Have you tried going to the North here in the Negros Island, Negros Occidental, Philippines? I bet you haven't got the time to explore the place. Let me show you the night beauty of THE RUINS in Bacolod City.
Last January, together with my partner, we visited the place during night time. It was around 175kilometers from our place. We rode using a car and enjoyed the fresh air.
Bacolod City is known for its "City of Smiles". As you can see, we are smiling because the place looks amazing and I cannot imagine that I can go there in no time. Imagine, we don't have any driver's license yet so we prayed that there will be no checkpoints and thank GOD, we we're able to pull it off. Haha!
The Ruins Mansion is the remains of an ancestral home built in 1920 by a wealthy sugar baron named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. Don Mariano constructed the mansion as a testament of his love for his Portuguese wife, Cora Maria Osorio Rosa-Braga, after she passed away in 1911. Maria, who was pregnant with their eleventh child at the time, lost her and their baby’s lives after figuring in an accident.
Don Mariano built the structure in a 440-hectare sugar plantation situated in the border of present-day Talisay and Bacolod. Its architecture was described as Italianate due to deriving inspiration from Italian Architecture. However, it was later set aflame in 1942 by Filipino guerilla fighters employed by the United States Armed Forces during the Second World War.

Presenting to you my partner, James. He is a graduating Bachelor of Office Administration. Here are some snaps that we have while enjoying the place. There were a little tourists since it was night time and the place is about to close.
The place will close at 8pm so if you want to enjoy the view more, come early. There is very spacious area perfect for family gatherings. They can also accommodate weddings, baptisms and any events as long as you will book the area in advance. i forgot how much is the payment but you can message the in their Facebook account.
You can go there by car, taxi, motorcycle or any means of transportation because the place is very accessible. There is a large parking area and the kids would surely love it.
We explored the place, met some new friends, chitchat a little.
That is the front view when you come to the place. Its so warm, fascinating and amazing. I love the cool place with no distractions. There are less people there and you can enjoy the place.
The foods are so great also! I mean its affordable and perfect for your taste buds. We tried their snacks only and coffee. I you wish to go there, you can message them in their social media.

You are always, welcome. Goodluck with that!
A very beautiful place, and it will definitely be an unforgettable memory in that place, the beauty of the place is extraordinary.
That is correct! This is one of the best places that you can visit. It is peaceful and the place is spacious which allows tourists to enjoy it.
Despite the challenges it went through over the years, it still stands mighty and strong. It was just sad that the wife of the baron didn't get to see the whole beauty of this mansion which still is proudly standing even up to the present time. Good to know that they also open their place for special events. Having this as the venue for an event adds more excitement to one's celebration.
Yes! I bet they are happy watching from above. This place is history and holds a lot of memories. The reason why they opened it to public so that others will also enjoy the beauty of it.
