I just came home from a 7-day vacation in Bacolod and Iloilo City. I was with 2 of my photography friends for the MassKara Festival. This was my first out-of-Luzon trip, my first time to ride an airplane (via Cebu Pacific) and my first time to ride a fast craft (Weesam).
During the past 7 days, I was able to do and visit the following:
-
Attend the 33rd MassKara Festival (both the school and barangay category) and 75th Charter Anniversary of the City of Smiles.
-
Attend a photo-shoot organized by the Camera Club of Negros (CCN) at the Bacolod Murcia Milling Co.
-
Took pictures of San Sebastian Cathedral and Lupit Church (Sacred Heart Shrine).
-
Stayed at 2 inns: Regina Carmeli and Pension Bacolod.
-
Ate at Organics
-
Visited the heritage houses of Silay including the Balay Negrense
-
Ate cakes at Calea, Cansi at Sharyn's, Bacolod Chicken Inasal, La Paz Batchoy, etc.
-
Took pictures of the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol and the Lagoon.
-
Visited the Chapel of Cartwheels and a nearby heritage house.
-
Visited the Church of the Angry Christ and Immaculate Conception at Victorias.
-
Took pictures of the Redemptorist Church and Queen of Peace in Bacolod.
-
Attended the Electric MassKara, which is similar to Higantes Festival.
-
Traveled from Iloilo City to Bacolod City and back via Weesam fast craft.
-
Visited 10 churches in the province of Iloilo including the famous Miag-ao Church

Had a photo-walk around Iloilo City.
