Model#25:One of my ongoing projectslow-polygon].Bacolod was 'founded' on 1770,but the present 'city' was chartered on October 19, 1938.This 4-storey bldg was built in site of the Luzuriaga House where the Spanish Imperial Forces formally surrendered Negros to the locals after a stunning theatrical performance worthy of a FAMAS-acting as if the 'banig' cannons encricling Bacolod were real.This surrender document was signed and made official well before the Treaty of Paris was signed where Spain 'ceded' the Philippines to America for $20million.Meaning,Spain cannot give what it had already formally surrendered and recognized to 'The Visayas Republic',making the 20 December 1898],Treaty of Paris legally not affecting Negros and the Visayan Islands to America.By International Law, America had no claim to the Visayas,and its actions of bombarding Cebu by its gunboats,burning and pillaging of Iloilo,and the blackmail of the Negros Canton Republic were illegal and without basis.It was simply colonization by force for the claim of the Treaty of Paris binding the entire archipelago to Spain was spurious.This site is HALLOWED GROUND for all Ilonggos and Visayans:the surrender of an Imperial Power to the native population,our ancestor's blood sweat and tears-and stellar acting career moments, happened here.Modelling Notes:1.2hrs,Subject Photography:2/26/2009] #Bacolod #City #City_Government #City_Hall #Government_offices #jcgayeng #Negros #Negros_Occidental #Philippines
