My wife and I had an unforgettable time alone at Bacolod. She initially hated the idea of going there, thinking there was nothing to see and do other than attend the wedding of my friend. After dining on the best chicken inasal at the Manukan, buying a mask and looking at furniture at the ANP Showroom, attending the beautiful wedding ceremony, dining on the best lechon and dessert during the reception, exploring the grand old houses of Silay, having a great conversation with the irrepressible Ramon Hofilena and seeing his impressive art collection, and then capping the weekend off with an overnight stay at the Punta Balata beach - I am sure the trip will now be part of our fondest memories. Besides, I also upgraded my Lakbayan score from D to C-!
