PromdiLiving On the MoneySense Magazine

19 March 2008 237 Views 9 CommentsPrint this post Print this post Email this post Email this post

I never thought that blogging would get me on a magazine. Well, it was not really about me but on the “Best Places to Live” in the Philippines. Last February, I was e-mailed by Heinz Bulos of MoneySense magazine with four questions as to why I think Bacolod City is the best place to live in the country.

I expect some of my answers to be quoted but the article exceeded my expectations. Not that I’m complaining. I guess that earned me bragging rights, right?

Fellow Ilonggo bloggers Marcos and Junelle were also interviewed regarding Iloilo City. I’m quite proud that Bacolod and Iloilo were on the Top 5 of the Best Places to Live in the country. We made the right choice. This is home.

Below is the complete write-up on Bacolod City. Please click on thumbnail to view larger image.

      @sigroid75 - Those were my honest opinion. We may not be native Bacoleños but we can make Bacolod our home.
