   Since the Masskara Festival is rapidly approaching, the city is planning numerous events for everyone. Since the Masskara Festival is one of the most well-known events in the country, many people will gather as is to be expected. As a student of digital marketing, I believe that the Masskara Queen and the reasons why the festival is celebrated should also be mentioned in the article to promote it. It is a wonderful idea to include the Masskara Queen since it can attract pageant fans and persuade them to attend the event and see the stunning candidates. This is because some people are now pageant fans. It is also significant to clarify why the Masskara Festival exists and why we celebrate it so that others who are unaware of the celebration would be able to understand why. Additionally, it can contribute to upholding and preserving the Masskara Festival history for future generations.

   There are numerous fun things to do in Bacolod City, including visiting the ruins, enjoying inasal, and taking in the local culture at the masskara festival. The residents of Bacolod City, also known as “Bacolodnon,” should be mentioned in the article since they are outstanding individuals with positive attitudes and outgoing personalities who make visitors feel at home in the city. The establishments in Bacolod City are also excellent. Using social media platforms, Bacolod City can advertise by showcasing its locations.

   As a digital marketer, I think I used social media to market the destination and festival. Posting on social media through Facebook gain more views and likes for our festival. So social media is the key to boosting the market.

   The article is already filled of interesting content in the form of images and informative details about the destination and the festival. I think one of the most popular ways for individuals to get information is through videos. Therefore, in order for the article to make a big impression on social media, it must include engaging videos that are not just about a specific tourist spot but also about the city as a whole. People need to see and feel things, thus businesses must take steps to capture these scenes using the latest technologies and show them to visitors. Because, nowadays, visitors to a travel company’s website want to be impressed and captivated by the multimedia content before deciding to stay and discover more about the products and services you have to offer.

   Show case the events and spread it to the social media so that the people know the center of the MassKara festival and the big vibrant masks. A lot of barangays and groups are working hard to give world-class performances complete with crafted masks and eye-catching outfits.
   As The City of Smiles, expect Bacolod locals to give you the warmest welcome. Festivals in the Philippines usually bring out the most hospitable spirit in everyone, so don’t be shy to befriend locals during the festivities. You might even get the best travel tips from them.
   The music used for the celebration has enjoyed a colorful evolution, just like the festival. From folk songs, the festival now uses a combination of Latin beat remixes as well as Philippine Jazz to grace the street dances. And emphasize the event what I did in my explanation and how the city welcome the tourist to give them A comfortable tour.

   As a digital marketer, I think posting in social media platforms must be included in the article in order to spread the beautiful face of Bacolod and any other festivals that will happen in our city. And I think by the help of our city leaders by endorsing or posting online can attract many tourists since it is our own city leaders that are the ones who give some trivia about our city. 🙂

   As a digital marketer, in order to market the destinations and festivals in Bacolod City, I highly recommend to showcase the beautiful destinations, spots and happening events in Bacolod City through social platforms such as facebook, instagram, youtube, and other platforms. As we all know social platforms can widely promote tourism by spoiling tourists to some places that are pleasant to visit. I would also suggest to host an event wherein it showcases the culture, tradition, history and lifestyle of the city. This also includes the delicious foods and amazing local products. In this way, tourists would recognize the beauty and attraction of the city. So, I believe these suggestions of mine would greatly improve the article and this would influence the tourists to come over and visit the city of smiles.

   Images of colorful masskara costumes, as well as the various Bacolodnon dishes served in the streets during the masskara festival, must be included in the article. The author must also include the essence of the Masskara Festival, its purpose, and when it began. The reason for the Masskara Festival is unique and inspiring, and I believe that including it in the article could attract and inspire more tourists for them to fully appreciate the celebration.

    To widen the reach and market of Bacolod City and its ever popular Masskara Festival to the people, I believe that the blog can also contain these contents:

    1. Modernized and Effective Learning offered by Academic Schools and Universities
    – Bacolod City is also known to have one of the best universities and schools here in the Philippines. By including these, there can be chances of enticing people who are interested to the academic field. An example would be the Hyflex Learning Set up of USLS-Bacolod wherein students have access to learning via home and school presence and the launching of the MAPUA Digital School here in Bacolod wherein all learners can access learning digitally through high end technologies and devices.

    2. Business Opportunities through Livelihood Programs
    – There are a lot of opportunities specially in business that can be utilized and be taken advantage here in Bacolod. Several industries have already market penetrated the city with their brands. As the capital city of Negros, Bacolod produces many business oppprtunieties in the different areas and fields of expertise. These are made and crafted possible by the people residing in Bacolod who are equipped with the needed knowledge and world class talents and skills.

    3. Launched, Present, and future Movements and Advocacies for, by, and through the people.
    – Approaches to better the city’s societal and environmental state can also be a good influencer to the market. This can attract people who are more socially inclined and appreciates the beauty of life through righteous, radical, and ethical doings. Examples could be sustainable development programs and partnership activities to various government and non-government units or sectors.

    As a digital marketer, in order to promote the destination further, it is essential that the article contain information about its People. The city will not be known without its people or residents because they are the ones who represent the Bacolod City, and this will show tourists how welcoming and hospitable Bacolodnons are. The city won’t be known without its people or residents. Since many tourists are unaware of the origin of Bacolod City’s nickname, “City of Smiles,” it is important that the history of the Masskara Festival be presented in the article. In addition to the natural beauty of the city, the rich history of the city of Bacolod is another compelling reason for travelers to make the journey here with us. In addition, because the article has not been updated in quite some time, new locations, cafes, tourist spots, and updated itineraries need to be added to it. This will provide information to tourists about the newest attraction in Bacolod City, which they should experience if they are planning a vacation.

    In order to market the destination and the festival, the things to include in the article would be to include videos that showcase the beauty of bacolod and all its wonderful destinations. While photos are great, including videos as a form of marketing is a much better way for viewers to appreciate the city. Another idea i would recommend would be to hire famous online influencers and celebrities to market Bacolod as a must-visit tourist attraction. People would be more inclined to visit a particular place if they see their idols enjoying their stay in that place. Lastly, I recommend that instead of listing down the different hotels tourists might be able to check in during their stay in Bacolod, the article should link the social media pages of said hotels and give a general rate of their rooms in order for people to get a better idea of where they will stay that is suited to their budget. I believe that these are the things that if they are included in the article, would greatly improve its content and would be a better read for tourists and those wanting to visit Bacolod.

    Since Bacolod City is known as a City of smile, I think in order to promote the tourism industry of Bacolod. Invite tourist to celebrate different festivals,and endorse the delicacy of Bacolod. We must forecast how beautiful the culture of Bacolod was. And also, expose pictures in a nicer place like museum so that in can highlight the culture of bacolod and the food that located here so that they may encourage more to visit here, and also state how safe and clean and how affordable and convenient to visit here in Bacolod City.

    Given that Bacolod City is referred to as the “City of Smile,” and one of the greatest and most anticipated events is quickly approaching, it is important to support the local tourism industry. To support the delicacy of Bacolod, we must urge tourists to participate in festivities. We must anticipate how exquisite Bacolod culture was. And make the inhabitants of Bacolod more visible so that visitors may observe the kind, amiable, and charming locals there and take pictures in more beautiful areas nearby to encourage more people to come visit

    I believe it would be important to include a MassKara Festival travel guide and tips in the article. It would be preferable to provide tourists/visitors with a fast itinerary, giving them helpful information, such as the highlights of the MassKara celebrations they must take part in and where it would be held, the Street Dance and Arena Competition, Electric MassKara, MassKara Queen Pageant, Food Fair, Float Parade, and giving suggestions for things to do while in Bacolod to participate in the Masskara Festival. Giving the tourists some advice would also be beneficial so that they may take full use of the festival. Tips include making hotel reservations in advance, dressing comfortably, bringing an umbrella, trying the famous Bacolod chicken inasal, and arriving early for the festivities. Additionally, images and descriptions for each highlighted event must be included in the travel guide and tips to fully inform the readers about the festival, giving them a glimpse of what to expect and making the content more engaging.

    As a digital marketing student, The article must be included live bands, street dancing and many other events that held in Lacson street and NGC that can help promote City of Smile to the world what kind of festival that has in Bacolod City. MassKara Festival is alternately known as the ‘festival of smiles’ due to the tradition of the masks that the people wear donning smiles to represent the message of happiness. Because of the festival, Bacolod is also designated as the ‘City of Smiles’.

    For myself, in order to better advertise myself, I will include the history of the masskara celebration, explain why Bacolod City is nicknamed as the “City of Smile,” and draw attention to certain notable churches there, such as the Cathedral. I’ll also mention the characteristics, principles, or conduct of Bacolod. The historical story of Bacolod City can capture the hearts of everyone, thus tourists must be aware of this. It will be the additional factor contributing to Bacolod City’s high visitor or tourist density.

    As digital marketers, what do you think must be included in the article to market the destination and the festival? Explain.

    Looking through the un-update travel guide for Bacolod City, the things that I think that must be included to market the destination as a digital marketer were: (a) Make the travel guide more interesting and creative article. Such as putting a creative and interesting background that really says what Bacolod City has and known for to captivate the tourist to check what’s on the travel guide as well as inspire them to visit the travel guide again. (b) I’ve also identified that it is quite long for everyone to read and we should also consider other people who do not like to read long written travel guides. Especially nowadays, everyone is into pictures and just shortening information and instructions is also effective. We are in a digital world therefore it would be better to give off an innovative and easier travel guide for everyone. ( c) Update or more pictures would be also better to put the past and current pictures of the place and happenings in Bacolod. (d) Furthermore, put supplementary information on what they should expect in Bacolod and the incoming event, especially that we are almost and carefully back to normal where we can now hold events. Above all, an information about the rich culture behind the Masskara festival. To make the tourist knowledgeable and further understand about the festival itself, not just to enjoy it. (e) And lastly add a feedback or comments from other tourists (e.g. pictures, or screenshots) who already visit the wondrous place of Bacolod City most importantly the festival itself which is called “Masskara Festival”.

    As digital marketers, we should take into account how the city’s authorities manage cleanliness and security, particularly during the festival when a lot of tourists visit Bacolod. To give visitors a pleasant atmosphere as they explore Bacolod, they should promote and maintain the city’s cleanliness. To keep the populace in peace and order, the city needs also have well-secured security.

    A. Leaders need to promote in improving the tourism industry in Bacolod City. The festivals held in Bacolod City can attract a lot of tourists and it is important to keep it beautiful and enjoyable. Then the City of Bacolod will be known as one of the most progressive and elite cities in the country.

    B. The traits needed to influence Bacolodnons is to foster a creative invironment. It makes sure the leaders always give their people full credit for their ideas. Because bad leadership will take more credit than the work of their people, which can cause those under their leadership to lose their incentive to be creative.

    For me, when it comes to promoting a tourism industry in City of Bacolod, We do some travel pictures then post it on social media, sometimes they create a website for their business, they do commercials also, sometimes the strategy of others to promote their business as well here in the City of Bacolod, they make a copy of their promo then they give it to the people 1 by 1.

    Encourage them to promote our city, for example in our business, restaurants, resorts in positive way. To support our local activities, support our local resorts.

    Bacolod City is well known of City of Smile where people smiles everytime when we are happy, sad, or whatever problem comes to their life that is why it called City of Smile. People manage to smile to cheer themselves and to inspire people to be happy no matter what. To promote our tourism industry, leaders should use its power to influence people to become more engage in promoting our tourism industry. These days technology are part of peoples life it can be promoted by social medias like facebook, tiktok, instagram etc., it can be vlogging and news either local and international by showing our culture. Since it is pandemic promoting tourism is through technology only. However promoting tourism is difficult because of the pandemic so, leader should secure the health of every tourist and also its people with proper and complete equipment, social distancing with a warm welcome. Tourism is quite flexible as a industry because relies itself from the culture of that City and to it’s people. Influence, power, and authority is such a great arsenal when it comes to this field, so use it wisely.

    Being compassionate will help to promote our province, compassion goes along the way to the plans if leader has a heart in doing it. Confident to their decisions will influence his people to promote City of Bacolod, it is a way to have a trust within the leader and its people. Also, willing to take a risk in every tough decision the leader will make because it is difficult to promote in this pandemic.

    A. Based on our discussion on leadership, what things should the leaders of the City of Bacolod do to promote our tourism industry?

    After I read the article, for me the things that should promote the leader of tourism industry in City of Bacolod is their festival. Because, City of Bacolod has 3 festival called Masskara festival, Bacolodiat festival and Panaad sa negros. Masskara festival has bunch of delicious food and handiworks stall, street dancing, oktoberfest event (street party) in lacson street and lastly electric masskara, masskara festival held every October. Bacolodiat festival is chinese new year celebration in Bacolod City and held every February at Provincial Lagoon. Bacolodiat festival also headed by the Filipino-Chinese community in Bacolod. Panaad sa Negros is the biggest festival in Bacolod, because each cities and municipalities are representing their festival and pavilion and it considered as “mother of festival” in the province of Negros Occidental. It represents the happy nature of every Negrense. Also, held every April in Panaad Park and Stadium in Brgy. Mansilingan which is home to the Panaad Festival.

    B. What traits of our leaders are needed to influence bacolodnons to promote the city?

    The traits that need of leaders to influence bacolodnons to promote the city is optimism. Optimism is defined as a tendency to expect positive outcomes. Leaders need optimism to achieve lofty goals, to stretch themselves and others to greater achievements. Also, they are able to inspire and motivate people to work toward achieving that shared vision of success.

    Based on our discussion on leadership, what things should the leader of the City of Bacolod do to promote our tourism industry?

    Last time we discussed leadership. I remember a quote that “The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.” So, I believe that in order to promote the Bacolod tourism industry the leader of the Bacolod City must be an influential person. The leader can promote industry by touching every people’s interest about tourism. Giving enough pictures to every person’s mind is like giving some attractive facts that can catch attention that they will really want to explore. Let tourists experience how wonderful and amazing the city is. Also using social media platforms we can widely promote tourism by spoiling them some places that are pleasant to visit .

Not only that there’s a lot more you need to discover by yourself.

    What Traits of our leaders are needed to influence Bacolodnon to promote the city?

    There are different traits that every leader acquires. Each and everyone of them has its own uniqueness and capability to lead. I believe that the leader of Bacolodnon possesses these following traits: compassionate, influential, good communicator and serves as a good example to all Bacolodnon. Being compassionate is really important; it makes the leader unique. Influential is also a trait that can help to promote a city. Being influential to bacolodnon is a big help to promote the city. Good communication is a way to promote the city effectively. A lot of bacolodnon will listen to you and in return you as a leader need to listen to their opinion as well so that it can have a good impact on your relation with the city and its people. Lastly, being a good example to your people may affect good ideas and perspectives to promote your city easily to avoid any issues.

    City of bacolod should improve their cleanliness campaign ro improve also its tourism industry. Being clean in the streets of bacolod and in other tourist spots will get good compliment to tourist. It will also attract vlogers that will help its tourism industry becaise social media is a big factor to lift it up.

    Being responsible of the leader will influence its constituents. People who are accountable for their actions take command for their lives. They device strategies and create objectivea for developing their talents and skills.

    To promote tourism in a already popular or rather a well known city in visayas, the capital of Negros Occidental, Bacolod city. I should always consider using my influence first over authority and power. Influence is the key factor to successfuly promote the tourism in Bacolod city, both nationally and worldwide. With the use of current technological advances that we have such as the web or the internet I can start promoting it to foreigns and locals. Websites, blog and articles such as the one that I am currently in are perfect example. Social media will be useful too, facebook and tiktok are the most popular social sites the feeds our hunger to socialize in the mist of pandemic. It’s good place to start there because once the pandemic is gone people may check this place through social media. I would also add tourism office like what we have here in Talisay near our plaza. It represent the culture of talisay in such small scale. Lastly with the use of authority, I’d like to fund the tourism to ensure succes.

    Being innovative, a innovative leader could influence his people to try doing new ways to attract tourist, new gimmicks and trends can greatly improve the tourism here in Bacolod. Persuasive is a unique skill of a leader, being able to convince or persuade tourist is a must if you want to improve the tourism of Bacolod City.

    A.
    – As a leader you need to know on whats wrong with the industry and figure out a plan to solve its problem. To promote the industry i will suggest cleanliness. Cleanliness make people remember on how clean the enviroment is which gives a high chance to attract more people. And also safety. Nowadays safety is important to all, having safety protocols in Industry will surely improve it. Lastly uniqueness, industry must know how to have uniqueness on their own so that people will recognize it uniqueness.

    B.
    – Cooperative is the key to influence them, being cooperative will help set and achieve common goals. When leaders cooperate with people who has ideas that will surely promote the city, the progress will be a lot faster and easier.

    The traits of leaders are very important in order to influence their followers. Bacolodnons are tractable so that leaders of Bacolod City should have a trait of being open-minded and being flexible at all times. Leaders of Bacolod should also be responsible for their actions. The actions of the leaders can reflect on how they influence their followers. Being optimistic is the most important trait of a good leader because in order to lead you should always have a positive mind.

    A. There are a lot of things should the leaders of the City of Bacolod do to promote our tourism industry. The first thing should the leaders do is to reconstruct or transform some tourism spots especially the museums. Thenceforth, leaders should advertise the tourist spots to the social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms. Through social media platforms, leaders should manifest the essence of the tourist spots of Bacolod City.

    A. To promote the city, the mayor must lead and stand in this situation. Inorder to attract foreigners and to improved the tourism, we must beautify our city first so that many tourists will be attract. With the use also of the technology, by using social media we can easily spread and endorse our most famous attraction in the city. Like our famous inasal here in Bacolod and masskara festival. I think mayor should also focus on cleaning of our environment, including bystanders in many corners of Bacolod, especially in public plaza. Mayor should discover more attractions to catch the attention of many tourists.

    being an empowering leader should be a leader who has power and can influence other people, and he should share his power with others to make tourism better.

    the attitude that our leader needs to be able to influence the people of Bacolod must be a smart leader, know what is good or bad and must know how to promote the city of Bacolod

    My Suggestions to a leader in Bacolod City, Give more budget to the workers for good results of the products. Make tourist spots more beautiful. Create a livelihood program in every city. Protect the environment and keep the environment clean, Build infrastructure for people to have jobs. Be proud and keep our festivals like “Maskarra festival”
    and “Panaad sa negros”. spread it all over the world so that we can be noticed and counted in one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines.

        For me Bacolod leaders should prioritize it’s people to maintain a healthy community to lower crime rates and decrease poverty in this case if people saw that Bacolod is in good shape opportunities will come in, tourism will bloom by good leadership step by step Bacolod will be a City great once more.
        The traits needed are the Positivity, Honesty, and Care for its people. Positivity for having a confidence dealing with such problems, Honesty is for the greater good of all if all officials and leaders are honest things will go smoothly, No corruption means more budget for the Bacolod and it’s people creating a healthy environment for us all in that way officials are taking care of it’s people properly.
