Travel CHALLENGE Day 2 Part 2: Silay City - Heritage Walk

Part 2: Silay City - Heritage Walk

It might not be everyone's cup of tea to walk around some ancestral houses. However, it was too exciting to do some searching on the 31 ancestral houses that this city was known for.

I arrived at Silay City at 9:25 AM. Then, I immediately started the search for the houses. :) With no further ado, enjoy a photo tour! I had here the photos and roster of the ancestral houses in Silay City:

2) Josefita Tionko Lacson Ancestral House

30) Sen. Jose Corteza Locsin Ancestral House

 I couldn't imagine that I made it through! I ended around 11:30 AM. This was 2 hours and 5 minutes to be exact. Wow!

It could have been earlier when it did not rain. After I went to the Cathedral to pray, it rained around 20 minutes. Since, I left my umbrella, I had to stop for a moment before continuing the heritage walk. :)

It was indeed a very fulfilling activity that I made. I made the heritage walk for 2 hours and 5 minutes. I am also challenging you guys/gals to do it faster than I did. LOL Just kidding... :) But if you did it, don't hesitate to share your story :)

Since that was a heritage walk, I didn't take off a penny for the fare. LOL

By the way, there were 3 among the 31 ancestral houses that opened its doors to the tourists. One is the famous BALAY NEGRENSE, DON BERNARDINO JALANDONI MUSEUM, and MANUEL HOFILENA ANCESTRAL HOUSE. I would post the details soon... :) I had the chance to enter the Jalandoni Museum and it costed me 40 pesos for the entrance fee (student rate).

After this, my tummy had to be refilled. Chicken Inasal... Where were you?

Up next... Day 2 Part 3: Chicken Inasal and Talisay City's the Ruins.

      that's why they're the best tourism oriented city hehehhe :) well, not all in the heritage walk are preserved, some are abandoned but still standing... i hope they will continue to develop the place that can make the place vibrant with the houses. :)

      Hi kuya bon! yeah, dami pang old houses aside sa 31, may mga old houses pa... Isa sa pangarap kong puntahan ang Ilocos. World Heritage Site yun diba, sana ang sa Silay City rin maging World Heritage Site. :)

      Yung house no. 13, maganda nga pero di masyadong makita dahil sa yabong ng mga puno. :)

      Salamat sa pagcomment kuya :) sana magbalik balik ka a bagong blog ko :)
