Bacolod has topped many lists of “Best places to Live” in the Philippines over the years. Today, it is a hub of education, sports, information technology and business process management operations.

Bacolod City has had a long and colourful past, which has left it one of the large cities in Philippines with a thoroughly diverse population, with a mix of Tagalog-speaking locals as well as persons descending from native tribes, who have lived there since prehistoric times. The Masskara festival is a celebration of the unity and friendship between the peoples of the city. The city is also known as a high-intensity sports centre, with a few world class sports facilities within its borders.

Bacolod provides visitors with a number of shopping districts and malls for an upmarket shopping experience. Among its many attractions are the Capitol Park & Lagoon, famous for its sculptures of water buffalo, and the Bacolod Public Plaza, which hosts the finale of each annual Masskara festival. San Sebastian Cathedral, Panaad Park and Stadium, and the Paglaum Sports Complex are among the city’s architectural attractions.
