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.
