Silay City Heritage Tour | April 2008
During the late 1800s to early 1900s, the booming sugar industry in Iloilo paved the way for the migration of affluent families to Negros. These families turned vast idle lands in Negros into Sugar Cane Plantations and Haciendas. Eventually, an international port was opened in Silay City, which became the center of commerce in Negros.
To date, many old buildings still remain intact including a grand church, several commercial, and residential buildings.

A very nice series of photos. Salamat gid para sa posting mo. I have a lot of memories of Silay and have been in several of the buildings depicted.
Kon may tiempo, dapat nga makadto ka sa Brgy Patag sang Silay; matahum man didto.

Silay people are dalok with their rice. All the millionaire old maids live in Silay. If you are looking for a very rich wife, then come to Silay.
All the prostitutes and drug dealers are in Silay.
That is how they make their Millions.
