Hi everyone! I just wanted to ask locals or business owners here in Bacolod kung ano gid bala ang realistic nga business or side hustle nga may actual demand diri sa city — except cafés or coffee shops because super damo na gid. 😅
I’m trying to find something:
- affordable to start realistic for students/young adults
- Fits Bacolod’s target market
- sustainable long-term
- not just “uso for a few months”

I noticed na some trends don’t really last here unless swak gid sa spending habits sang mga tawo, so I wanted honest opinions from people living in Bacolod.
What businesses do you think still have strong potential here?

Also:
What businesses are already too saturated?

What’s something people in Bacolod actually spend money on consistently?

Any underrated side hustle ideas nga kulang pa diri?

Would appreciate real insights and experiences gid. Thank you!

I’m currently planning to start a business (side hustle) in Bacolod and have been considering a charcuterie bar/cart concept, but now I’m wondering if it’s actually worth investing in.

For those who’ve attended or hosted events recently:

Sulit ba ang charcuterie cart/bar?
Did guests actually enjoy and eat it?
Or would you recommend spending the budget on something else instead?

Would also appreciate suggestions aside from charcuterie bar/cart.

Thanks!

Hi everyone — I’m starting a small charcuterie/grazing board business in the Philippines and I’m looking for reliable cheese suppliers or importers. But I guess some are located in luzon areas ( Im from bacolod ) so i really need the one who offers delivery nationwide.

Would love recommendations for:
wholesale suppliers
direct importers
local artisan cheese makers
Metro Manila or Cebu suppliers
minimum order quantities
pricing experience
cold-chain/logistics tips

THANKSS!!
