After a gruelling day of work, we took a trip to Bacolod, the provincial capital. There, we went to the city's largest mall, SM Mall. It was weird to step inside such a huge mall after such a long time in Bago!
We also visited The Ruins, an old mansion built by a sugar baron, Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson, for his Portuguese wife. It was deliberately set on fire during WWII so that it wouldn't be used as a headquarter by the Japanese forces. However, the cement mixture used was so high quality that it managed to withstand all the fire, leaving only the skeleton as the remains.






The next day, we went to visit an elementary school that was in the running for an eco-school competition. It was amazing how creative they were with their recycled materials! I really applauded their devotion to being a green school.







Just a short one because I didn't get many pictures of the turnover ceremonies or our paintings!
