The Bacolod Mansion Ruins

Located in Silay, Talisay, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines is a mansion that has Italian and Roman influence. It will soon become a tourist attraction and I'm fortunate to do a photoshoot before the tourists crowds this place. Don Mariano Braga, a former captain of a shipping vessel owned and had this constructed before the World War II. It has met a sad fate when the USAFFE (United States Armed Forces in the Far East) and the brave Filipino guerillas burned it to prevent the Japanese from taking over it and using it as their headquarters. Though this great fire consumed it's original form, the structure still stands proud and boasts its antique beauty.
