BACOLOD/DUMAGUETE TOUR

ruins

Called the RUINS. This landmark located in Talisay, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental was constructed by a rich man in honor of her deceased wife. The difference with the Taj Mahal of India was her wife was not buried here. The house is of no ordinary. Materials used in the construction included a two inch thick floor of the best wood the time had. The concrete is of A1 mixture. Why this look now? World War II came in and the Americans and Filipino soldiers requested the owner to burn the house to avoid being used by the Japanese. The owner consented and and so the burning started. Gallons of gasoline were not enough to completely demolish the building. On the third day upon using used oil that the woods were all eaten up by fire.
