I've lived here for seven years and it suits me perfectly - lots of good amenities without the big city pressure. It's a good place to live for sure. Not so sure that I agree with the young lady when she says there aren't many brownouts..lol, but I guess in comparison to other places it is more stable than most. If any foreigner is thinking of moving here, I would say...come and visit a few times and look for yourself and judge whether you can see yourself living here. ..that's what I did. A city with an airport and a port is very useful....nice areas to visit surrounding Bacolod - lovely countryside. Not much in terms of beaches unless to go to Sipalay or Lakawon, but really....you have most of the things you need here.

That was a nice interview. Nothing wrong with precautions for Roger's father surgery.

I have a big map of the Philippines 🇵🇭; Bacolod (the Capital city of Negros Occidental and the largest city in the entire island of Negros) and Dumaguete (the Capital city of Negros Oriental and the second largest city in the entire Negros Island) are my two favourite cities in the Visayas Region besides Cebu city. I really like this vlog because it touchbase on life in Bacolod, I also like the vlog about life in Dumaguete from Sunshine Shoulders. I can't wait to tour Visayas the next time I come to the Philippines. The Visayas Region really look like the great place to be. Thanks Roger and Ismi 👍

They don't cultivate fish at the lagoon..they just put fishes to add attractions..

Thanks 🙏 for the video , my girlfriend lives in bacolod and im visiting in august. Should be a fun trip 🙂

Very nice in bacolod . While there you can easily travel to guimaras Island another beautiful place not many tourists nice places to stay clean beaches . Philippines is blessed with natural wonders. Winter is coming here in Australia think I better get my ticket booked now

I just missed Bacolod because I used to stay there for a year. 😭

I used to play in that lagoon in front of the Capitol in the mid 70s. My brother was born in Bacolod in 74, me in Iloilo in 72.

My favorite type of video. I feel like I’m there. Do more like this one. Thanks!

What a wonderful interviewer and interviewees, again I see Philippines people are generally good people.

👍🏻 nice place to check out and venture Ismi and Roger Salamat 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

Good advice thank you

Hello Roger & Ismi, noticed you are wearing a mask in the introduction and throughout the video, which I hope is simply a precaution. Please, don't tell me there's a sudden resurgence of Covid after they just opened the Philippine borders two months ago? I understand there still may be mask requirements In public locations. I am planning a trip to Cebu in May 2022 (next month). Thank you!

wow i saw my car 😂😂😂 I didn't know i was recorded😂😂😂

Woulld like to visit. Maybe soon.

Great video, really enjoy the ones out and about in the local areas, seeing the sights and people. After watching 100's, maybe 1000's of videos by now from many different vloggers, one thing I've noticed, in vlogs from Filipino's it looks like all the locals don't pay much attention to you and turn away when they see the camera, but when it's a foreigner, they're all happy and smiling, waving and talking to them. Might be a good social experiment to try if you know a foreigner that'll be willing to participate, you walk through a market and see what kind of reactions and interaction you get, then have the foreigner go through the same market a bit later and see what they get and compare the 2.

I'm retiring to kabankalan with my wife and kids

Nice video guys! 👍

It is a midsize urban tier with amenities , medical infrastructure , fast internet service . Looking for adventures , Mambukal hot spring resorts, Lakawon beach in the North, snorkeling, scuba diving in the south of the province, Palapala, Manokan within the city are smorgasbord area, foods are available fresh for cooking if you want that kind of lifestyles, prices are within reach but most of all, the ambiance is a layed back yet modern city in the making, edit: North and South( 5 miles)are another interesting cities ,Silay, Talisay and Bago you will find century house, places where history are preserve for us to remind our history in the past. Seek and explore you will find it.Soon my living abode

Bacolod could modernize soon like cebu with the megaworld townships being built there

great video thanks for sharing your area and the people

I like the quiet . The two woman who were 30 are young also 😉 I really hoping to retire to a quiet place such as this. It’s to bad that you have to have masks back on.

I could probably ride a scooter there without fear of becoming a greasy spot on the pavement...Cebu I think not

Great Vlog Ismi. I pray your father's surgey goes well. 🙏🏿

Great video. My Filipina wife and I are considering moving there. Can you tell me if the Charito Heights Grananda area is Ok to settle in? Your reply would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Oh wow. We have a farm there in the mountains. We do sabong in the PH. Can't wait to back there again.

Beautiful city. I enjoyed the video. Prayers for all the family.

You don't crave for souvenirs 😂😂😂 not a fud

You're not well informed.. Capitol lagoon is not the only place surrounded with tall buildings.. Mandalagan area has the tall buildings of bacolod

My asawa's gaw's live in Bacolod.

NICE INTERVIEW GUYS I HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT WITH YOUR FATHER'S MEDICAL PROCEDURE 🙏 I HOPE YOU RECEIVED MY GIFT 💙

yung mode of transportation po ba sa bacolod affordable lang din po ba?

Hey!!! I was there!!! I stayed at the sadena hotel across the street

Hey those girls you interviewed that said the power was good. No brownouts. They be joking. The power is on and off all the time. If you want to experience it first stay at my gf house some hit summer night without power.

Hi guys, it seems like a very nice place. Are the rules about the masks different in San Carlos city? I ask because you guys never wear a mask in the park at home.

Planning to relocate to Bacolod. I'm from Manila. I have an opportunity to work there. Are there condos in the city? Also, is Bacolod as great as iloilo? In terms of food? Thanks!

Can you talk about rhe social services and requirements to be able to use them as a foreigner Salamate

Take off the mask please ..

Bye, 🤣
