Silay-Bacolod Airport Shuttle Bus

This is located at the back of SM Department Store. As of June 2013 the fare is Php 100.00 per person. This shuttle bus follows its service schedule even though the van is not full and or even you are alon. One thing you should do is to give extra time because after the van leaves the terminal it has another stops. It visits hotels or pension houses to pick up other travelers.

If you are from southern part of Negros Occidental and it is difficult for you to go to SM Bacolod, there are also shuttle bus along the way in Sum-ag area. If you are taking a bus you just have to tell the driver to drop you off in the airport shuttle bus. The shuttle bus fare in Sum- ag is Php 130,00 per person.

 I don't have their schedule but before you go down in a bus you can ask the shuttle bus driver if they are able to catch your flight. They will honestly tell you that you can take their shuttle bus but if the scheduled shuttle bus already left they will advise you to go directly to Bacolod.

POEA Bacolod

Overseas Filipino Workers who are currently living in Negros Occidental can now easily process their Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) and Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) in POEA Bacolod.
