Hello Mary Anne, my name is YJ Isaac. My Lolo lives in the house you have pictured up there. I stay in this house every time I visit the town during Holy Week, Summer Vacations and whenever school permits me. I love it there. I would like to invite everyone who have viewed these pictures to take a look at my album, too. To be honest, the primary reason I joined this online community is to show those curious of the house's interior - a side of the house which glory has never faded. True that on the outside, the house needs a little furbishing, with time and nature catching up on it - but the inside is a whole new story. I do hope upon posting the imagery of the house's interiors, people can "see the other side of the story", literally. :) The house still posseses its charm, no matter how one looks at it - and I say its still glorious, especially with the original owners' ancestors anticipating every summer vacation so as to stay there.

--------Now here's my response to Ruby ------------------- Hi Ruby! Glad of you to drop by my album about Unisan. I tried posting in your message center but no one can post there except yourself. You may want to change the settings inside your "Account" tab and going into another sub-account tab called "My Options" - so you could enable the option for others to write in your message center. Now as to why I entitled the shot "Faded Glory": the house is beautifully constructed typical of most old Spanish home architecture. Normally, 2-storey floors, wide open windows, intricate wooden balusters or ornate woodwork just below and above the window line, canopied window awning with intricate lace-like designs at the fringes, etc. My own grandparents owned such one. We don't see this kind of home dwellings being built anymore in the cities, even in the provinces as most OFWs construct their homes similar to homes of the country of their employ - mostly mediterannean, victorian or modern country type of architecture. So to chance upon such old Spanish-type homes in my travel to South Luzon is a wonderful happenstance and sheer delight for me. Happily, Unisan still has these Spanish homes - which has brought me back to wonderful memories with my grandparents. Thus, "Faded Glory"! ~~~Mary Ann

My family grew up in this house. We lived here during our childhood. We still visit the place when we go back to Unisan.
