The Tale Of Two Mansions: The Ruins VS The Unharmed

Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson

This is an incredible story on the two old mansions in Negros Occidental, Philippines: The Ruins and The Unharmed.

The Ruins is located in Talisay City, which is 5 kilometers away from Bacolod City. And  The Unharmed can be found in Bacolod City. 

According to Lloyd Tronco, a blogger, Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson  owned the  Ruins, the formerly majestic mansion in Talisay. Upon knowing that the Spanish soldiers  were invading the Province, the Don suddenly damaged the mansion by burning it down, fearing that the Spanish invaders might use his residence for the establishment of their settlement.

Unknown to the Don, the Spanish never intended to  settle in Talisay. Unknown to the Don, the Spanish had established a headquarter at Don Mariano Ramos' mansion in Bacolod City. Until now, the equally beautiful mansion is still erect and well-preserved.
