Bacolod and the Good Life in Outreach Work



It is a joy to be in Bacolod, where life is good.

In this year’s Masskara Festival, everyone got to know this new tag line to promote Bacolod City as a prime destination for the good life and everything good that life has to offer in the City of Smiles. The city government has worked very hard to make this year’s festival a well-attended one. With all the festivities promoted daily all over Bacolod, you could palpably sense the good life in this city I have grown to cherish.

I am in my 5th year here in Bacolod. Since I came from Manila in 2007, many things have definitely changed. Infrastructure-wise, we have the new flyover. We have a new airport. There are more than a dozen new buildings that have become hotels and restaurants, plus offices to different business process outsourcing companies and foreign shops. And in this study center where I am staying, there are also new projects that are born and are interesting to sustain, promote and worthily support.
