Bacolod Youth Lounge, Co-Working Space Open Everyday

The Bacolod Youth Lounge and Co-Working Space – a free public facility where young Bacolodnons can learn, grow, and find equal opportunities to thrive, is open from 10 AM to 7 PM everyday at the 3rd floor of the Ayala Mall Capitol Central.

Mayor Greg Gasataya said the facility is designed to give the youth “a conducive environment for their ideas, hub for collaboration, and a safe space for guidance, support, and empowerment. Every young Bacolodnon, regardless of background, will have the same access to resources, mentorship, and opportunities to chase their dreams.”

Its services include lounge space, study space, free printing (PDF files only and no bulk printing), free sharing sessions, free wi-fi, free meeting rooms, and even free coffee.

“This is our way of turning to our youth and saying: we believe in you,” Mayor Gasataya said

“Like the dawn that carries the promise of a new day, our youth are the light that guides Bacolod’s tomorrow. As long as we lift them, support them, and believe in what they can become, our city will always stand stronger together,” he added.*
