Roadtrip - Bacolod to Boracay Island

If you plan to go to Boracay using the Bacolod or Iloilo route, I might say that it's pretty tiring, but it's all worth it.

First of all, prepare to buy 5-7 hours of your time depending on the bus that you want to take.

Bacolod - Iloilo - Boracay:  From Bacolod port, take the fast craft; it would take an hour and a half to go to Iloilo. I would suggest that you take the first trip. There are 3 shipping lines that you may want to choose, these are SuperCat, Weesam and Ocean Jet. These 3 fast crafts have promos (most of the time) and for me, I would take Weesam or SuperCat. Go first class if you want Weesam and prepare for about 500php for a round-trip ticket. They usually offer promos for round-trips and same goes with SuperCat. Take the first trip, for Weesam, they depart at 06:30 am and 06:00 am for SuperCat if you want an earlier trip.

Megaworld: The rise of Iloilo Business Park

May 6, 2011 - Megaworld Corp has broken ground on their new project in Iloilo on which we should call it as "Iloilo Business Park" located at the Old Airport of Iloilo on which they acquire in 2007 for P1.2 billion from our national government. The company would invest P2.5 Billion over the next 2 years. They would also fund the construction of the 12 storey Richmonde Tower and Hotel that would help boost the economy of Iloilo. 

This would house BPO offices on which the projection was about 24,000 seats and other commercial establishments that will occupy 200,000 square meters to add more jobs in our fellow Ilonggos.

Festive Walk is one of the projects that will also be completed in 2012.

Iloilo Business Park Plan:

Bacolod Call Centers

Major Call Centers in Bacolod City had already grown its roots to the ground. As far as I remember, it was 2006 where 2 Major Call Centers established its business, and the competition was very tough. These 2 BPO's stabilized the region as jobs were growing too fast, and that other big companies planned to put up a business here in Negros Occidental. In just 5 years time there were I think 7 or 8 known BPO companies who successfully launch their business. This really made Bacolod a well known city aside from other regional government competitors who are also working with its own growth.


Address: Robinsons Metro Bacolod, Araneta Street Singcang
Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 6100

Dinagyang 2011: Winners!!!

Hala Bira Iloilo!

Okay, I must say, this year's Dinagyang is one of the most number of local and international tourists and the most exciting event eh? Why? 'coz if you'll observe, you'll just nod and say "okay" He's right. And if you have not yet experienced Iloilo, well it's time to check your calendar, cancel your appointment on January 2012, bring your family and visit Iloilo. If you have decided to go to Iloilo next year, book your accommodation as early as now! kidding... I suggest that you should go for hotels within smallville area as you won't have problems in dragging yourself back to your room; either because you're tired or drunk.

Tips if you want to experience Dinagyang next year:

1. Book your accomodation as soon as possible.
2. Choose your hotels within the top spots for Dinagyang, within Smallville area (I suggest Smallville 21 or Westown) or near downtown (if you'd like easy access)
3. Buy your tickets for the Dinagyang early
4. Beat the clock to get seats if you want to join the food festival (If you want to go at SM City Car Park, I suggest you go early, most people there used some seats just to see the pyrolympics.)
5. Visit the tourist spots of Iloilo (If you still have time)
6. Oh, bring a hat or umbrella and don't forget your sunglass! =)
