BACOLOD CITY – Seven landmarks in Negros Occidental, which are part of the Sugar Cultural Landscape of Negros, have been tentatively listed as a world heritage site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
CECILIA Tirol , director for Visayas Museums of the National Museum of the Philippines , the Yulo family, represented by Ynes Reyes Ganuelas , and local government officials headed by Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson and Bacolod Councilor Em Ang , unveil the national historical marker at Yulo’s Park in Barangay 14, Bacolod City on Thursday, August 22.
Lacson said that vast sugarcane fields, grand ancestral homes, and heritage sites, and even the laidback lifestyle, all tell the stories of how the communities have been shaped by this industry, creating a lasting influence that spans generations. The 105-year-old park, now considered as an Important Cultural Property of Bacolod, was built by the late Don Mariano Yulo, former Negros Occidental governor and senator during the Commonwealth period, whose son, Alfredo Yulo, also played a significant role in the city’s history, having served as the mayor of Bacolod from May 27, 1940, to May 29, 1942.
For aesthetic and economic reasons, preserving historical buildings or spaces can bring charm or character to a neighborhood, community, or a city, creating a synergy, and contributing to the economic livelihood of the community through tourism, the councilor said.
