Dabawenyong Latagaw

It is October!!! and what better way to kick off this month is to book yourself and take a trip to the City of Smiles, Bacolod  City. Situated on the northern corridor of Negros Occidental, this Ilonggo-tongued metropolis is filled with historical landmarks, nature havens and has a soft spot for sweet-tooths alike. Masskara Festival is celebrated every 3rd weekend of October, this merrymaking event create a sea of beaming smiles inundating the streets of Bacolod, to get a little bit of history of the festival, a period of economic crisis catapulted the said celebration to bring the spirits up of the Bacolodnon and the rest is history. As for my personal experience, I really enjoyed Masskara and Bacolod City in fact, I fell in love with the people and the city, one of the best places I visited so far.

Last October 2012, I decided to make my first solo travel, I went to Dumaguete, a city situated southeastern tip in the island of Negros, before I embarked on that bold journey, I made a thorough research on what to-do's and where to-go's  known to many as the City of Gentle people, true enough people were really accommodating and warm I don't sense any intimidation to the people I met, one example will be the traveler's lodge that I stayed in, she just gave me a great discount if I am going to return along with my friends (wouldn't be that so perfect?!) Anyways, moving forward, I got a chance to cruise along the thoroughfares of the city. First stop, the Rizal Boulevard is said to be Jose Rizal's stopovers before ot headed to Dapitan, a lane of century old trees embellished the whole stretch where one can really enjoy the sea breeze and overlooking the island of Siquijor, within the boulevard you can find a strip of bars where you can a enjoy a bottle o
