Do you recall the time when...

Bacolod was so small that we practically knew everyone in town? That time when sugar was booming and Negrenses were "roaring"?

Mga "mayayabang" ang mga taga-Negros, hambal sang mga Tagalog as evidenced by our infamous "fly-to-Manila-party-all-night-return-to Bacolod-the next-day" capers. If you think that was enough cause to create a riot, just imagine what sort of a ruckus it was when one Bacoleno took a plane trip home to Bacolod bringing along his new Harley-Davidson motorcycle as checked-in baggage. Rather than ship the bike via Negros Navigation, our friend bought up all the equivalent plane seats which would allow him to check in the Harley as an overnight bag.

The sport of that day if you can still recall was pelota. Did you know that there were more private pelota courts in Negros than all the private and public pelota courts in Metro Manila combined?

You're beginning to get the picture aren't you? In the heydays of sugar, just a little bit before the not a very nice person/traitor/crony Ambassador sold us out to the Ilocano dictator, a Piper Cub was only P120,000 and d**n there were a whole lot of Piper Cubs sitting at the Bacolod Aero Club with their owners constantly revelling over Fundador.

And nary was there a vessel of Negros Navigation which sailed from the port of Manila without a gleaming, brand new Mercedes-Benz on its deck raring to hit Bacolod's streets.

After years of being assimilated by the Cebuano culture, my Negrense pride still lingers in me. Thanks for sharing the pictures gabgab. It's very nostalgic.
