Bacolod, Iloilo and Guimaras Island are three places in the Western Visayas that any traveler should visit when exploring Philippines.
Bacolod and its nearby cities Silay and Talisay in Negros Occidental are truly a threshold of our country's heritage and culture because of so many ancestral homes showcasing Filipino, Spanish and American architecture.
Iloilo is likewise that a day is not enough to visit all of the ancestral homes! Guimaras Island is blessed with so many blue-green colored beaches and world-class mangoes.
Travelling to Bacolod and Iloilo then back are through fast craft rides. The shipping line I used was the Supercat. The service is very efficient and you can buy tickets at a discounted price if you buy it round trip.
So if you are going to these places, I suggest you stay at Ong Bun Pension House, one of the most affordable and located in the commercial districts of Iloilo and Bacolod that gives you quick access to seaports, public transportation and airports.
One thing that I highly recommend and that I wished I could have done in my previous trips is dropping by at the local government's tourism office for information. Believe me the information you got from googling prior to your trips is nothing compared to a million tips they will give you!
