The Yap-San Diego Ancestral House is a 300-year-old ancestral home in Cebu, Philippines that has been restored by its owner Val. It was originally part of a cluster of stone-walled, wood-paneled ancestral homes in the historic Parian District of Cebu that were home to founding families. Val converted the home into a lifestyle museum to showcase his collection of antiques and preserve the original wood-paneled second floor, tiled roof, and other features of the ancestral structure. Photos show interior areas like the sala, comedor, and silong that contain antique furnishings and give a glimpse of life in a traditional Filipino ancestral home.

Yap San Diego Ancestral House
BY: ARNOLD A. DABAY
For centuries, the Parian District of Cebu was home to the crème de la crème and founding families of the Queen City. Clustered in this historic district were the stoned-wall ground floor, wood-paneled second floor and tiled-roof ancestral houses. Sadly, only a few of these antique structures survive to this day or at least have been restored with their original configurations intact. One of them is the Yap-San Diego Ancestral House. Val restored his ancestor’s 300 hundred year old ancestral house and converted it into a lifestyle museum to showcase his teeming collection of antiques.
