The city government of Bacolod, headed by Mayor Greg Gasataya through the Bacolod City Tourism Development Office, in partnership with the Bacolod Gugma Foundation Inc. and Diskwento Caravan of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), launched the MassKara Shopping Festival, happening from October 1 to 19.
The program is one of the city’s highlighted activities for the world-renowned MassKara Festival, bringing together Bacolod’s premier malls-Ayala Malls Capitol Central, SM City Bacolod, Robinsons Bacolod, Lopue’s East Centre and Lopue’s Araneta, for a citywide shopping celebration.
Festival-goers and shoppers can look forward to big discounts, exclusive promos and exciting deals from participating mall tenants. Each mall has prepared special promotions – from rebate points, loyalty rewards and flash sales, to discounts on selected items across fashion, footwear, accessories, gadgets, groceries, eyewear and lifestyle products.
Chief Tourism Operations Officer Ma.
