Flight DG 8730 Tigerair Philippines
Bound Manila to Bacolod
Welcome City of Silay Negros Occidental
Known Bacolod or City of Smile Philippines
Its my First time to visit bacolod City, In behalf of this place is near to my City which is Iloilo, where i'am born and native of it, So much Glad at last I reach this beautiful astonish City of Bacolod. Arrival to the airport you can choose a transportation from Taxi Cab, Van or public transportation the airport shuttle.
For Shuttle expenses from airport to silay city to terminal it cost 35.00 pesos only. then from Silay terminal you can ride jeepney to bacolod cost only 8.00 pesos jeepney (Banago or Shopping. But when you are their its always deference.What the driver ask for the passenger is 100.00, just feel bad because they charge much, even I knew already the amount, its hard to make argument with them,
Good Advice :Ride airport shuttle cost 35.00 pesos jump off to terminal, then ride a jeepney to bacolod city that will not cost 50.00. that is the best transportation that i suggest. unlike i did was worst pay 100.00 from airport to bacolod town plaza.

My Trip for 3 days escapade in Bacolod
First day
Explore the Sipaway Island-if their is good beach to explore in sipaway??? From town plaza take a jeepney with signage libertad or bata, ask the driver to drop you at south terminal going to san carlos cost only 8.00 pesos.From Port you need to a boat ride, around 15 min and it cost 15.00 pesos only, you will rich the sipaway island. I not yet explore the whole Island, their is one beach not yet visited in sipaway the Whispering Palms Island, this beach is private and you are going to stay for a night, I did not visited because my plan is day tour Island hopping only, and the location is very far possible it take 30min and it cost 350.00 pesos for motorbike ride. Wow so expensive, no more question just ask him to go back, beside i read about the rates it cost 1,500 per 1 night per room. For me a solo traveler is not good for budget tight, so i decided to explore and look around using motorbike (habal habal).
When we visit some beaches sad to said not much empress and look another beaches and so on, not have spirit to take a picture, or maybe its because of the charfes they offer, even all I knew it cost 20.00 going to besilica beach, then try the 3 more beaches but still not empress so the outcome go back to bacolod. The Sipaway Island don't have any transportation only motor bike. I just taken some pics of Coconut tree, kids playing around and the Giant (balete) tree. After Exploring sipaway island, I go back to bacolod city and explore the whole city since time is wasted.

For day 1 best OPTION - Take Cadiz City to explore Lakawon Island- It takes 1 and 30 minutes from Bacolod city to Cadiz if Your from Silay sure it takes 1 hour only. I did not try this route but hoping if take chances to visit bacolod I will do this route.I hear ed about abundant marine products and white sand like Lakawon Island beach resort. This is the best I suggest and doin to explore next time i visit bacolod.
Since my Sipaway Island is not goes will, need to back to bacolod city I lost 600 0r 700.00 pesos.for that day. So need to plan my next day tour.
Day 2 Exploring Bacolod
1. The Mambukal FALLS
2. The Ruins
Mambukal 7th falls trekking. who did not know about mambukal, when you visit bacolod you should not miss this place its part of government ordinance to take good care of this nature. They charge entrance for 50 pesos, they give you a tour guide no charge but you can give any amount you give voluntary, but sometimes it comes charges during conversation because they serve free and they don't receive any salary in the resort, so if your good heart you cant leave with out giving any amount, sometimes they tell if no one give money they dont have money to buy any food for families..or maybe it defends on your tour guide.
HOW TO REACH MAMBUKAL - From Plaza ride jeepney shopping or bago cost 8.00 pesos then buss to mambukal cost 35.00 pesos only. 50.00 for entrance and also 50.00 for other outdoor event like swimming on deep pool, hot spring, japanese hotspring, hanging bridge.You can stay at the resort for whole day if you want. if you want to take over night they have room and villas to stay also and the cheapest cost is 600.00 pesos or 14 $ per night if you wanted to stay some cool and elegant room its cost also little high price, so it defends what you prefered where to stay. If you want to explore the ruins you can hop on the buss last trip to city is around 2:00pm, so check you time or else you left buy the buss.
THE ruins
This place was masterpiece of spanish colonial. The ruins have a story behind that we should know about the greatest love of Don
