It was my second time to visit "The Ruins" in Talisay City, Negros Occidental. But during my second visit I've learned so many things about it's history since there was a Tour Guide.

The Tour Guide |
The Mansion was built in 1900 in the center of an "Azucarera", owned by Don Mariano Lacson for his first wife Maria Braga but when her first wife died Don Mariano Lacson remarried and leave the Mansion to his ten siblings. The were ten rooms on the second floor. During world war II they hired a Japanese garderner. When they knew that it was an informant for the Japanese Military the Guerellas decided to burned down the Mansion to avoid the Japanese Militaries from occupying the Mansion. It was abandoned for many years but now it is one the most visited tourist spots in Negros Occidental.
