Real de Acuzar Part 2

This is the second set of the photos I have taken in Ciudad Real de Acuzar located in Bagac, Bataan. This community of restored houses and buildings is spearheaded by Gerry Acuzar who happens to own the famous San Jose Builders. There are more than twenty houses and buildings already restored in the area with few more awaiting construction of furnishings. There are also plans of building a church there to make the community complete.

Very beautiful scenery and the houses are very beautifully designed and unique. You must have a fun time taking lots of photos of them.

gusto ko talagang dalawin ang BATAAN....kung marami lang time.

I really think we should exert effort to preserve our old house. they make the Philippines unique in this part of the world. they are our heritage.....

Ang gaganda ng mga lumang bahay. It's a good thing may mga tao na gusto talagang tumulong sa pag preserve nito. Kahanga-hanga.

The old houses are really amazing. The structure and design. Historical too, di ba?
