Talisay: Home of heritage houses | via Inq_Lifestyle
Founded most likely as a town in 1788 and as a parish in 1848 under the tutelage of San Nicolas de Tolentino, Minuluan, today’s Talisay City in Negros Occidental, has been opulent since the Spanish colonial period, thanks to its first parish priest, Fr. Fernando Cuenca, OAR, who introduced sugarcane farming in the town and in Negros, and invented a hydraulic machine to process the noble cane.
For Fr. Cuenca’s immense contributions to the development of Minuluan, renamed Talisay after 1912, a monument was erected at the town plaza on May 30, 1974, his 150th birth anniversary.Minuluan’s economic success, due mainly to sugarcane and sugar production, grew steadily from the time of its founding as a parish so that by 1870s, the town was producing around six million kilograms of sugar.
Adrian Lizares, the family foundation representative, said their clan is very honored by the distinction given to the house and expresses gratitude to the institutions involved in the declaration and upkeep of the house such, as the NMP.“We are dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the Balay, as was willed by Lola Dicang,” said the fourth generation Lizares.
In front of this house is the ruins of an old simborio or a smokestack used for mills producing sugar.
