
These are on top of the 15-hectare portion of Bantayan Park at Barangay Poblacion, which is
being positioned to become the city's new commercial growth area.
The designation of TEZs is under the Tourism Investment and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza).
For private TEZs, or areas with private individual owners, the owners are the ones presenting
their development plan. The Tieza then check whether it is feasible and sustainable.
For flagship TEZs, meanwhile, the agency is doing the master development plan for the areas
identified through an inventory created by the DOT and local government units (LGUs).
The Department of Tourism in Region 6 earlier said the development of more TEZs in Negros
Occidental will contribute to improving the province’s economy mainly through the creation of
more employment opportunities.
For Bago City, the local government has earlier opened the development of Bantayan Park to
interested investors.
The idea is for the investor to develop the whole 15 hectares, and then a portion of it will be
granted to them for commercial operation.
The development with an indicative cost of at least P1 billion includes commercial and open
spaces, playground, permanent structures for 24 barangay booths, and small fish landing port
and market, among others.
Other than those stated above, the Balay ni Tan Juan Museum is a perfect spot to introduce a
new way for experiencing the coffeeshop feel that has been growing the all areas of the world.
In fact, a recent study by the students of Bago City College has concluded that students are
more often attracted to coffee shops rather than sing-along bars or drinking spots which were
After consultation with the Tourism Council of the City, the Legal Office and the other related
agencies, the planned and proposed Kapehan is well under way to become a go to spot in Bago
