Have you ever seen a house being transported from one place to another? It's an interesting sight, to say the least. But what if we told you that there was a historical property that made its way all the way from Bais City to Dumaguete? That's right - this ancestral home underwent quite a journey to get here, but it was all worth it in the end.

 

A number of culture and heritage advocates aimed to salvage this house from total ruin after it was home to Senor Marcelo Rotea in the 1930s until after the Japanese occupation. Although it took a lot of time, careful planning, and hard work, this ancestral home finally made its way to Dumaguete.
