What should I pack when moving to Bacolod City?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Bacolod City to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Bacolod City, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a raincoat or umbrella as Bacolod experiences a rainy season. Pack comfortable footwear suitable for walking, as well as flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on visiting religious sites, pack modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Also, consider packing insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Pack all necessary toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last your stay, along with a copy of your prescription. Don't forget to pack your passport, driver's license, and other necessary identification. Also, bring any necessary visas or paperwork for your stay in the Philippines. Pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and over-the-counter medication for common ailments like headaches and stomach issues. If you plan on using electronics, bring a power adapter as the Philippines uses a different plug type than many other countries. Lastly, pack a few comfort items from home, such as your favorite snacks or books, to help you settle into your new home," said another expat in Bacolod City, Philippines.
