The Laguda House: A remnant of Iloilo’s glorious past
“); } else { echo(”
“); } ?>Even in its ruined state, the Laguda House continues to capture the awe of onlookers with its mysterious aura that never fails to spark the memories of its glorious days. This neoclassic edifice is located along General Hughes highway, which used to be one of Iloilo’s “high street” and was lined with grand sea side villas of the elite.
Like the Fort San Pedro, one could surmise that the Laguda House was also bombed during World War II and later abandoned.
The Laguda house is roughly 500 meters from Plaza Libertad and can be reached by riding a “Jaro CPU” jeep in front of the Masonic Temple/NSO beside Plaza Libertad. It is situated at the right side of General Hughes highway. You will know if you have went past the Laguda House if you have already reached Fort San Pedro.

replyi’v heard that the relatives wanted to build a building in der lot because it is still a private property…Iloilo government stopped da demolition. ofcourz daw polis ang DOT kg local government “they are always late!” Nagalabay ako dira before kg i couldn’t help it but to turn my back with great admiration sa remains sang nasambit nga mansyon. In my own judgement the Laguda House is ‘the most splendiferous mansion house in Iloilo.’ if I were rich, i’ll buy the place and restores it back to its archetype visual aspect… Why our life here in iloilo is so slow and we always act late? maybe matamad kita kg wala sense of nationalism… TAMA?
replyNo offense ha….it seems that the residents near the site don’t care about it as they sometimes dump their garbage towards the area. I hope it’s different nowadays.
