The mere mention of those two words make me drool.

What they say:

Run your hands to the posts and walls and feel the marble-llike effect of high grade concrete. - copied verbatim from the sign at the location

[I love Bacolod because...] the food is good, everything is near, and my ancestral home The Ruins is there! - Jayvee Fernandez; http://abuggedlife.com

The highlight of the day, and probably the whole [Bacolod] vacation was our visit to The Ruins in Talisay City. This is a gorgeous, gorgeous place bathed in golden sunlight and covered by the romantic history of a family. My husband nimbly organized cocktails and dinner overlooking the mansion. - Gege Sugue; http://islandhopper.blogspot.com, http://gegeflipspages.blogspot.com
