This year, we purposely went to Bacolod one day earlier than everyone else. We wanted to explore the city. Six years of going to the city and we knew there were treasures we have yet to discover. Here's one of them:
The Ruins, Talisay
Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson, a sugar baron, had this mansion built after his wife Maria Braga died while pregnant with their 11th child.
The mansion was deliberately burned down by the Filipino guerrillas to prevent the Japanese army from making it into a fortress.
The best time for a visit should be towards late afternoon. Dusk paints an even more dramatic picture of the ruins...
