I think the Cebú Provincial Capitol and Misamis Occidental Provincial Capitol are also works of Architect Juan Arelláno.

yeah..i stand corrected. both the cebu and negros occ capitols stand to the testament of the great works of juan arellano because to this day, their beauty remain to be a subject of awe.

TREASURES IN SILAY



The Armin Jalandoni Ancestral home became Silay's Sanggunian Panglungsod Office almost a decade ago.

With all the political discourse and public service associated with the building we often fail to notice a heritage and artistic treasure in its walls - murals with Filipiniana, rural and mythical themes. These features in this turn of the century house survived time, thus it is imperative that we show appreciation and preserve these truly Silaynon jewels.

Last Thursday, world renowned photographer Luca Tettoni (http://www.tettoni.com/bio/luca.html) together with writer Elizabeth Reyes (http://www.goodreads.com/author/show...zabeth_V_Reyes) took time to admire the murals. It will be part of their exciting new coffee-table book, "Philippine Style".

A Silay icon, the horno economico.

San Sebastian Donostia, Spain



San Sebastian Bacolod, Philippines

The way I see it, its not a duplicate...only a similarity in design

How about the Leyte Capitol? It also looks similar to our Capitol

The Leyte Provincial Capitol or Ang Pamunuan san Lalawigan sa Leyte is the work of another famous architect, Tomas Mapua.
