Going to Iloilo from Bacolod:

I prefer to choose 2go Travel when you are going to Bacolod or to Iloilo because this fastcraft are better maintained and I can see out the windows. They have also airconditioned rooms and clean comfort rooms.

My Trip from Bacolod to Iloilo via 2go Travel

Since I want to drop by in my hometown (Mambusao) so I decided to get off Bacolod to Iloilo then Romblon to visit the Carabao Island for 1 day that was my plan. There are 3 companies operating from Bacolod to Iloilo: 2go Travel, Ocean Fast Ferries and Weesam Express so I choose the 2go Travel because of their facilities, faster service and no hassle at the same time. Travel time is about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You may take a tricyle from SM City Bacolod, which cost you P10 pesos then ask the driver to drop you off at the Fast Craft Terminal of Superferry and now also known as 2go Travel. All the 2Go people I talked to were pleasant and helpful.The seas were smooth and the trip was uneventful. Good value for money as far as my experience goes. A pleasant experience compared to the Ro-Ro trips I've taken before. I arrived in Iloilo City about 5:30 PM and took a separate bus ride to Mambusao.   

A Day at Bacolod Provincial Capitol Park and Lagoon

The area has an artificial pool with dancing fountain at the middle of the park. I think it is nice to go there during night time because of the colorful light and a famous landmark of the 2 giant scupture carabaos or water buffalo which the areas is used for jogging, aerobics, school dance rehearsals, promenaders, arnis and martial arts practitioners and the feeding the tilapias in the lagoon. Today the park has become a popular spot for local families to hold their picnic. Most of the jeepneeys are passing here and you can connect to other great destinations in Bacolod. If you are hungry, no need to worry because at the front of this lagoon you’ll be choosing different fastfood chains, restaurants and carinderias.  You will probably enjoy the place.
