9th IYAS Writing Workshop 6: Silay Historical Tour


Parang nag-aayos ng buhok 'yung anghel?

May 1, 2009: Pagkatapos ng tour sa The Ruins (early 1900s mansion), dinala ang mga Fellows ng 9th IYAS Creative Writing Workshop sa Silay City para sa Part 2 ng Cultural & Historical Tour.

Sa kasamaang palad, halos lahat ng pinuntahan naming museo (tulad ng Balay Negrense), panaderia, at tindahan ay sarado. Labor Day kasi. Umuulan pa. Di na kami nakababa ng USLS bus at hinangaan na lang ang mga Spanish-era structures mula sa loob.

Buti na lang at nadatnan naming bukas ang El Ideal , tinaguriang "Silay's Original Bakery." Mula sa Multiply ng El Ideal:

"Established by Mr. Cesar Locsin y Lacson in the circa 1920's and handed down to his daughter and now on its 3rd and 4th generation owners, El Ideal continues the legacy their grand father built."

Namakyaw kami ng mga ipapasalubong; nakaisang kahon ako. Pagkatapos ay binigyan kami ng tour ng panaderia. The highlight: their 1920s brick oven.

Pabalik ng Bacolod, dumaan kami sa Balay ni Tana Dicang (Lizares Mansion) sa Talisay City. Nagsisilbing museo at art gallery ang antigong bahay.

Pagkatapos ng tour, bumalik na kami sa Univ. of St. La Salle para maghanda para sa aming Fellows Night...at nasa susunod na album 'yun.

Ang kumpletong albums ng 9th IYAS Creative Writing Workshop:May ilang pics dito na hiniram ko mula kina Jowie at Petra.

    I think that this is the 1900 Gaston House, now the Balay Negrense. I hope to visit this some day.

    some wiki-research:

    "The Balay Negrense was originally the ancestral house of Victor F. Gaston, a son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston and Prudencia Fernandez. The elder Gaston is credited as one of the pioneers of sugarcane cultivation in this portion of the Philippine archipelago. A native of Normandy in France, he married a Filipina from Batangas where he initially began experimenting with sugar production before relocating to Negros."

    now i remember, our Negrense co-Fellow mentioned something about a French owner, tama pala :)

    the outside is deceiving -- the house is quite expansive. medyo mataas nga lang ang entrance fee nila (i heard one of the seniors in our group complain about the high fees). oh well, at least it's for cultural preservation than repairs of an otherwise-okay road hehe.

    yup, it's the ceiling of the receiving area :)

  21. Phillip Jr KimpoJune 15, 2009 at 11:05 AM

    hmmm, i'm not really sure. i can't remember if these are from a previous or future exhibit in the art gallery. nakalatag lang kasi sila sa isang sulok, without any accompanying notes or description.
