Saturday... July 18, 2009... a mid-lit day... sprinkling rain... our vehicle headed to a place where I usually just passing through... neglected by my so curious mind... uninterested of discovering why this place is called Yulo's Park and is a landmark when you ride a jeepney to the south of Bacolod.
A warm welcome by the owner greeted us as we enter this huge forgotten plaza. As I enter the mansion and climb the grand a-bit-stiff stair case, you will be mesmerized of the volume this Grand House in her golden years. Immersed with so much of memories that may even complete Bacolod's History. Indeed this structure deserves to be called our Balay Bacolod.
It features a lot of grandeur of Philippine architectures previous barons used; muebles so beautiful; huge china collections; so many picture archives not just of the house but also of events in Bacolod; funerals so grand that limousines lining just to carry the flower wreaths were only here in Bacolod; and the one to be so worth-watching is the hand-painted glass rimmed with gold made especially for a grand banquet to honor Pres. Manuel L. Quezon.
"O my prayer to You Lord, that You bless the Family Yulo to have a curator passionately inclined of upholding the forgotten Mansion and Bacolod as well. May You let this be our Jewel of Bacolod's history."
