“Salvador Benedicto was founded on February 9, 1983 upon the approval of Batas Pambansa Bilang 336 by the President of the Philippines, the legislation authored by Batasang Pambansa members Alfonso Garcia and Jose Valera, Jr. It acquired its name in honor of the late Vice Governor Salvadro Benedicto who was part in settling the Revolutionary Government of Negros Island at the area (Barangay Igmaya-an) during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines last World War II.” – DonSalvadorBenedicto.Gov.Ph
