    @EvSerenade. Nice recommendations…they did tour the Ruins & other sites in prior Bacolod visits/vlogs. I remember Michael has said he is not much of a sweet tooth, but I requested in the past a review & visit to V&W’s (Victoria & Williams) eatery in Bacolod. I saw another vlogger, a Filipino chef!, talk about it but I would enjoy seeing/hearing Michael’s tour. I had wanted Bianca’s opinion too as the place is famous for its ensaymada …🥺 But I’m not sure if /when she will return there. I think Michael will visit Bacolod frequently, if he remains in area. Michael probably all ready left Bacolod, but just a suggestion to tuck away for next time perhaps….

    Careful in Bacolod, there are plenty of "colorum" taxicabs there from the time you step at bredco. There was this turko-looking person in office attire who pleaded to take his colorum car as it was already dark and he still had no passenger to drive for. I answered that my family member was fetching me. And crossing the street or driving your car, a superfast car can suddenly swerve to cut you beside your driver's seat. This happen to us several times while traveling on the streets in the city.

    I absolutely detest taxi drivers who take advantage of all passengers. What they do not understand is that they operate due to a government franchise which can be revoked if they commit these violations.
