ILOILO AND BACOLOD IMAGES: LESTER LEDESMA
Check in at
Avenue Suites,
a boutique hotel
on Lacson Street. Don’t leave
the city without eating at
Bob’s Restaurant, Bacolod’s
pride for delicious Filipino
cuisine. No visit would be
complete without posing for
a photo with the ruins as the
backdrop. For sweet-tooth
cravings, drop by Calea.
