las casas filipinas de acuzar
11 Jun
A passion project of Jerry Acuzar of San Jose Builders fame, this is truly a gift to the Filipino people!
Way back in 2005, I already heard about a guy who bought old Filipino houses and transplanted them in a heritage town, and I remember that he got a lot of flack for taking these “treasures” out of their original context and arranging them in a place of his choosing, as if on a collector’s whim. I must admit though, that this is no whim, and we owe Mr. Acuzar a multitude of thanks and support for his vision.
Set on a beachside property in Bagac, Bataan, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is a bigger Vigan (which, more than a heritage town, is actually a “street” of old Filipino houses)… or maybe in light of my recent trip to Old Manila, an Intramuros without the walls.
Beautiful. Where can you find such an architectural festival for Pinoy talent?
