The Philippines is known to be a happy country. Everywhere you go, you see people break into their warm smiles despite the hidden storms they need to weather. Jeepney drivers, security guards, peddlers, and your Pinoy folks are simply a ray of sunshine. But that’s not the country’s only pride. The Filipino culture is a mix of rich, vibrant, and spirited history and traditions, having a total of 42,000 festivals including both major and minor events that the locals so wholeheartedly celebrate.
One of its famous and world-class festivities is the Masskara Festival originating all the way from Bacolod, the “City of Smiles”. Having been put to a halt for two years given the global pandemic, the province is more than ready to host its vivacious month-long celebration.

Fear of missing out capturing
Masskara Festival’s stars of the show – street dance and float parade? Never
miss a good moment by setting up your smartphone or digital camera with a
durable tripod to get steady shots with smooth pans and tilts. Going hands-free
with a tripod, you are now able to fully enjoy the unfolding event in front of
you and admire the skillfully crafted colorful gigantic masks by the
Bacolodnons or the energetic dances of the youth in the streets.
Take selfies at the breathtaking
tourist spots of Bacolod
If you’re a traveler as much as a
festival-goer, you would certainly dedicate a good portion of your trip to visiting
the scenic tourist spots in Bacolod City and the rest of Negros Occidental.
Some of the good spots that the province has to offer are The Ruins, an
ancestral home mansion of a wealthy baron in the 1920s; Lakawon Island, a
33-hectare white sand beach with clear waters; and Negros Museum, where
historical and cultural artifacts of the province are preserved for the
Negrenses’ sense of identity. With the breathtaking places, Bacolod has to
offer, you want to make sure that you are able to seize it with a flagship
smartphone with a good camera.
Capture your Bacolod food trip
using a high-quality vlogging camera
After all the standing,
strolling and cheering at the lively parade, food is the only possible cure for
exhaustion! And so, don’t think the City of Smiles would lag behind other
provinces when it comes to culinary. One of its trademark foods is its chicken inasal – marinated with a mixture of
condiments and spices meant to explode in your mouth. While you’re at it, what
better way to document hopping from one manokan
restaurant to another than by vlogging it with a portable and top-notch digital
camera?
Unleash the adventurer in you in

event are drag racing, autocross, and cross-kart. To further build up the
