Hey Michael and Bianca. Just a little bit of history. Bacolod and Iloilo are oftentimes called Twin cities or sister cities as most people are related by blood. My Grandmother for example was from Negros Occidental. She was of mixed German Filipino and Spanish. This was very common during the early pre war period. Most of the wealthy sugar barons like the Lopez cla from Iloilo also expanded to Negros Occidental and began cultivating the local sugar industry there. Thats why both cities have a lot in common but also very unique in some aspects
And many towns and cities in Negros Occidental originated as haciendas founded by sugar barons from Iloilo City and province. And they brought themselves workers from Iloilo. Yeah, most Negrenses are descendants of these immigrants from iloilo.
My husband is from Bacolod but hasn't been back there in 47 years. He came over in 1976 and we met in 1979 and married in 1983. I will have to show him your stream. Loved it.
*I was born in Bacolod City and moved to Vancouver Canada for almost 40yrs ago. Since then I still haven’t gone back home so thank you for sharing this video. You guys need to try the famous Bacolod Chicken Inasal!*
Drop by Silay city, one place that made our history intertwined with Talisay, Bago city, Silay is our Paris of Negros,,Other place to go is Mambukal Hot spring resort, Ruin, Lakawon island, or by exploring BC is famous for smorgasbord
One of the reasons why Iloilo and Bacolod are called sister cities goes back to their history. During sugar boom in the port of Iloilo, wealthy families from Iloilo built haciendas in Negros and had sugarcane plantations. A lot of families have relatives from both cities/provinces especially those “old money” Ilonggo names. One of the many is the Lizares clan. There’s a Lizares Mansion in Iloilo and I think there’s one in Talisay, Negros. Probably different owners but from the same clan.
The difference in quality between SM and Ayala condos is just huge. When I stayed in SMDC in tagaytay it sounded like the jeepneys were in my room. Then I stayed at an Ayala condo with construction right outside of my balcony all hours of the day and I can hardly hear a sound. Vast vast difference.
Looks like a real happening and enjoyable place to relax at night, as Bianca said the Festival would be good to see and lastly I believe her when she says she looks better in real life, that is a given....😇😇😇
Hello guys, thanks for sharing this video. Bacolod called a City of smile but more likely a sweet City because of the sugar cane plantations sorrounding the area and nearby town.
Vikings is usually awesome. Looking forward to my visit next week . The acacia hotel has a wave pool and cabanas open to the public if you need to chill 😎
I think you'll never get culture shock there because Bacolod is just like an extension of Iloilo because they speak Hiligaynon there too. They're sweet also hehe. Ilonggo Nation
Thank you for sharing this video. I miss Bacolod my hometown. Hopefully you enjoyed your stay. The church that you saw near SM is actually a marker called Pope John Paul II Tower, commemorating Pope John Paul II’s visit in 1981 with educational info & an observation tower. Please visit Lakawon Island Resort and Mambucal Spring Resort soon.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Bacolod Public Plaza Where people gather around every afternoon to play chess, debating about their beliefs and to unwind after a tiring day from work. My hometown. I miss my life in Bacolod 2nd to none it's better than my life here in England. I'll see you on the 26th city of smiles
Welcome to the City Smile 😊 Bacolod . The Bacolod Public Plaza showing the Gazebo at the Center. Where the Massaka Festival performs before. It’s the heart of downtown area. Across from the San Sebastián Cathedral. I remember when I was small, after church we will go there in the Public Plaza and take pictures 😊. Now, Bacolod is the Food Center as well. You should try the Chicken Inasal just across of SM. Aida’s I can recommend. Bob’s Restaurant located at North Drive owned by Doctor Sicangco. 50+ years. Places to go, The Ruins in Talisay City. Was ancestral mansion of family of wealthy. I’m just give you guys brief history. Mambukal Mountain Resort, located in Murcia, Negros Occidental. My birth place, but I grow up in Bacolod the sugarbowl of the Philippines 🇵🇭 as well. Produces sugar in Negros. I hope you enjoy your stay in Bacolod 😊.
You guys always luck out with some fine hotel rooms. This one looks really nice. What does CR stand for when referring to the bathroom? Not familiar with that. Looks like another pretty city and again looking very attractive with all the lights on the shore front. I'm always surprised that there never seems to be any vandalism - all credit to the people who look after all these exhibits. ♡♡♡
I noticed you guys passed by Zack's Burgers, try it next time, they are a few steps above the fast food burgers. Stay safe and have fun. I am American but was born and raised in the Philippines.
Next location Please... Sicogon Island ... It's actually called the PARADISE ISLAND... I bet you'll gonna love the place... 😊😊😊 Waiting and hoping soon... 🤞🤞
Hi guys..sorry we didn't get to see you in passicity iloilo , but to be honest it just wasn't the right time or circumstances 😢, but we are now back in UK and came home with a horrible chest infection..but all ok now..enjoy Bacolod, hopefully we will be more settled in 2 years and living in iloilo permanently..take care guys,,🎉
bacolod and iloilo are brother cities, they are always intertwine a little bit of competition among bacolod and iloilo for bacolodnon is known to be "tikalon" (proud) because of the sugar barons whom become so rich in early 40's and 50's and negros has become one of the richest province during that time until martial law came where negros/bacolod became the face of hunger in the country and struck by tragedies but bacolod created masskara festival to show its resiliency and the chicken inasal which became a staple food since people then cant afford to buy a whole chicken, a vendor cut the chickens into portions, the paa(leg) pecho(breast) and the pak pak(wing) then many followed so the famous vacolod chicken inasal and manokan country was born, bacolod have a rich history only that we tend to be modest about it
I stumbled upon your channel just now when you say Canadian you must be Canadian I am Pilipino living in Vancouver Canada lol Hello eh?😁😊My family left the Philippines in the 80s time for me to rediscover my homeland. I'm in my 50s so not too ovwild adventures for me, do blog for old school like us myself 😁🤣😊👍🌸❤️
@Jaquiline Banico. Hello Vancouver! TPL is great for adventures, some quiet & some noisy! They’re like I conceptualize the Philippines itself to be: family friendly, all ages valued & welcome, & loves a good party (see prior club, beach party, festival vlogs).
Trivia. The restaurant named Bacolod Chicken Inasal is not even from Bacolod.. its origin is Mandaluyong City. And there's no restaurant with that name existing in Bacolod..
Head up to Talisay for historical stuff. There's really nothing much to see in Bacolod. Most of the island was sugar cane field and haciendas. We do have some nice Art Deco homes that offer tours.
Agree if you're just there for few days not enough time. You guys are more adventurous than when I was there 2 years ago just had a chance to explore SM Mall in the city and nothing else except few trips to Sipalay.
@@BiancaBeyond much cheaper to rent a car here in bacolod..you can go to mountains like don Salvador and Patag in silay city..a lot to explore and discover in negros..roads outside Bacolod are wider..by car you can travel the whole negros island oriental and occidental..a lot of beautiful beaches in oriental side part facing Cebu island
@@BiancaBeyond For Bacolod food, I'd recommend the inasal around the NGC and there's a new Mega World city thing going up within walking distance. The vibe at the restaurants and bistros in the NGC area is pretty good in the evenings. If you would like classic Bacolod western food, Bob's Cafe is the place and you can score some premium deli meat/cheese there as well, Deliciouso (sp) and the Cold Room are very nice, the Cold Room would really show up well on the camera. You can get great imported steaks at both locations, but the Cold Room is the best in that regard, IMO of course. If I was planning a day, it would start off visiting the Ruins in the morning, hitting the Cold Room for lunch and then taking an afternoon break at the hotel, then doing the evening at the NGC/Mega World. If you want to do the art thing, the Negros Museum has a great Italian restaurant there and then you can visit the museum. The food is great, but honestly I've never been in the museum and its within walking distance of where you're at.
That's not a church my friend that's a tower. The site is where pope John Paul 2nd held his mass during the early 80's. It's a tribute site for the late pope
That church was constructed for arrival of the pope John Paul who came to the Philippines. Well that’s what my girlfriend told when I came in 2022 We will be back in 2024 May 🇬🇧🇵🇭🇬🇧🇵🇭❤️
Missed crossing from Iloilo to visit the City of Smiles. Hope me and my family can come back to Bacolod soon. Missed the place. Thank you for sharing the updates!
@@davidnollers7538 tipping is optional in the Philippines but if your are in the hotel. usually we give tip it’s an appreciation for helping you. It’s just me or my experience I’m not sure with others. When I travel back in the Philippines to visit my family during pandemic. I gave tip to anyone who helped and provide me service. My husband told me to be generous because my fellow Filipinos we’re struggling during pandemic. Although we are struggling here in America but are situation is not as bad in the Philippines.
Seriously!!! We actually asked the waiter . Where are all the vegetables he took us to a small section for the salad bar that was basically empty 😃😃 so yea nothing healthy that night
Actually my friend your guide didn't take you to the newer side of Bacolod. Like Iloilo there's the old side of the city and new side of the city. Iloilo is the center of western Visayas it should lead the region while Bacolod City is only the provincial capital of Negros Occidental
Negros Occidental part near Panay like Bacolod speak Hiligaynon. While the one near Cebu speak Bisaya/Cebuano. Iloilo super rich, those that own the mansions in the city, have their sugar hacendas in Negros...
Hiligaynon is Bisaya too... It is Umbrella term but Cebuano are regionalistic people so they made it exclusive. Official name of Hiligaynon is "Binisaya na Hiligaynon"
Iloilo is kinda boring although they have tall buildings, festive walk and esplanade...compared if u are in bacolod you can visit nearby silay heritage houses and magikland,lakawon beach, mambukal,don salvador, campuestuhan, the ruins , Ngc, capitol lagoon, panaad park and stadium, manokan country authentic chken inasal.. wildlife within the city and alot more..
Bacolod is twice the size of Iloilo in terms of land area. They are building the new economic highway which will tap the new growth area where can can drive the whole city.. I lived in Iloilo before and the city is so small compared to Bacolod. Rockwell chose Bacolod as it's first township outside of Manila
Bacolod has also a lot of tall building along Lacson the skyline of bacolod are scattered not just in lacson they have ayala skyline bredco.. The upper east. And its coming the rockwell center bacolod along circumferential road.. Bacolod and negros.. A lot of tourist attraction here and you felt not are boring.. And so many forienger living here.. I have friend korean and japanese are living here.. Etc.. 👍
Iloilo is boring..polluted air..overrated river.. Bacolod is a metropolis but has a countryside vibes..more liveable by a mile than iloilo..Iloilo is very stressful to live in.. bacolod is very lively
You know what during Marcos regime bacolod is the richest province most of the haciendero and haciendera lives in bacolod this is the sugar capital of the Philippines. Bacolod use to be the province of rich people but Marcos control the sugar industry some rich people flew abroad because they. Scared with the Marcos everything under control by the marcosis
…& now…they’re back. I know TPL doesn’t do politics, & actually I don’t really want to but my curiosity gets the best of me like often🐈⬛: I wonder how the area voted re that return or maybe seen as separate entities?
Before the year of Marcos dictatorship.,The economy of Negros and Bacolod were the richest and robust among the provinces in the Philippines.,unfortunately,the sad stories of hacienderos began during Mr.Marcos Sr regime in the 70s and early years of 80s.People Power revolution stopped his abusive one man rule..Democracy was reinstated during The Aquino Presidency which was favorable to all Negrenses.Sugar industry has recovered during President Corazon C.Aquino democratic Rule.
The mayor of Bacolod needs to clean the buildings of his city, they look so smoky/ dark, even the roads are dark colored from smug and uneven. Yes I hate places that have no well paved sidewalks( sorry for the strong words but pedestrian should always be prioritized over cars). Trash is bad too, infront of the entrance is trash yet there is an entrance fee, wow, bad. Sorry again but Iloilo's baywalk looks more expensive than Bacolod looking cheap. Bacolod needs to be flushed with cleaning chemical..LOL..
I think the issues you are blabbing about are nationwide and not only specific to Bacolod, if you know what I mean. However, I agree with you. They need to be cognizant of the trash around them in Bacolod.

Actually my friend your guide didn't take you to the newer side of Bacolod. Like Iloilo there's the old side of the city and new side of the city. Iloilo is the center of western Visayas it should lead the region while Bacolod City is only the provincial capital of Negros Occidental
Useless info from most bloggers migo, they arrive in a new place with no clue and talk like they they are tourist guides
Check out the eskenita resto n bar
With that adobo they’ll let you figure it out yourself: which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Church is on top to be closer to god
Negros Occidental part near Panay like Bacolod speak Hiligaynon. While the one near Cebu speak Bisaya/Cebuano. Iloilo super rich, those that own the mansions in the city, have their sugar hacendas in Negros...
Hiligaynon is Bisaya too... It is Umbrella term but Cebuano are regionalistic people so they made it exclusive. Official name of Hiligaynon is "Binisaya na Hiligaynon"
Bacolod is not really as nice as Iloilo City but it’s also a progressive place in Visayas. So many places to explore and foods to eat❤️
Iloilo is kinda boring although they have tall buildings, festive walk and esplanade...compared if u are in bacolod you can visit nearby silay heritage houses and magikland,lakawon beach, mambukal,don salvador, campuestuhan, the ruins , Ngc, capitol lagoon, panaad park and stadium, manokan country authentic chken inasal.. wildlife within the city and alot more..
@@Fritz71 kwento mo yan eh 😅😅😅
Bacolod is twice the size of Iloilo in terms of land area. They are building the new economic highway which will tap the new growth area where can can drive the whole city.. I lived in Iloilo before and the city is so small compared to Bacolod. Rockwell chose Bacolod as it's first township outside of Manila
Bacolod has also a lot of tall building along Lacson the skyline of bacolod are scattered not just in lacson they have ayala skyline bredco.. The upper east. And its coming the rockwell center bacolod along circumferential road.. Bacolod and negros.. A lot of tourist attraction here and you felt not are boring.. And so many forienger living here.. I have friend korean and japanese are living here.. Etc.. 👍
Iloilo is boring..polluted air..overrated river.. Bacolod is a metropolis but has a countryside vibes..more liveable by a mile than iloilo..Iloilo is very stressful to live in.. bacolod is very lively
You know what during Marcos regime bacolod is the richest province most of the haciendero and haciendera lives in bacolod this is the sugar capital of the Philippines.
Bacolod use to be the province of rich people but Marcos control the sugar industry some rich people flew abroad because they. Scared with the Marcos everything under control by the marcosis
Sugar cane is everywhere!
@@BiancaBeyond try to visit SILAY CITY the Paris of negros..their Jollibee their has Spanish architecture...
Bacolod and Negros was the home of mga 'Batang Negros' during the Marcos Regime... Thats why they now hv the Masskara Festival,
…& now…they’re back. I know TPL doesn’t do politics, & actually I don’t really want to but my curiosity gets the best of me like often🐈⬛: I wonder how the area voted re that return or maybe seen as separate entities?
Before the year of Marcos dictatorship.,The economy of Negros and Bacolod were the richest and robust among the provinces in the Philippines.,unfortunately,the sad stories of hacienderos began during Mr.Marcos Sr regime in the 70s and early years of 80s.People Power revolution stopped his abusive one man rule..Democracy was reinstated during The Aquino Presidency which was favorable to all Negrenses.Sugar industry has recovered during President Corazon C.Aquino democratic Rule.
Hi.....
Lo
The mayor of Bacolod needs to clean the buildings of his city, they look so smoky/ dark, even the roads are dark colored from smug and uneven. Yes I hate places that have no well paved sidewalks( sorry for the strong words but pedestrian should always be prioritized over cars). Trash is bad too, infront of the entrance is trash yet there is an entrance fee, wow, bad. Sorry again but Iloilo's baywalk looks more expensive than Bacolod looking cheap. Bacolod needs to be flushed with cleaning chemical..LOL..
We see the progress they are making, it's the early days of a transformation. It's not easy I'm sure and not overnight
@herfegonzales9546I think she's just saying the truth. Truth really hurts..
@@aprealstatetraveletc.. and the river of Iloilo belongz to most polluted ? so they are not telling the truth? google it pls
I think the issues you are blabbing about are nationwide and not only specific to Bacolod, if you know what I mean. However, I agree with you. They need to be cognizant of the trash around them in Bacolod.
