the invasion of the eastern visayas
Last week, a seminar was conducted by the Office. I was luckily included in the team. It was the first time that I'd be going to Bacolod and Iloilo.
I dropped by Bacolod to conduct a hearing and then proceeded to Iloilo for the seminar. Of course, I had to see SM City Bacolod and taste la paz batchoy. Good thing my afternoon hearing was unnecessary that we could go to Iloilo at around lunch time.
When I arrived in Iloilo- I immediately went to the hotel. The seminar went smoothly with few administrative glitches of course. But we managed. On friday morning, we went to the market and bought boxes and boxes of delicacies. I have to remind myself that I need a spare hand for the Guimaras mangoes, which are known for their sweetness. In the end, I was not able to buy mangoes because I already have a lot to carry.
Bacolod and Iloilo are progressive cities in the Visayas, I love its people-- they are warm and helpful. And most importantly,they always have a smile for you.
It was a good trip, a fulfilling one in fact-- i mean visiting three provinces in one trip is really something, right? Guimaras is wonderful province with its beautiful beaches and islets. Going back is definitely in my itinerary.
See that picture? I took it on our way to Guimaras Islands. Enjoy!
