Bacolod has some historical places that we, Filipinos should see and experience being part of our history. First time I saw an angry Christ in murals as the altar background of the church in Victoria's milling, got to see a boiling pond in Mambukal resort and many old Spanish time houses which made me admire the negrenses for preserving them for present and future generation to see making them feel as part of Philippine history. But the best thing is our group were so lucky we got a very well rounded kind, respectful and very knowledgeable of Negros history tour guide who so patiently brought us to as far as Ilaya high mountains so we can taste a very nice locally made coffee. Over all our stint in Bacolod is worth our time.

With very few exceptions, getting around Bacolod was easy and inexpensive. The restaurants were diversified and affordable. Reasonably priced accommodations were plentiful. The people, and culture in general, are friendly and welcoming.

Bacolod is a small city in the middle part of the Philippines. It is a location for foodies-- Bacolod Inasal (BBQ) is a must try when you visit. For approximately 2-3hrs travel time, you can head up north to Lakawon Island and visit Tawhay (Floating Beach Resort) or down South to Kabangkalan to see the Mag-aso Falls (Waterfalls Resort). On top of these you can see much more around Negros Occidental which is the region where Bacolod is located.

The Bacolod City port is not traveler friendly. Taxi drivers overcharge ferry passengers from the port. The rate is flat rate starting at 200 pesos to the city proper and more than that beyond 5 kilometers. The tricycle drivers charge ferry terminal passengers 30 pesos per person for a short ride to city proper. Even the terminal fee is 40 pesos (Iloilo ferry terminal fee is 30 pesos) when the toilets do not soap and tissue paper. Bacolod City officials should address the overkill by terminal authorities in charges levied on the captive customers the ferry passengers.
