The Philippines is known to be a happy country. Jeepney drivers, security guards, peddlers, and your Pinoy folks are simply a ray of sunshine. But that’s not the country’s only pride: the Filipino culture is a mix of rich, vibrant, spirited history and traditions, including the 42,000 festivals.

One of its famous and world-class festivities is the Masskara Festival  from Bacolod, the “City of Smiles.” After being halted for two years due to the global pandemic, the province is more than ready to stage its month-long celebration.

Home Credit, as the lifestyle partner of every Filipino, wants festival-goers, locals, and foreigners alike to capture a picture-perfect image of the festivity and make the most out of this year’s Masskara Festival through its product offerings for photography and videography.

Record the Masskara street dance and float parade hands-free

Fear of missing out on capturing Masskara Festival’s stars of the show – street dance and float parade? Never miss a good moment by setting up your smartphone or digital camera with a durable tripod to get steady shots with smooth pans and tilts. Then, going hands-free with a tripod, you can enjoy the unfolding event in front of you and admire the skillfully crafted, colorful gigantic masks by the Bacolodnons or the energetic dances of the youth in the streets.

Take selfies at the breathtaking tourist spots of Bacolod

If you’re a traveler as much as a festival-goer, you can dedicate a good portion of your trip to visiting the scenic tourist spots in Bacolod City and the rest of Negros Occidental. Some sceneries that the province has to offer are The Ruins, an ancestral home mansion of a wealthy baron in the 1920s; Lakawon Island, a 33-hectare white sand beach with clear waters; and Negros Museum, where historical and cultural artifacts of the province are preserved for the Negrenses’ sense of identity. With the breathtaking places, Bacolod has to offer, you want to make sure you can seize it with a flagship smartphone with a good camera.

Capture your Bacolod food trip using a high-quality vlogging camera

After all the standing, strolling and cheering at the lively parade, food is the only possible cure for exhaustion! One of its trademark foods is its chicken inasal – marinated with a mixture of condiments and spices meant to explode in your mouth. While you’re at it, what better way to document hopping from one manokan restaurant to another than by vlogging it with a portable and top-notch digital camera?

Unleash the adventurer in you in the Masskara Cup Drag Fest

The city government has Masskara Cup Drag Fest lined up this year. Motorists and cyclists can now participate in a BMX competition. Recording rigorous activities like these calls for a reliable action camera so you would never miss out on recording the jumps and swerves when you shift into your element.
