There used to be one but now there are three – one, where the founder of Don Salvador Benedicto, its first mayor and now a Sanguniang Panlalawigan Board Member, Nehemias G. De la Cruz. The second one is home to the current mayor, Mayor Marxlen Del a Cruz and the third one, still undergoing construction is for the other son, Nehemias Jr.
The Stone House has been featured in many local and national television programs including one aired on the The Filipino Channel (TFC). You will find many interesting furniture/art pieces all over the place. Some of my favorites are the old oil lamp which was revived and used as outdoor lamp, the tree trunk which served as the base of a garden table and the body of the sewing machine which got a makeover and is not used as a base for a utility table.
Entertaning guests wouldn’t be a problem. Not with the many garden settings, a pavillion (complete with a mini-bar) and a bahay kubo conveniently placed all over the property. We sat and dined where politicians have forged agreements and tv personalities like Cesar Montano and the Viva Hot Babes have had their pictures taken.
Am happy to see that my native place is now in the web. However, just want to comment on some articles featuring Don Salvador Benedicto. The founder of the town is debatable because it was not properly documented. Only the natives there really knew who it was. Just want to know if the writer hails from that place. It seems some facts are not properly noted. Anyhow, thanks for giving our place a spot to be seen and known all over the world. Kudos!!!
The writer did not hail from Don Salvador but she went there personally and meet with the former Mayor. As much as we want to be historically accurate with what we post here, time and money are our limitations. We only rely on the people we interview and the data available. We hope you understand our position.
As I came back at Don Salvador Benedicto last December, I saw many changes happen, one thing that i can say aboout the Officials of Don salvador benedicto they work very well for the benefits of there town. So keep it good and Good Luck.
