BY MARICAR ARANAS

A plan to develop the white sand beaches in Luka and the sand bar in Manjuyod, Bais City, Negros Oriental, was revealed by Mayor Hector Villanueva Wednesday.

Villanueva said these white sand beaches will soon become touristdestinations, particularly the whitesandbeachnear Luka wharf, which is drawing tourist for its clean and clear water.

The area will be transformed into a world-class tourist site but the design will not destroy the natural beauty of the place. More mangroves will be planted, he added.
