Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Ancestral House is a two-storey heritage house turned into a museum owned by the family of Bernardino and Ysabel Jalandoni in Silay City in the province of Negros Occidental, the Philippines. Because of its cultural, architectural, and/or historical significance, it is one of the recognized and declared heritage houses of the Philippines by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).
I went here at 3:52 p.m. on August 29, 2013 with my old office mates, Chenie and Lindsay. This was during our Silay Heritage Walk in Negros Occidental, the 24th province on my list.
