Bacolod

Bacolod stretches across a land area of diverse topography at 105 meters elevation, featuring commercial districts, residential neighborhoods, and agricultural zones near sugar plantations.

The settlement, established in 1755, transformed from a small hill community into a significant administrative center during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines.

The MassKara Festival fills the streets every October with dancers wearing decorated masks, accompanied by music performances and food markets throughout the city.

Transportation within Bacolod includes numerous jeepneys and taxis operating along main roads, connecting major commercial areas to residential districts and tourist locations.

Local restaurants prepare chicken inasal using traditional grilling methods with a marinade of vinegar, calamansi, garlic, and annatto oil specific to this region.
