Home to thousands of vintage glass pieces mostly from the Depression Era in the United States, the Vintage Glasses Museum in Bacolod City is a unique and eccentric shrine to anything glass collected in a span of 30 years when the owner, Tomas Claridad Casiano worked as a butler for a Hollywood movie director and eventually opening his own flower shop for Beverly Hills royalty where he procured unique glasses for his flowers. When he came home to the Philippines, he brought home 66 boxes full of his glass collection and opened the museum as his home was too small for his crystal obsession. His most prized possessions include wine glasses from Queen Victoria's court, a 1915 whisky decanter made for Ford Motors, glass decanters owned by Nancy Reagan, a Russian czar's goblet and glasses made with uranium! Can't recommend this place enough! They only open by appointment so make sure to make reservations first!

Nice place to seek guidance and enlightenment from our beloved God. The place is quite perfect for solemn events like weddings, baptismals and other religious events. I did a lot of pictorials here since I am a photographer. Likewise an iconic and historic place for Bacolod City.

I truly miss this museum. What hapoend to all the nativity scenes? I hope the younger, family inheritors did not squander their ancestors' prized collectibles for a few prices of silver. May this house be an example to all who save up riches on this Earth. Your descendants will just auction off your legacy. Same could be said for 99% of fmaily homes throughout history. I'd be interested in staying at the Bed and Breakfast and seeing if something has survived this makeover. I hated the house had to succumb to this fate. But, what other options did it have? People don't really care for History.

We have visited Bantug Lake Ranch several times already over the years. Each visit was fun, enjoyable and relaxing. Since they already had villas, we decided to stay for the night this time. Check-in/check-out process was smooth. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The service was superb! Felt like a VIP during our stay. The villa was clean and smelled so fresh. We felt secured during the overnight stay. We enjoyed the horseback riding, boating, swimming and even just relaxing in their cabanas and villas. Food was great too! A big improvement from the last time we visited. Definitely coming back..Definitely recommending to family and friends..Definitely the first place that comes to my mind when I need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life!
