Right after “The Ruins” I went to the “Negros Museum” and explored the historical exhibits, and I was fascinated by their history and arts. The Negros Museum in Bacolod City celebrates the rich heritage of Negros Island. Its exhibits feature the local visual arts, historical artifacts, and ethnographic collections, highlighting the island’s past and cultural traditions. The museum also has a children’s exhibit with interactive displays and activities. Besides its exhibits, the museum hosts events and workshops to preserve and celebrate the island’s cultural legacy. Entrance fee: Regular: 100.00 Php Student: 80.00 Php Shout out to the man who introduced me to museums, arts and history, thank you. I have great respect for you and am deeply grateful for the knowledge and passion you have shared with me. Your influence has profoundly enriched my life._kenny🖤

 In 2016, I read a book that featured "The Ruins", and after reading about it, I wanted to visit the place so bad. On June 13th, I caught an early flight to Bacolod-alone! It was my first time in the city without knowing anyone, as in zero😁. All these photos are thanks to my trusty tripod (a perfect purchase 😆). I am fascinated by the history of “ The Ruins” since this mansion was built by Don Mariano as a tribute to his beloved wife, Maria who passed away during her 11th pregnancy. The symbol "E" facing each other is actually the initials "M and M" stand for Mariano and Maria. When viewed sideways, they form a unique and romantic symbol of their enduring love. The Ruins, known as the "Taj Mahal of Negros", is a popular tourist attraction, celebrated for its romantic history and beautiful architecture. Traveling alone to a place I’ve never been is both fulfilling and liberating. I’m happy to check this off my bucket list._kenny🖤

Originally, it should have been 4 nights in Baguio, but I suddenly mentioned to her that I wanted to see Vigan City and the famous Calle Crisologo, and of course, she wanted to visit the place as well. Calle Crisologo in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, is one of the most beautiful streets in the Philippines. It boasts centuries-old stone houses, lovely tungsten lamps, and antique cobblestone, where horse-drawn carriages or kalesas are still used for transport.   https://guidetothephilippines.ph/destinations-and-attractions/calle-crisologo Right after our trip to Baguio City, we decided to visit Vigan City in Ilocos Sur.
