San Sebastian Cathedral-Bacolod City
Fr. Mauridio Ferrero, O.A.R., the parish work of Bacolod (1871-1898; 1902-1910) was responsible for the striking structure of the Cathedra of San Sebastian. In 1825, the original church was constructed by Fr. Julian Gonzaga (parish priest 1818-1836). The ancient church was made of wood and galvanized roofing. It had one medium-sized bell until Fr. Roman Manuel Locsin donated a large bell and another priest, Fr. Mariano de Avila gave one when he became the parish priest in 1863 after the death of Fr. Locsin. The bell of Fr. De Avila was installed in the tower when the Cathedral was constructed in 1876, but lowered in 1969 when the towers were built. It was never returned there until 1976 when the Sugarlandia Lions Club of Bacolod constructed a special belfry where it hangs today with Fr. Ferrero’s small bell.

The Punta Ubong Coastal Limestone Cave System
Carved-out by the sea over millions of years, the caves are a natural wonder to behold. There are a total of three caves, two of which are linked to each other by a small shaft. A cove measuring about a hundred meters in width seperates the third, smaller cave, from the other two. This smaller cave – Salvacion Cave - sits on the outer rim, its sea-facing opening so large that pump-boats frequently enter and dock within, to the delight of tourists. This cave’s high ceiling (45-50 feet) gives it a catherdral-like, expansive feel; its visible, coral-covered bottom, at about 30 to 35 feet deep, is a spectacular free-dive to those so inclined.
