Bacolod City is famous for its smiling denizens and is also called the City of Smiles. The perpetually smiling mask is a symbol of the Bacolodnon's way of facing life's challenges with a smile.
As assured of me, I will live life to the fullest! The fullest of riches and the fullest of poverty. The fullest of friendship and the fullest of enmity. The fullest of joys and the fullest of tears. The fullest of my days and the fullest of my years.
