The Ruins Mansion is the remains of an ancestral home built in 1920 by a wealthy sugar baron named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. Don Mariano constructed the mansion as a testament of his love for his Portuguese wife, Cora Maria Osorio Rosa-Braga, after she passed away in 1911. Maria, who was pregnant with their eleventh child at the time, lost her and their baby’s lives after figuring in an accident. Don Mariano built the structure in a 440-hectare sugar plantation situated in the border of present-day Talisay and Bacolod. Its architecture was described as Italianate due to deriving inspiration from Italian Architecture. However, it was later set aflame in 1942 by Filipino guerilla fighters employed by the United States Armed Forces during the Second World War. This was done in order to prevent its use as a military office by the Invading Japanese Forces. It continuously burned for three days until only its current cement frame was left standing. The original intention was to burn it to the ground. Despite losing the majority of the mansion, its ruins have been recognized as one of the architectural wonders of the Philippines. It has also gained titles such as the “Taj Majal of the Philippines.” -guidetothephilippines.ph #TheRuins #TheRuinsBacolod #Travel #Philippines (at The Ruins Talisay City Negros Occidental) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWXYbBvWjK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE RUINS

[jmmontero-poetic-af]

We have chemistry they say

Well, chemistry my ass

We were a deadly combo

Creating explosions everywhere we go

Burning good memories and making nightmares like a pro

Reminiscing past mistakes and making breakfast out of them

Feeding each other lies that tasted like vanilla ice

Puked evrything out since you added cyanide

We agreed to end this crazy charade

Made a truce with our tears as witness

With handshakes and fake smiles we parted ways

Knowing perfectly well we messed each other up for the next love

So good luck to us
