Masskara Festival in Bacolod City is one of the most colorful merry-making events held during the month of October. The festival is supposed to run for 20 days but the event climax is on the weekend nearest to October 19 (which is my birthdate).
I missed the festivities when I came to Bacolod City but there sure were a lot of reminders of the weekend that was – the colorful banderitas on the streets and lots and lots of maskara in the hotel where I was staying. Even the locals can’t help but proudly describe to me their delight in the just-concluded festival!
And because there were no more parades to watch, this is how it’s like to have a taste of the Masskara Festival… 
But the highlight of my Bacolod trip was far from the sounds and sights of the Masskara Festival but somewhere tucked within the quaint town of Talisay, located near the airport – The Ruins of Negros!
