    Ruins The Emblem Of An Overflowing Love

    Making it in the City of smiles, dressed us in kindness of someone whom I don't know. Offering his hand to us, in and around Bacolod, from our accommodation and touring us around, this act of kindness truly speaks that people of Bacolod are accommodating and very kind.
