Bernardino Jalandoni Ancestral House in Bacolod

On my previous post, I shared with you our visit to Victor Gaston's anscestral house, more popularly known as Balay Negrense in Bacolod. Today, let's head to Bernardino Jalandoni's Ancestral House which is just a few blocks away from Balay Negrense, located along Rizal Street (formerly Calle Real), both in Silay City, Negros Occidental. 

Balay Negrense - Bacolod Ancestral House

Aside from our trip to Mambukal Falls, Peter and I also visited the lovely ancestral houses in Bacolod. On this blog post, I'll concentrate on Balay Negrense first. 

So going out of Saltimboca Inn where we stayed, we hailed a jeepney with a sign board Libertad-Bata going to Robinson's Mall (Php8/pax). Then we took another jeepney going to Silay (Php15/pax). When we saw this big church from afar (San Diego Pro-Cathedral), we went down at Rizal cor. Zulieta Sts. near Silay City Public Park and started asking people where Balay Negrense is located. 

Apparently, it's just walking distance from the park. The church is just also there at the next street (Rizal cor. Zamora Sts.) and all the other ancestral houses are also within the vicinity.

The Ruins, Bacolod

My husband and I just got back from Bacolod. It’s our 2nd time to go there. The first was in 2006 when we went to Inampulugan Island in Guimaras and stayed inCosta Aguada Resort. We basically just passed by Bacolod and went straight to the boat station from the airport. This time around though, we explored some of the must-see places on foot and via jeepney and tricycle rides.

I don’t have much time right now to give you all the details. Suffice it to say that there were just three things we didn’t like about this whole Bacolod trip:
