It always feels good and proud to have a milestone in your locality. The first flyover in Bacolod which has been a topic of debates and credit was formally launched last Friday.

People have been waiting so much for take a ride to the popular benchmark. Me and my friend Ian, out of curiosity, tried to pass thru it during the opening day itself and we enjoyed the ride.

I felt good and felt I was in Manila and other places while driving up the flyover. Joco too was enjoying and asked to pass thru it over and over again last Saturday. Sadly the u turn slot is in Talisay so I kind of consumed an unreasonable amount of gasoline for that vice of my son.

When you’re there above, you can see both roads to the side. The right sight show Bata Road going to Marapara Golf Club and the opposite shows the road going to Banago Wharf. You also can see the sea at the Banago Wharf. Beside the flyover stand big Chowking and Ayala billboards, similar to those in Edsa.

Going North, I can see the terminals being constructed and the wide highway leading to Talisay’s Class Subdivisions, Ayala Northpoint, Amaia, Plantazione and Active group. I am so happy and excited to live in La Costa Brava, it’s the subdivision nearest to the landmark and all the newly opened establishments nearby.

A few years back, I was really bored to stay in Bacolod. The phase of life was really slow and backwards. Lately, I refused an offer to transfer to Manila by my employer because it seems that my hometown underwent a lot of transformations and developments and I want to enjoy it first before other people would. After all, there’s no place like home.
