went to bacolod 4x last year 2014.. was not so impressed with masskara (considering im a native cebuano), i was expecting it would TOP out sinulog festivals but it didnt, but overall it was a fun experience.. so love the people in bacolod, friendly warm accomodating, and they go extra mile to help out a stranger as well... love the FOOD chickn inasal namit gid.. if your in BACOLOD, try their CALEA super lami and MAMBUKAL (hotspring and falls).. will go back to bacolod if i have time again. miss the place,
masskara is different from sinulog in a way that its just a festival, merry-making, street dancing, parties minus the religious related traditions and stuff. there is no patron saint or any symbolic image in the festival, just a way of donning/showcasing masks that symbolizes the diverse and happy faces of bacolod folks. the city is dubbed as "the city of smiles" after all.
dont get me wrong.. im not comparing the festivities or the tradition, im just merely citing the exp i had to which is MORE FUN.. I still love masskara and the city it self... i know the difference between sinulog and masskara, its just the FUN and the party i mean that i might have forgot to stress out... my opinion doesnt speak for the entire people, its merely my opinion..
3 things that i missed bacolod, cansi (sharyns), piaya (kanang duol sa SM samot na ug init pa) and inasal (kana pung duol sa SM )
pila ka-hours ang byahe from bacolod - dumaguete mga boss?
