I was born in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental Philippines. It's called the city of smile because of the friendly locals. People welcome you with a smile and by the time you go, it puts a smile in your face thinking about the memories you had in this city.
In the middle of a developing city, the green park is well preserved. This is our Public plaza or shall I call it the city center. All local transportation pass around this area so you won't get lost.
If you are hungry try the famous Grilled Chicken Barbeque called Chicken Inasal bacolod's best specialty serve mostly in the restaurants. I would recommend the Manukan country, beside the SM shopping mall in the city center or if you fancy a nice restaurant, then go to Chicken House.
Going to Bacolod Philippines by plane or by boat from major cities like Manila, cebu and Davao direct flights, you can check local airlines online.
The Bacolodnon speak the dialect called Hiligaynon or Illonggo. Teach you few phrases:
Hello - Hi / Musta
Good morning - Maayong AGA
Good evening - Maayong Gab-I
Gamay - Small
Dako - Big
Where are you going? Di in ka makadto?
I miss you - nahidlaw na ako sa imo
I love you - Palangga ta ka
The best time to visit the city of smile is during the month of October where the famous Masskara festival is held. It's the merriest and the most colorful festival in the Philippines.
Accomodations/hotels I would suggest you check online at booking.com and agoda.com for safe and reliable website. You can reserve without paying first, these are my favorite and trusted sites when travelling.
