Transcom is a Europe based call center that is set to locate its second branch here in the city of smiles. They are currently in Planta Hotel and Residences to accept applicants. This will be the 7th BPO company that will soon operate in Bacolod City. Their target of operation will be on the 3rd quarter of this year with 800 employees. They will be located at Lopue’s South Square in Araneta St., Brgy. Tangub, Bacolod City.
Isn’t it amazing?!!! Bacolod is the home of BIG BPO companies in Western Visayas.
After almost 4 months since it opened, Starbucks Bacolod finally released their specialized Bacolod mugs and tumblers. Now, mug fanatics (especiallythose who love to collect starbucks mugs) can purchase this beautifully designed MUG at Starbucks Bacolod for only 425 and their tumbler for 395 ( ahem!!! its not for free..) The design resembles our own iron dinosaur used to transport sugarcane during the sugar empire era (sad to say, these trains are now being set for display). So calling all mug lovers, go grab one now!!! only available at starbucks bacolod…where else? hahahahaha
After several months of hibernation (hehehehe) I’m back!!!…this time, i will feature some new stuffs going on around Bacolod and some latest updates of some ongoing constructions in the city.

Another Big event is set to happen this January here in Bacolod. Amidst the Global crisis, Bacolod will show the world that we can still celebrate and enjoy the Chinese New Year with a smile. Heres an article from my friends blog (click the word blog )..
You don’t have to be a Chinese to enjoy the festivities of the Chinese New Year. Experience once again the merging of two cultures as the City of Bacolod and the Filipino-Chinese Communities bring you the 2009 Bacolaodiat Festival, the 4th time for the city to hold the festival.
Bacolaodiat was coined from Bacolod and Lao Diat, the Fookien word for celebration. The Bacolaodiat Festival was meant to showcase the best of the Filipino and Chinese cultures.
Different activities were already lined up for the 2009 Bacolaodiat Festival. The Year of the Ox will be welcomed on January 23-26 with lantern parade, fireworks, street dancing, food festival, and more.
Here is the 2009 BacoLaodiat Festival Schedule of Activities:
January 23 – Opening of Lantern Park at the The Capitol Shopping Center, known as the China Town of Bacolod City
Opening of the Chopsticks Alley will be along Narra and Tindalo Avenue which will cater to Chinese food.
