wala akong ma-search na thread about Bacolod and its neighboring cities so i decided to make one.

will be going there next month. yipee!

mga sis, ano ba mga must-see places and must-do activities sa Bacolod?

**edited the subject since mukhang eto yun magkakatabi at pwedeng pagsama samahin sa trip.

Dati may thread bout Bacolod nawala na pala.

Sayang you should go here this month-October kasi Masskara.

Go to the different restaus in Bacolod and enjoy the food. Pepe's, Bob's, Bascon's cafe, Calea and a lot more.

onga sis e. taka nga ako wala ako masearch. hehe. anyway, gawa na lang ng panibago.

sayang nga e. masskara festival pala ngayong october. November kasi yun promo ticket na nabili ko before

^Sayang nga. Check on The Ruins in Talisay for picture-picture. Don't forget to buy some goodies from Emma Lacson its near BPI in Silay City. Its a house so you just ask around for directions.

Yummy fresh lumpia, empanada, pili squares and others.

^yes sis, nasa notes ko yan.

help naman sis

pano iti ba massuggest mo for my Day1? eto kasi yun mga gusto ko puntahan on Day1 (Bacolod day) kung kakayanin:

6am- arrival at Bacolod airport

- breakfast at Kapehang Sang Silay
- visit the ancestral houses & Bernardino Jalandoni Museum in Silay
- try the fresh lumpia/empanada from Emma Lacson in Silay City
- visit Ruins in Talisay
- check in at Check Inn hotel
- Mambukal Resort
- lunch at Manokan Country
- have some dessert at Calea's
- (ano bang mga food pasalubong ang pwede bilhin from Bacolod and saan dapat bumili? gusto ko rin ng tshirt at magnet)

panong pagkakasunod sunod ba ang gagawin ko para macover ko lahat in 1 day? (or impossible sya?)

isa pang problem is hindi ko pa alam ang pag commute commute going to these places. DIY lang kasi 2 lang kami. mahal naman kung magrerent pa ng van.

the next day, i am planning to take the early morning ferry bound for Iloilo kung wala na pwedeng puntahan/gawin sa Bacolod.

thanks in advance sis!

Mas ok siguro if you'll have 2days in Bacolod. You might want to stay for an overnight in Mambukal. Or kahit half day on the second day.

Mambukal is 45 minutes away from the city. You can enjoy the place by climbing to the falls--there are 7 falls there.

Im not familiar with Kapehan sang Silay.

From the airport pwede ka sumakay ng van dun tapos you tell them na sa highway ka baba near BPI tapos malapit na Ideal at Emma Lacson dun. To go to the museums you can ride tricycle from the main street.

Going to the Ruins is quite difficult. Papasok kasi siya. Baka its better to get a taxi na lang rent na lang siguro para pwede din kayo ihatid sa Check Inn after. Madami taxi sa airport so you might seek for their number before you leave going to the city proper of Silay para pasundo na lang kayo dun. 400 kasi singil nila from airport to Bacolod near Check Inn. So baka you would need to add since you're passing the Ruins.

For pasalubong like magnets etc. visit the Showroom of Association of Negros Producers along Lacson Street.

For food pasalubong:
Virgie's in San Sebastian Street
Bong-bong's meron sa SM nito
Bailon's in near Lopue's San Sebastian this is walking distance from Check Inn
and a lot more..

Restaurant's to try:
1. Pepe's in Piazza Sorrento go there for dinner on your first day to have some margarita too. The place transforms into a bar/club at 10pm.
2. Bob's Restaurant in North Drive across The Riverside Medical Center--must try would be the Sate Babe. There cakes are yummy too.
3. Coffebreak at Bob's Cafe along Lacson Street. Or in Kuppa in Shopping- Corner Tindalo Hilado Streets.
4. Bascon cafe along Lacson Street have good food too. callos, lengua, chicken relleno etc. They have yummy baked goods like cheese roll etc.

Eto lang muna for now I'll add more later.

^thanks sis!. pwede rin half day pa kami kinabukasan.

Day 2 na lang kami pupunta ng Mambukal. may schedule ba sila? or anytime pwede naman pumunta. siguro mga 6am byahe na kami from hotel to Mambukal para before 12 nakabalik na kami sa hotel for check out.

yun mga ancestral houses sa Silay, may mga schedule din ba sila? kasi ang arrival namin sa bacolod 6am e. inaalala ko baka mga 9am or 10am pa nagoopen yun mga ancestral houses for visitors.

magkabilaang dulo yata yun Silay at Talisay base sa mapa na nakita ko dito (http://www.bacolodcity.gov.ph/map.htm). so dapat pala gawin ko na lang Silay in the morning (diretso from airport) tapos check in sa hotel tapos Talisay naman in the afternoon.

sis, sa Talisay ba yun Ruins lang yun pwedeng pasyalan dun wala na iba?

ang dami kong tanong. hehe.. sensya na sis ha. salamat ng marami sa help

aMz · « **Reply #7 on:** October 10, 2009, 09:21:20 pm »

^No sis. From Silay airport you will pass by Talisay City on your way to Bacolod City. There's no other way for you to go to Bacolod from Silay if you don't pass by Talisay.

The Ruins lang ata makikita sa Talisay.

Oh you might want to check Balay ni Tana Dicang in Talisay. Its a museum also.

I'm not sure about the schedule of the museums. Maybe around 8am or 9 am they are open na.

You can go to Mambukal anytime.

I suggest you try all my recommendations. Don't worry they are not expensive. Bacolod is all about food. That's our tourist attraction I must say.

Anyway, I'm born and currently living in the City of Smiles--Bacolod.

We'll be going next week to Bacolod for Masskara Festival. Balitaan kita sis pagtapos ko na ang itinerary namin.

Anyone knows directions, if galing ng Silay pano magcommute going to Ruins by jeep or tryk?

lakwatsa · « **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2009, 06:42:09 am »

super thanks sis aMz! hope to see you there! kalito naman yun mapa! haha! try pa ko hanap ng ibang maps

sige isama ko yun Balay ni Tana Dicang sa Talisay.

so bale Silay -> Talisay -> Bacolod sa Day 1 and then half day sa Mambukal naman sa Day 2.

wait lang sis may nahagip ang mata ko while researching.. yun "Lakawon". maganda daw dito comparable sa boracay yun sand nya. saan area naman ito malapit and accessible ba sya by public transport? (mukhang magiging 2 whole days na ang ia-allot ko for bacolod ah. haha!)

sis surrealprincess, naku sobrang thank you rin in advance ha! GTalkers are the best talaga!

aMz · « **Reply #10 on:** October 11, 2009, 09:13:53 am »

^^Sis surrealprincess, if you read my previous posts here you'll know how to go to the Ruins from Silay City. Get a cab at the airport.

There's a countdown on the eve of October 18. There will be fireworks. You should go to Lacson Street for the street party.

lakwatsa, Lakawon is an island off Cadiz City. From Silay its in the North while Bacolod in Talisay are in the South. Tapos yung Mambukal is in the East ata. Not sure with the directions of the compass. Hehe

Yup Lakawon is accessible you can ride Ceres bus and merong mga pump boat which can bring you to the island itself.

kung morning ka lang sa mambucal baka mabitin ka.... skip mo na lang kung limited ang time mo it might not be worth it IMO.... tingin ko dapat whole day para sulit yung travel mo

lakwatsa · « **Reply #13 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:39:57 am »

thanks mga sis! skip ko na yun Lakawon kasi whole din daw ang kelangan dun para ma enjoy e. will go for Mambukal na lang tapos bahala na kung abutin ng whole day dun hehe.

tapos sa L'Fisher Chalet na lang kami magsstay. kakaopen lang daw nito this Oct tapos mura lang ang rates e.

eto na yun revised iti ko:

Day 1:
Airport --> Silay tour --> Talisay Tour --> Bacolod City tour

Day 2:
Mambukal (half to whole day, depende) --> Pasalubong shopping

Day 3:
early morning ferry to Iloilo, go straight to Guimaras

Day4
back to Iloilo early morning for Iloilo tour --> airport in the evening

tanong ulit mga sis, since DIY kami dahil 2 lang, kelangan tipid mode at dapat matutunan kung pano mag commute commute. hehe. patulong naman po sa mga ito

:

1. from airport, nabasa ko, lakad ka lang daw palabas tapos pwede na sumakay ng trike dun going to Silay City. standard fare ba yun Php10 per pax tapos san kami ibaba nun trike?

2. within Silay walking distance na lang ba yun mga ancestral houses and museum?

3. from Silay, ano yun sign board ng jeep na dapat sakyan going to Balay ni Tana Dicang sa Talisay at saka Ruins (ano ba mauuna madaanan sa dalawang ito?)

4. from Talisay, ano yun signboard ng jeep na pwede sakyan para makapunta sa L' Fisher Chalet?

5. from L'Fisher, pano makakapunta sa Mambukal?

6. yun sa Mambukal, may shower area naman para makaligo/ banlaw after ng swimming swimming?

thanks in adv mga sis!

Yes, this is a good choice! L'Fisher Hotel is like the "best" hotel in Bacolod so I presume L'Fisher Chalet is ok too. The "best" in the sense that big politicians stay here whenever they are in town like Erap etc. Celebrities too like Kris Aquino and her Yap family. And take note L'Fisher Chalet is located at the back of Lacson Street so that makes you near the happening places in Bacolod.

I'm not sure about this. Siguro meron sa labas ng airport mismo its like a 5 minute walk.

2. within Silay walking distance na lang ba yun mga ancestral houses and museum?

Yup, pwede if gusto niyo mag sight seeing kasi Silay is known to be the Paris of Negros.

3. from Silay, ano yun sign board ng jeep na dapat sakyan going to Balay ni Tana Dicang sa Talisay at saka Ruins (ano ba mauuna madaanan sa dalawang ito?)

Going to Talisay you can ride Silay-Bacolod jeepney. I just don't know what to ride going to Balay ni Tana Dicang and The Ruins.

4. from Talisay, ano yun signboard ng jeep na pwede sakyan para makapunta sa L' Fisher Chalet?

Ride Talisay-Bacolod jeepney. Baba kayo ng Robinson's Place Bacolod para d kayo maligaw as you can see the building from afar. Ride Mandalagan-Libertad jeepney baba kayo ng L'Fisher Hotel.

5. from L'Fisher, pano makakapunta sa Mambukal?
Ride Mandalagan-Libertad jeep. Baba ng Libertad Market find PNB malapit dun yung sakayan ng Mambukal-Bacolod.

6. yun sa Mambukal, may shower area naman para makaligo/ banlaw after ng swimming swimming?
Meron naman.

^thanks sis!

aside from Pasalubong Shopping sa afternoon ng Day2, gusto ko sana isingit yun pagpunta sa Victorias to see yun mural painting ng The Angry Christ.

pano ba makakapunta dun if galing sa Bacolod City? malayo ba sya saka yun lang bang Angry Christ ang pwedeng puntahan sa Victorias? worth it pa kaya puntahan kung 4hrs lang yun spare time?

aMz · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:36:35 pm »

D ako familiar sa mural painting in Victorias. Victorias is around 1.5 hours bus ride. Wala naman tourist attraction dun siguro yung Victorias Milling Co. But hindi naman pwede pumasok if walang permit. For me hindi siya worth it. I'd rather enjoy Bacolod na lang.

lakwatsa · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2009, 06:14:52 pm »

Thanks sa advice sis! sige, di ko na lang isasama yun Victorias.

aMz · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:23:00 pm »

No prob!

Glad to be of help.
