Bacolod-Korea Friendship Festival

Bacolod may be the only city in the country that promotes a Bacolod-Korea Friendship Festival.  On August 15, 2014, I  joined  the airport reception for the Korean Director, who was the only guest for this festival, after having been requested by the Mayor's Office.  Incidentally, the mayor himself was on the same flight.  Some prominent people who came on the same flight were Tacloban City Mayor Philip Romualdez and wife Cristina.

We can't deny that Koreans abound our city.  The record shows!


The event was held at the People's Hall in Bacolod City and was participated by Korean students all over Bacolod City.


The special guest was Mr. Oh Choong-suk who is the Director of the Korean Cultural Center in Taguig City.



Culinary students from ICA in La Salle prepared Korean dishes which were served to  the guests.


Even though that this was Mr. Oh's first visit to Bacolod, he promise to come back and bring some of his events to Bacolod City.
