- A virtual tour to one of Iloilo's grandest Mansions!
Special thanks to Mr. Lance Ledesma for giving us permission to shoot inside.
The house is not still available to be viewed by the public since it's a private property.
Wow! Thanks for this one of a kind experience Ilonggo Tube! Iloilo is indeed rich in History❤️
I couldn't forget Don Joaquin Ledesma, early morning on May we used to gather flowers for our afternoon offering the Flores de Mayo from Jaro plaza, he was always there at the balcony of his mansion ,passing by he will call his helper to gather some flowers, this melendres,kalachuchi,adelfa for us,and sometimes this fruit tambis, he was really a good man, sweet memories of my childhood experiencing the Flores de Mayo, kindhearted man so with Donya Magdalena Jalandoni ,humble rich people of Jaro ,naming just a few
How old are you now mam?
It is nice to hear from a direct testimony from Evelyn Gerano. We wish to learn more about the history of this Mansion
This is just heartbreaking to see. Me, my aunt, and a few relatives, visited Iloilo a few years ago, and we had the most amazing time. We saw plenty of mansions, some are being restored and some are left to decay. What I love about Iloilo is the rich history and esp the people. One of the nicest I've encountered. And even when you are in the city, you are not stressed nor pressured bc there is basically no traffic. So worth the trip! I remember when SM restored the Molo Mansion, I said to myself, I hope someone would do the same for the other mansions left. Just looking at the ornate carvings, wood panelling and wooden floors here, this would probably cost millions just to restore and recreate. This house speaks old world charm. If I were a millionaire, I would certainly buy this and restore it. I could care less about the cost bc the house is a real treasure on its own. I miss Iloilo so much and I hope I get to visit sometime soon.
I felt so bad at the sorry state of the mansion. This is what happens when the descendants do not care the least about their parents’ legacy.
...same here I felt sad for the moral decay in our society it’s a reflection of what have happened to us all now. They could at least clean it or donate it to the historical commission.
Ibthought, everyone hated the rich and their legacy.
No hate just saying.
I think it's more like they can't afford to maintain the mansion
Maganda Sana kaso ang dugyot at marumi tingnan sorry prangka lng po
When i was a little girl my cousins and i used to play in the jaro plaza and i was always in awed looking at that magnificent house that i wished i lived in that house. I didn’t even know that Don Joaquin was the brother of my granduncle. Our ancestral house was just across the plaza too but much older by now over 2 centuries..imelda stayed there during the marcos lopez campaign in iloilo.
The pride of Iloilo. This should be rehabilitated but retain its beautiful structural design. 😀
This magnificent historical architecture badly needs a restoration. Sayang. Ang ganda ng mansion. One can easily imagine how this place looks like in its prime.
Yes, I felt the same way. Probably, our Government can allocate funds to preserve, maintain, and promote tours for heritage sites like this, for generations to see and appreciate. My mother is an Ilongga (Miraflores) from Jaro. I am happy to see this virtual tour, and would like to see it restored in its grandeur as it was designed to be :)
Schooled for 4 years in Iloilo City and I always passed by that mansion every time I walk from my dorm going to Jaro cathedral- and always wondered what the interior of this mansion looked like. It took me a pandemic to see this visual tour hehe. Such a shame this piece of past going into waste. I hope the National Historical Commission would consider restoring this.
Wow finally nasilip natin. I was also really curious what's inside that old mansion. I was surprised may occupants pa pala till this day. Though napabayaan na ang mansion, I wish maisipan nila to restore like what they did sa Mansion malapit sa Molo Plaza.
Please do recognize this as one of the Iloilo's finest masterpiece...i hope the one that holds this mansion had a heart of good stewardship.
Everytime we pass by the mansion I would try to peek through the windows or anywhere! Glad to FINALLY see!
Curiosity closed! Huhuhu I cried. Please please this heritage mansion. So beautiful and priceless.
Proud Ilonggo here. Iloilo is one of the richest city in the History.
felt sad seeing how neglected this piece of history is. i can just imagine how majestic this mansion is during her heyday.
lol i thought it was abandoned oops =D yeah indeed still looks decent but would look indeed majestic
I suppose this is one of the few houses in Iloilo where it has been neglected for many years.Although it is dilapidated, still you can see the grandeur of its architectural design and I can just imagine what it was like during its heyday.
So far, the rest of the mansions in the city are very well preserved and still in use.
I wish to buy this house I live 3 blocks away from this alluring and tantalizing house. I always admire the person who decorated the entire mansion, and I've been always curious what kind of person lives in that house. I hope one day the restoration efforts of Iloilo today should make an effort to buy off this property it can be used as a museum or perhaps someone would buy it and restore it and make it into a hotel or a guest house .. one day I would buy that house and live there.
This mansion reminded me of the mansions I visited in Rhode Island. I hope they restore this property back to its grandiose days
Finally ♥️ since then I’ve been so curious what would be the interior architecture for this mansion. Thank you!
Parehas tayo.
Sometimes late at night you could still see the apparition of don joaquin sitting in the balcony and admiring his beloved view of jaro plaza
Truly Iloilo ; Where The Past Is Always Present .♥️
The rooftop would have a command view of Jaro. The front of the house should been included. But over all the video is a glimpse of what the old place looks like. 👍
I wish they restore the mansion and it’s very beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful!
Owwww we already visited that place 3 years ago and we don't know everything about that mansion and we've been so curious...
Thanks for the info✨❣️...
kanugon manami tani tamad lang mag lempyo... mansion sagwa swala sa sulod.
I suggest places like this in Iloilo should be converted to boutique hotels or museums similar to Vigan!
The Iloilo government and its people should take advantage of its powers as a local government to develop the province and its cities without depending so much on the national government. If it can deal with foreign investors, it should do so.
My mom is Ilongga by the way and I wanna see Iloilo to have world-class infrastructures as I believe Ilonggos are brainy. They just have to embrace modernity and technology at the sane time preserving their culture and traditions.
The thing is no investor is interested on doing that. Old mansions has some history of “multo” I doubted people will stay on that place if Incase turned to be hotel.
agree
That will happen if Ilo Ilo government strive to develop in it and there will be no more n.p.a terrorist because merchants and investors are afraid to put up a business in Ilo ilo because of the terrorist threat that's why it's hard for Ilo Ilo to improve.
Sadly, it’s private property. Even if declared a historical site, the city government can’t buy it off. The power of eminent domain doesn’t work that way. When declared as a historical site, they can demand the owners to restore and preserve it. The caveat is that the restoration is restricted by the means of the owner. In the Philippines, you generally can’y force a person to sell property. The instances when you can force a person to sell property are limited and are restricted thereto. The hope of this property is when the current owner finally decides to sell it to someone who can restore it.
Galing imagine while watching nasa harapan ako ng mansion nila🥺♥️ sobrang luma na but nakaka amaze. this is my dream i love old house 🤍
Nasayangan ako... Maganda at malaki sana ang Mansion pag nasa tamang pangangalaga.. Sana marestore din ito tulad ng sa Molo Mansion...
I always pass by this mansion but never even knew its name. Thanks for the tour.
If the channel is about Ilonggo heritage then you might be interested to uncover the original Ilonggo fighting arts as well. It is not Kali, Arnis, Silat or Eskrima. It didn't have a name until it was called Abre Mano during the spanish occupation. They have been hiding the system since the arrival of the Srivijayans here in Panay. They decided to come out last year with the aim of reintroducing the lost art to the Ilonggos starting with law enforcement, but was halted due to the pandemic. I know one of the keepers of the system and he would like to share the missing history of the Ilonggos. If you are interested to add this to your content, I would gladly arrange for you a meeting with them. It is good to preserve of what is left of our heritage for future generations.
@Average Muy Thank you so much for sharing! Indeed there's still a lot to be discovered in Iloilo's History. I'll message you soon when I'm done editing other videos. Thank you 😊
Panay has a deeper history besides all the grandeur of the city. In the hinderlands of panay between iloilo and capiz, lives the indegenous people the Panay Bukidnon, they’re descendants of the 10 datus who came to panay from indonesia. They’ve preserved their culture and tradition, they’ve been featured by Kara David in her documentary ‘ang huling prinsesa’..and their legacy is written in the archives of the univ. of the phils. in the visayas in iloilo city.
Hi! How can I message you? I wanted to learn more about Iloilo culture within the 3-day stay this weekend.
Wow na feature ang ilonggo's pride... proud Ilonggo here
Nice video with nice information..unlike doon sa isang youtuber na nag vlog nito pero wala man lang information ,walang background music...parang namasyal lang sa loob ang video..
Thank you..more vlogs ..
thank you for documenting it before its gone.
Very haunting place you can feel the spirits around the mansion
more of this please! especially sa underground sng Iloilo National High School tani if possible? Awesome video! Keep it up!
Good day po im a very late comment fsayang ang pinaghirapan dir ledesma ito ay symbolo kanilang buong angkan mag pa sa hangang ngaun na miyembro familya lalong lalo na ang bayan jaro iloilo sa hindi natin alam ang kadahilanan sana may dumating p pag asa thank you po
FINALLYYYY i've always been so curious to see whats inside this house.
I always found it creepy everytime i passed by on the way to school.
Nownthat i am older, i wish it could be restored to its former glory and turned into some kind of museum of sorts. But also im glad that its still being used as a residence.
idk but the music and the whole vibe is giving me the chills and i feel like im in a horror game linte HAHSHSH
Gkakibot ko ya gane sa music bweset hahahahah
Omg. Amazing. Okey man gali ang sa sulod. Pero kung sa gwa daw ka creepy gid.
Thank.you sa pagtour im sure have a care taker live there and care that mansion.dito lng kmi sa Mandurriao at di ko alam ang story about palagi akong dumadaan dyan at nakakatakot nmm.
Meron pong nkatira dyan, ang family nanjan pa po. Pumasok kmi jan ng tita ko medyo luma ng loob pero ung legit family jan nkatira most especially ang mga anak na babae ng Ledesma. Un lng sayang nga sana na restore🙏❤️
Sa wakas naka pasok na rin hihi
Remembering during my second year high in De Paul College Jaro. I miss you Ilo- Ilo
Thanks to this. Dugay na ko na curious kun anu itsura sa sulod, atleast nakita ko na sya bisan sa video lang. 🥰
woah thankyou for touring us. since i was highschool i am really curious what's inside of the mansion. Good job!
They should redo the place just like the Molo mansion.
Wow very beautiful mansion. Pag na restore sobrang ganda for sure.
Nakita ko na gid man ang sulod sang balay taga Jaro man ko kag lapit lang house ko di..sa pagkabalo ko still ang bata gaistar da sa mansion its a family friend..kunogon kung hindi ma restore ga takilid na gani ang balay..Daw may attempt naman na sang una ibaligya ang mansion but daw wala gid gaka dayun mahal man I think and dako pa need for restoration.. I hope ang City na lang magasto para mabalik ang kanami niya.
Wow nice sharing.
Everytime I see the house, I thought that the owners of the house just left the house in its current state. I just wish that even though it is now only lived in by the caretakers it would have been kept in a clean state. The photos alone of its former owners should have been retrieved by its descendants and not left hanging in there with no one even to clean it away of its dusts. I wish someday it can be restored to its former glory. Maybe the Iloilo government can do something about it?
Wow. Ang ganda! Sayang hindi xa narestore. Sana makavisit minsan, since may relatives kami jan
Halin gd sng pagkabata ko bala curious gd ako sa balay nga ini, kada labay ko galantaw gd ako kun anu ayhan iya sulod lalo na sa gkalat nga my underground kunu lusot sa lain2 nga lugar man diri sa iloilo whehe. Thank you gd sa pagtour heheh.
Madamo nga salamat sa vid! Sang bata kami natawag na namon haunted house kag gasunluganay kami nga dira gina butang ang mga ginakidnap nga bata haha. 27 years na ko sa iloilo pero sa wakas nakita ko gid man ang unod sina. Salamat
Permi ko na na labayan sang una after church.Im always curious what it looks like inside.Nice detail too bad it wasn’t maintained.Thanks for showing us.
Ang galing naman ng Iloilo.
Wow love it old house
Wow so lucky here in San Fernando Pampanga because all heritage houses are well maintained
sad, this mansion has become decrepit. City Government should buy this property & turn it into a museum instead of being neglected. I have lived in America for 41yrs but have never visited Iloilo & other Provinces in Ph. Now that I will be retiring & moving back to Ph. I will have time to visit a lot of these Provinces I have never visited in my life.
Beautiful place needs to be restored and looked after
It would be very nice if it’s professionally restored back to its grandeur. I hope someone buy it tho to restore it.
Wow 😯😲😮😱
Pls make a vertual video of the other mansion beside jaro teds batchoy. Behind May bank. That looks scary too.
More videos like this po 🥺
Beautiful house but I hope some one can restore it to it's former glory
I ve seen this from outside when i went to Ilo ilo for a tour so sad that a beautiful structure such as this is now neglected - i hope the LGU will restore it as a cultural site
Local gov’t. will protect this cultural heritage,renovate for tourist to see and there’s a lot in Iloilo.
The son was famous during the 90's. My late uncle always watch their show performing here in Iloilo City night life scene.
ang dami pang maayos na kahoy.sana may bilyonaryong mag restore.
Soon laag ko dnha puhon 🥰
꧁♡ eerily enchanting ♡꧂
Ang ganda ng bahay. Napabayaan lang talaga
May Caretaker naman😌
As an Ilonggo in every mansion sorrounds iloilo city has its own story to tell according to my parents and ancestors, if you will listen to their stories, you will be amazed how these family lived and lifestyle during their time, And to those who may not know, Jaro fiesta they have a choosen Queen, that come from the clan of the prominent family in Jaro, The mansions and other buildings, can tell how Iloilo have rich cultures and grandeur from the past, upto now, this mansions was taking care of our city as a tourist destination and cannot be touch by anyone even buyers who can afford because its reminds our history then.
Finally!!!
What the heck i want to watch but the sound effects is a bit scary! I feel like it was a haunted mansion!😭😭 mute q nalang sound!😭😭😂
same here 🤣
Hahaha ITS SPOOKY/EERIE.. I don't wanna VENTURE there ALONE! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tama ka! Pakiramdam ko tuloy may bigla nalang lalabas sa video na nilalang na mukhang di ko hinahangad na makita sa buong buhay ko. Ayayay😭😭😭😰
I cant believe somebody still lives in there. He must have balls of a wrecking ball.
uhm my friend lives there and we usually hang out there and it's not really that creepy than what this video depicts.
Very sad to see that the mansion is fast decaying! This kind of heritage should be saved by local govt to preserve its antiquity and the history of the rich and famous of Iloilo!
Hi, Kuya Val Happy Valentine,
I saw an old lady at the window while passing by some years ago. I assume she was the caretaker at the time. I wish someone had been helping her, or will be helping her, so the mansion doesn't fall apart further.
On another note, my grandmother was an Arguelles. After Word War II, many of the distant members of the clan either got separated or went their own way. They had a lovely house at Zamora, but it was razed during the Japanese occupation.
I think the old lady you've mention is the owner of the house she is Emma M.Ledesma @ 95. Shes very pretty and mestize known to be snow white of Jaro during her days
Hopefully marestored back to its original beauty. This kind of treasures are our history. . .
Scary like movie music but nice shot!
More video like this please
bat parang hndi man naglilinis yung mga nkatira jan
The original furnishing of this house are all gone except for the "santo" in the sala..☹
if my history proves me right or otherwise, the Filipino-American war was back in the late 19th century. This house was built in 1925. So I think this house served as a hospital back in the Japanese Occupation.
😍😍😍
Angganda ng mga ganyang house matibay kesa sa mga bahay ngayun.sayang sana nirestore angsaya mamasyal sa mga ganyang house un makaluma.
Sayang di man lang pinaayos at inalagaan ng mga nagmana!!
Ledesma Mansion ❤️
Hoping that SM could do the same to what they did in Molo Mansion.
New subs👋 nami💓
ginabasketan ni namon sang mga classmate ko hehe
I wanna go to iloilo🥺
❤
THUMBS UP WITH CAPITAL LETTERS. .
I hope the mansion will be restored
Ka saka na ko dra way back 35 yrs ago sister of my lola Agre is one of cook of Inday Emma & family. Tani ma renovate na na sya.
This mansion was used in a movie of hilda koronel and amy austria...they were pulling each other o the entrance stairs..shouting at each other
Ung bahay nmin sa bcol balak ibenta ng mga kpatid ko!40 yrs old n ung bhay nmin!labag sa kalooban ko!at yun na lng ang nattira sa mga pundar n g mgulang nmin!
A big Sayang to see the grandiose of this house fade with the passing of time.
This is unacceptable it is very sad IloIIo historical landmarks which never again to built the same architectural structures landscape designed very seldom to see in other place. The local government have something to do to restore this historic site we know all the fact that Mansion heritage owned by private properties but the LGU must suppose to be involve the restoration. Ilongo must be proud of it. One of kind.. Moment later years by years more to come it will deteriorate and will never the same again remember history doesn't repeats it self, but it often rhymes.
Mas lalo makikita ang ganda nito pag nalinis
Minsan pag uwian na galing ako sa School, Night shift ako. Natatakot talaga ako kapag dadaan ako sa harap ng Mansyon na yan😬 parang may nagmamasid🤪, tagal ko na dito sa Jaro, pero indi ko pa dyan na try magpasok
Dapat Ang local government mag panukala NG Batas na lahat na heratage site bldg man I mansion have axes to enter or open for public to see what is inside but have a entrance fee to see and promote our Guest and forieng and local visitors atract Iloilo
