Body Painting is a time honored tradition in Negros. Our ancestors, would paint and tattoo their bodies with different forms of tribal art that would depict their status in society or simply to attract more attention.

In recent times, Body Painting has been launched in famous Negros festivals such as Panaad, Masskara and Pintaflores. One of the pioneers of Body Painting here in Negros is Eric Estampador Caballes who has launched an annual competition entitled, "The NUI Body Painting Awards."

Now its time for the Crown Princes of Negros to continue this tradition.

Forever, Hari ng Negros.
