Going back to times @ The Ruins

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Classical and Magical.

This are two words that best describes The Ruins at Talisay City, Negros Occidental. With just a few minutes ride from Bacolod, one should not miss this exciting destination for a picture perfect opportunity. As soon as I stepped out of the cab, I could immediately feel that I was being time warped into the 90’s where rich hacienderos rule this bustling sugar rich island of Negros.

The Ruins is built in 1920’s and owned by the Lacson. The site is still cornered with vast sugarcanes and continues to be a major industry in the island. They say the best time to visit this place is late afternoon because a golden glow will light over the building and the place just come alive. Night viewing is also great because of the lights.

I am very happy with the result of the picture, the waiter is really a pro. He got this amazing reflection picture below. The place is perfectly landscaped and additional touches are being mad to exemplify the beauty of the site.

At first I was puzzled, what could be the waiter doing at this time, he was taking pictures of me in this part of the house. The picture was brilliantly creative, dont you think? Abstract photography.

Its so easy to go here at The Ruins, from Bacolod City, take any jeep that takes to Talisay City and tell the driver to drop you off to Pepsi Plant right after Robinsons Mall Bacolod. It cost only P7 for about 5 minute ride. Then take a tricycab to the Ruins, it will pass on a subdivision. The driver asked P30 one way and once there, an entrance fee P40 is collected.

Other amenities here include fine dining experience. Savor some delectable cuisines if you have the buget. Last week, the President herself had her lunch here.

I find the story behind its current state of ‘ruins’ very fascinating. Being a part of a glorious past in Negros, this ought to be protected.
