First time to Attend MassKara Festival? 4 Things to Know to Have a Great Time

It’s October again, which means it’s that time of the year for the biggest and grandest festival in Bacolod! With the theme “Bacolod, City of Smiles,” MassKara Festival is now in its 40th year. A wide array of activities await tourists and visitors—concerts, competitions, marathons, food trips, street dances, and a lot more!

Exciting, right?

1. Stock up on some knowledge about Bacolod and the festival itself

To save you the hassle of getting lost and not knowing what to do or where to eat, research first. This way, you can plan your itinerary which can save you lots of time and money. Also, search for weather conditions so you can prepare yourself well.

Another thing is to expose yourself to the background of MassKara Festival so that you don’t just enjoy the festivities, you also learn a thing or two about the history of Bacolod.

2. Pack the right stuff

Thousands of tourists visit Bacolod for the festival, so expect crowds at every turn. Make sure to bring comfortable clothes and shoes. You don’t need to flex your diamond necklace or gold earrings to have a good time.

Bring extra money for those unexpected merch you might want to buy. And don’t forget your sunscreen in case you go on a day stroll or food trip!

3. Go with a friend

The best way to enjoy the festival is to celebrate it with someone else. Going to Bacolod with a friend is ideal especially if you’re not familiar with the place. It will also save you some cash if you share food, transportation, and accommodation with someone.
Besides, who’s going to take those Instagram-worthy shots of yours who knows your flattering angles if not your friend, right?

4. Stay in a convenient accommodation

After all the joy and cheers of the festival, you would want to have a good night sleep so you’d have more fun the next day. Staying in an accommodation with sea and mountain views is a good consideration if you want a comforting feel.

With this, Acacia Hotel Bacolod is an excellent choice for accommodation. This newly opened hotel which boasts of its warm hospitality may be what you need for a complete MassKara experience. The hotel is also close to the port and popular attractions, making it accessible and convenient if you want to explore more of Bacolod.

Want To Know If He or She’s The One? Take Them On A Weekend Date In Manila

Manila, Philippines – Did you know that aside from shopping and sightseeing, Manila is a great place to know if your current partner is for keeps? So you’ve been dating for quite some time and you’re thinking about kicking things up to the next level, but you really want to make sure. There’s a sure-fire way to know if they are worth it.

Bill Murray once famously said: “If you have someone who you think is The One, take that person and travel around the world. Go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK, and you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.”

Manila, even with all its historical significance and undeniable charm, is not a walk in the park. Fortunately, with these tips on the things to do in Manila you can enjoy a weekend date with your partner while evaluating if he or she could be The One:

1.Food adventures in Binondo

You and your partner should enjoy the same things like eating together. Do they have allergies? Do they chew with their mouth open? Would they share their food? Would they yell at you when they are starving? You need to know these things. You’ll never run out of restaurants and holes-in-the wall to explore here in Binondo. All you need is time, patience, and a large appetite.

2. Art appreciation at National Museum

Aside from talking about how their day went and the latest on that TV show you both like, do they appreciate art and other fine things? Do they think its boring? Can they take cool photos for your IG? These are important things! Check out the National Museum’s social media pages for the latest exhibitions and gallery hours.

3. History lesson in Luneta, Intramuros

The climate in Manila could only be just two things: hot and sticky or dripping wet. Watch them react to the smoke and traffic while strolling along the city’s most famous and historical landmarks. Do they pay attention? Are they easily annoyed? Do they complain much? These are just some things to ponder.

4. Party along Escolta

In the daytime, Escolta is a busy strip with interesting shops and old buildings. At night, it turns into a hip block party where you can buy stuff from local artisans, eat gourmet street food, and drink cheap booze while dancing in the street. Will your partner enjoy the environment?  Or would they be a party pooper and ask to just go back to your hotel? Will they check out other people when they think you’re not looking? There’s only one way to find out and this is the right place to do it.

5. Let Manila Bay do its magic

If after all of the things you went through on this trip, you still like them and they still like you then lucky for you both. Sit in silence along Manila Bay and enjoy the sunset and the breeze with your partner-in-crime. Good luck!

ABOUT SWISS-BELHOTEL BLULANE

Set in an impressive 17-storey building, the hotel offers 171 rooms and suites that provides modern Asian-inspired design and the latest amenities enabling travelers to unwind in comfort and style. There are two excellent restaurants, a casual coffee shop, a serene spa and extensive conference and banqueting space, including a grand ballroom, making Swiss-Belhotel Blulane ideally suited to every occasion.

5 Things I've Realized After Visiting Bicol For The First Time

Legazpi City, Philippines - 'I should probably get a hotel in Legazpi, Albay or perhaps an AirBnb next time' is just one of the many things I told myself last time I went there. You see traveling to Bicolandia is no walk in the park, but it truly is one of the most beautiful places and most rewarding trips I have ever had. Here are other things I have discovered that could possibly help make Bicol more fun or at least easier for you if you plan on going there:

1. If you could afford to fly there... DO IT!

Yes, road trips are fun. That's until you find yourself sitting on a bus, bored out of your mind, for 12, maybe 14 hours and counting... then they're not that fun anymore. If you could afford the plane tickets, take that route. You will save yourself from unnecessary stress and exhaustion. You'll even have more time and energy to enjoy the trip.

2. Do yourself a favor and drop by a Bigg's Diner

One of my greatest regrets is not getting the chance to stop by Bicol's most famous fast food place. Bigg's has been around since 1983 and has grown to 16 branches in the Bicol area alone. They have that distinct and nostalgic early Americana vibe and a home-style fried chicken and milkshake recipe that Bicolanos love. Luzon is slowly catching up with the announcement of a new branch opening soon in Fairview, QC.

3. Laing is the essential dish. Period.

In Manila, Bicol Express gets top billing. But you haven’t tasted laing (shredded taro leaves with meat or seafood cooked in thick coconut milk spiced with chili, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, ginger, and shrimp paste.) until you’ve had it in Bicol. In addition, foodies looking for the best local fare would probably not believe this, but they’re better off asking locals to cook for them instead. I’m sure there are great restaurants here, but ask any Bicolano and they’ll tell you this: the best local dishes are cooked at home.

4. The Mayon is truly stunning

Growing up in the 90’s, kids were bombarded with images of the country’s most iconic volcano. It’s in the history books, postcards, and posters in the walls in every classroom all over the archipelago. Most Filipinos probably haven’t seen it, but it is definitely ingrained in everyone’s consciousness. Needless to say, I was more than ready to face Mount Mayon… or was I? Nothing could have prepared me from the majestic sight of that perfect cone and that equally breathtaking Cagsawa Ruin on the foreground. Everything was surreal. I just wished the skies weren’t overcast that day. I also wish our group didn’t ask those hack photographers take souvenir photos. 5. Go on a side trip to the beach Most of Bicol is landlocked. So you have to drive all the way to Camarines Sur to get your dose of Vitamin Sea. It is, without a doubt, worth it.

BONUS TIP:

Where to stay in Legazpi, Albay? Check out The Oriental Legazpi. After exploring the Legazpi City tourist spots, you can look forward to having a rejuvenating massage at the outdoor spa or unwinding by the infinity pool overlooking Mayon Volcano. Fall in love with Mayon's beauty right in front of you as you take a break for the day.

Guests are sure to have a unique gastronomic experience at our hotel in Legazpi, Albay. Indulge in a variety of international dishes as well as local food favorites including Laing Bagnet, Pasta Bicolandia and the famous Bicol Express. At The Oriental Legazpi, you are greeted with a choreographed dance and a welcoming smile. Serving you with passion and dedication throughout your stay, the hotel staff will make you feel at home at The Oriental.

Beyond the majestic view of Mayon Volcano from the hotel, The Oriental Legazpi brings you closer to its beauty through the hotel's trusted ATV tour partners. Ride an all-terrain vehicle and experience coursing through volcanic rocks, creeks, and paths along the mountainside. An exhilarating 45-minute ATV ride will take you to the Mayon Lava Rocks where you can enjoy hiking and ziplining, perfect for capping off your ATV adventure.

5 Ways to Plunge into the Waters of the Philippine Islands
