Last Holy Thursday (April 21) we went on a trip to Bagac, Bataan to a place called Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. Here's a description of the place from their website.

 

A living museum of Philippine customs and traditions are re-born in a community typical of the 18th to early 20thcentury Philippines. Historical Principalia or noble class mansions, House of Stone or Bahay na Bato and Wooden Stilt houses that once, were old and decaying architectural pieces of a bygone era and slowly fading into the background of modern urban life are now, restored in a picturesque setting reminiscent of a Juan Luna or Amorsolo paintings. These architectural treasures that have been carefully and painstakingly reconstructed from different parts of the country and rebuilt, "brick by brick" and "plank by plank" now , stand resplendent with pride against a backdrop of majestic mountains, expansive rice fields and a running river that flows to the sea.

 

Currently, there are twenty seven heritage architectures, each full with memories and history.

 

Walking along village cobblestone streets or riding one of the caruajes (horse-drawn carriages) commands a feeling of nostalgia and wonder, romance and appreciation of simple living at its best.

 

At Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the legacy of our forefathers and the beautiful Filipino traditions live on. It is a step back into the past, reliving the age- old traditions and practices distinct to our culture, without leaving the luxury and comforts of the modern world.

 

A showcase of Filipino talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar takes pride in the past... And keeps its hope for the future.

 

I took some photos of the place and here they are.

Way back 2014, may aport ako na taga Bagac and apparently may access sila sa resort since local naman.

Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, pinapayagan ang mga local na mag dala ng guests. Pero as per my aport marami daw abusado kaya tinigil yung ganitong  system. (Pardon me if hindi ko maalala lahat ng details pertaining to this statement)

During that time, dami pang on going projects, on going pa ata yung simbahan o hindi oa nabubuksan. 

Anyhow, hopefully makabalik sooooon
