I’m off to Bacolod again!

Posted by Enrico Dee on February 4, 2009

By the time you read this post, I am already back in my dear hometown, Bacolod City.

I will be staying there until the weekend and currently plans to visit 2 sites that i have not visited for over 5 years already.

One of the sites I am planning to explore is the City of Victorias, known to be the home of Southeast Asia’s largest sugar refinery. It is also in this sweet city where a chapel of intriguing quality sits. The last time i went to Victorias was in 1995. And I was in Hish School then!

Another site I am planning to visit is Palmas de Mar a resort that is located right in the City of Bacolod. Plamas del Mar is a quick weekend getaway favored by the locals for its location, amenities and food.

I still have other plans but hopefully I can fit all of them in my schedule. Though I don’t really have to rush everything since I will be back here before the first half of the year ends.
