Lechon Festival in Brgy. Cabug

Barangay Cabug celebrated its 7th Lechon Festival January 6, 2013.  It's interesting to see lechon (roasted pig) dressed in colorful costumes and paraded to their plaza.

Schoolchildren, dressed in lechon-inspired costumes, join the parade and performed their dances.

Since this is an election year, most of the candidates running for elective positions made their presence felt in occasions similar to this.  It's good my shirt is green so it did not give me a hint of any political color.

At the end of the parade, guests gathered at this very long table to feast on the  rice and lechon lade in front of you in what is called the 'boodle fight'.

How to get there:
Take the Circumferential Road and proceed South.  The concrete roads end at Brgy. Cabug.

Vintage Glasses Museum

A new place to visit in Bacolod City.  This is the vintage glasses collection of Tomas Casiano.  Having worked in the US of A for more than 30 years, he has added more to his  glasses collection into what we see now in his museum at Sum-ag, Bacolod City.  When he decided to retire, he would send his collection in balikbayan boxes to his home for two years.  Each piece carefully wrapped and packed in their respective boxes.

Having worked as a floral arranger for 9  Beverly Homes mansions each week, he has acquired an eye for beauty.  He built this museum in just about four months.  You may visit his place by appointment only.

How to get there:

While traversing the National Road along Brgy. Sum-ag, turn left at the Abuanan Road.  Take another left turn and that's his house on the left just before the corner.  You would see red and green flags on his perimeter gate.  Take another left turn to go to the museum.  You wouldn't miss it!
