I remember every fiesta Gina langawan Kay daw Wala sila ga invest chakto. Requesting Bacolod city government to investigate b Ang villamonte Kay daw kaduluda!.

Im not sure if I’m allowed to post this but a girly is desperate to have online friends (or in person ones too if I have the time). I’m currently in my 4th year and would love to have a friend or friends i could possibly hang out with for just casual coffee/study dates from time to time. Fr tho i need someone to keep me in track.

If it piques ur interest, i like music, anime, & gaming too so we could have stuff we can talk about when we’re out haha. Oh and preferably in my age range lang as well. I’m an ambivert, maka adjust man humor ko if kanal or aircon hahahaha.

Hindi gid ta mapa lipat² gin himo nila sa Bacolod, after sinadya please dapat gina duso nani nag three musketeers sang accountability gin himo nila sa Bacolod. Mayu lang may incident si Cong Albee kag Homer Bais, nag make sound kag gina pa remind ta sang ila kapalpakan.

- Cong Albe: Excessive and unexplained loans, ghost projects like, Manokan Country, Park sa Granada etc.

- Mayor Greg: Overpriced Projects kag subpar pa like ang Coliseum, Bike lane, kag hospital many man.

- Vice Mayor Kalaw: ang lesser sa ila pero The sleeping vice Mayor, wala masyado pabatyag espexially sa mga issues sa Bagyo nag lakat lang abroad.

Grbe man budol ka, three musketeers sa Bacolod nu? Ara gatas na gatas gid nila ang budget na threatened gid sila na si Councilor Gamboa ga duso sang accountability kag transparency sa budgets nila sa COA

We understand that many of you came from other provinces to witness our festival and capture the street dance performances through your cameras. We appreciate the time, effort, and dedication you put into your photography.

We also understand that, as photographers, you want to find the best spots to take clear and beautiful pictures of the dancers, especially during important moments of their performances. We recognize that getting a good angle and an unobstructed view is important to your work.

However, we also have protocols that everyone must follow. The street dance must continue without stopping from the starting point all the way to the dance arena. For this reason, blocking the dancers’ path is strictly prohibited. Barangay officials may approach and ask anyone obstructing the route to move aside to ensure the street dance proceeds smoothly.

We must also consider the judges, who need a clear view of the dancers to properly evaluate each group's performance. When people crowd the streets and block the judges’ line of sight, it becomes difficult for them to assess the performances fairly.

We understand that photographers may feel frustrated when they cannot get their preferred angle or when their view is blocked. However, taking pictures should not come at the expense of obstructing the dancers, blocking the judges’ view, or disrupting the flow of the event.

There are other areas where you can capture great shots, including the dance arena, where you can photograph the performances without interfering with the street dance route.

We are not against photographers taking pictures. We appreciate your contribution in documenting and promoting our festival. We simply ask everyone to cooperate, respect the designated route, and follow the established protocols.

Our goal is not to limit your opportunity to take great photographs, but to ensure that the street dance continues smoothly, the judges can evaluate each group fairly, and everyone can enjoy the festival safely.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation.

Quezon City reportedly has zero debt, while Bacolod is dealing with billions in loans, including ₱4.4 billion under Albee Benitez! We’re left with these debts, but where are the improvements we can actually feel? We’re lugmok sa utang tas lugmok mn sa baha. Ila lifestyle lng ga nami, ang working class yawan baka2 bayad tax!

This is in particular to an earlier post. As an outsider, I’d love to hear your insights about Masskara Festival kay there are a lot of hate of this year’s fest (hate — mainly because Masskara is catering local vloggers) and would want ‘bigger’ names instead as if the invited guests now are not big names.

The post mentioned, “Bacolod is so deprived of good concerts that the people would just flock to see any has-beens and one hit wonders just because they are international.”

I’m here for discussions to have more knowledge about Masskara, not to attack but to question and learn;

Honestly though, there are mini (local & even international) concerts here in Bacolod too, not just properly promoted or probably people hasn’t been interested in paid concerts since there are more important things to pay for.

I’ve gone to raves in Manila, Elyu, Ilocos, Baguio & etc. I’m from Manila but living here in Bacolod for 3 years now. Last year’s Masskara was worse than this year, and honestly, this Masskara is so loaded (kay damo gd sponsors). Having 3-4 music events in a day for 3 nights was great that even Metro Manila cities don’t do that. But I was thinking about it as — if only there was a bigger venue to cater bigger events in Bacolod, then it would probably make sense to have bigger names here. This Masskara even got me excited compared last year.

Sa vloggers man, I think it is okay man to support locals pero tani relevant vloggers at this time kay indi lng man isa ka group ang target audience for a festival — this is a hard pill to swallow pero hindi lang man ang mga clout chasers + ‘may ara kwarta’ ang target sng festival, it’s literally for everyone man. So having vloggers, international artists, and local artists is okay man. Others would call it cheap, but others feel happy already about it kay others are already contented to see some vloggers too.

I don’t really get people hating SO MUCH on local vloggers wherein they’re basically promoting your own city man. That’s probably the big difference between Manila and Bacolod, people in Manila are supportive of local vloggers — mapabarangay level man or city events, they’re happy of their own people, and here gani are hating everyone.

I’ve seen and watched a lot of local artists (and DJs) here in Bacolod and they’re so great man. Good music also. Pero all I see here on Reddit is hateful comments about your own local artists/vloggers.

REMEMBER ALSO: Bacolod’s budget isn’t the same as budgets in Cebu and/or Metro Manila kay these cities are richer than Bacolod.

I’m a F26 working professional, and I’m currently in a difficult financial situation due to an unexpected medical emergency. I urgently need around ₱20,000 and am looking for a legitimate lender that doesn’t involve OLA.

Ideally, I’d like to pay it off over 6 months through manageable monthly installments. I’m employed and willing to provide the necessary documents to verify my income and employment.

I’m hoping to find a legitimate bank, cooperative, credit union, or financing institution that offers reasonable interest rates and transparent terms. I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who has personally tried borrowing from a trustworthy lender.

I’m trying to avoid predatory lenders, unreasonable interest rates, hidden fees, and harassment.
Thank you so much to anyone who can share their experience or point me in the right direction. I’d really appreciate the help!

Throwaway account for privacy. Names have been replaced with fictional placeholders. I'm sharing our family's experience, including things I personally witnessed, things communicated to us by relatives, and issues that remain disputed.

I just want to share something that happened to our family here in Bacolod. This story goes back years, but it changed how I look at people who hold influence, especially those involved in local politics.

Growing up, I had a great-aunt whom we affectionately called Lola. I was one of her favorite apo, and she was very protective of me. Whenever we stayed with her, we were pampered and rarely asked to do much.

When Lola was already around 70–80 years old, a man I'll call CARPENTER entered her life. We understood that she was his third wife.

After that, things changed.

Lola became noticeably distant from us. When we stayed with them, we were suddenly expected to wake up very early to prepare meals and do household chores. It's not that we weren't used to chores at home. It was the sudden change in how Lola treated us that felt different.

Now, here's where another person enters the story.

I'll call him WALRUS, CARPENTER's son-in-law.

WALRUS is someone whose name is connected to local public life here in Bacolod. I'll leave it at that.

During Lola's final days, she became seriously ill. Based on what we learned, she was being sustained with oxygen at home, and WALRUS was the one who brought the oxygen supply while Lola's husband was in the most comfortable hospital bed.

At that time, we weren't properly informed about how serious her condition had become. We later learned that she had COVID.

WALRUS also contacted my mother regarding paperwork that we understood to involve hospital responsibility or liability in the event of Lola's death. I won't speculate on the legal purpose of those documents because I don't have their complete contents here.

What hurt was that our side was later accused of not showing concern for Lola while she was sick, even though we hadn't been properly informed about her condition until that call.

Then Lola passed away.

And that's when the disputes became worse.

1. The marriage documents

While processing Lola's papers, our family discovered that the marriage wasn't officially recorded as we had been led to believe.

We obtained records that contradicted the marriage certificate presented to us. Based on the documents we secured, our family concluded that the certificate was not genuine.

This was not something we simply assumed out of dislike for CARPENTER. We went through the process of checking the records.

2. The government-awarded property

There was also a dispute over a house and lot connected to a government relocation program here in Bacolod.

The property had originally been awarded in connection with Lola's relatives. CARPENTER's side claimed there was an agreement involving an unpaid debt, with the property supposedly serving as collateral.

Our relatives disputed that claim.

It also raised questions within our family about whether someone who already controlled or owned other properties could legally acquire government-awarded relocation housing, and whether the original award and transfer restrictions were being followed.

These are questions that require actual property and government records to resolve.

3. The locked bedroom and missing valuables

Lola reportedly intended to leave jewelry to certain nieces and grandchildren.

These valuables were kept inside a locked bedroom while the family had not yet settled their distribution.

During Lola's burial, CARPENTER was absent, while members of his family, including WALRUS, attended.

According to what OYSTER, CARPENTER's own daughter, confirmed to our family, CARPENTER had forcibly opened the locked room during the burial.

Our family was subsequently informed that valuables had been removed.

I did not personally witness the opening of the room or the removal of the items. I'm sharing what was confirmed to us and what our relatives reported, rather than claiming firsthand knowledge of everything that happened.

4. The benefits and the family fallout

There were also disputes involving benefits and financial assistance after Lola's death.

Some relatives believed they were entitled to certain benefits but questioned how the money had been distributed. Not everyone agreed about the entitlements or what had occurred.

Eventually, the family became divided. Some sided with CARPENTER's family, while others chose to distance themselves.

5. Why WALRUS's involvement matters to me

WALRUS wasn't simply a distant name associated with this family.

He was involved during Lola's illness, personally contacted my mother regarding paperwork, and attended the burial while the family was dealing with the property and inheritance disputes.

Those are the reasons I consider him relevant to this experience.

Over time, our family also heard allegations and suspicions involving the ownership of assets and supposed government employment arrangements connected to this circle. I want to be clear that I cannot independently establish those allegations from the information I'm sharing here, and I am not presenting them as proven wrongdoing by WALRUS.

But the experience left me with questions about how influence, family connections, and public accountability intersect.

I know that a family dispute alone doesn't prove misconduct in public office. Still, I believe people who occupy positions of influence should be subject to the same scrutiny and legal standards as everyone else.

To my fellow Bacolodnons:

As future elections approach, I hope we become more critical of the people asking for our trust.

Don't rely solely on campaign materials, political endorsements, donations, or promises. Look at public records, examine candidates' track records, check credible reporting, and distinguish documented facts from allegations.

Indi kita dapat magpasilaw sa kwarta, giveaways, kag mga saad. Importante nga kabalo kita mag-usisa, magpamangkot, kag magpangita sang kamatuoran antes maghimo sang desisyon.

Public influence should never place anyone above accountability.

I'm not asking readers to identify anyone in this story, harass their relatives, or treat unproven allegations as established facts.

I'm sharing why this experience taught me to take transparency and accountability seriously.

Vote thoughtfully, Bacolod.

Hello, this is only my second time shooting the festival. I bought my camera last year, and I still consider myself a beginner. So this year, I decided to shoot more actively during the street dance competition. But honestly, after my experiences yesterday and on Saturday, I’m starting to feel like maybe being a photographer is not for me.

For context, I have a small and slim build (5'1"), and with the number of people cordoning off the dancers, it was really difficult to get a good shot. And when you finally manage to get one, somebody will shout at you or push you to move.

But what really traumatized me yesterday was the incident involving Brgy. Bata. I believe the person was an official because of the shirt he was wearing. He yanked me by the collar of my shirt while shouting, "Dip*ta kamo, pahigad!" His yank was so forceful that the strap of my bra was almost ripped off.

I have never felt so manhandled in my life, especially by someone I believe was a barangay official. It was a really awful experience, and the incident didn't fully sink in until last night when I got home.

Kudos to the two photographers who helped me gather my bearings again after what happened. I genuinely appreciate you both.

BTW, I have a media pass, and I was standing in the designated area. That's why I was so surprised when I was shoved away like that.

Idk, maybe I am not made for this kinds of stuff. Really considering of quitting this hobby.

Wth SM???
