Japan’s Consul General Hideki Yamaji paid Tagbilaran City a visit and was toured to one of the capital’s historical landmarks.
The Japanese diplomat thanked Architect Gloria Balili, the youngest child of the late industrialist Eladio Balili, for the access to the Balili home which is part of the heritage tour circuit of the Tagbilaran.
The consul general was in awe seeing the grand Balili ancestral house, which was built in 1934 by Eladio Balili, reports say.
The said Balili residence was occupied by the Japanese Armed Forces in March of 1942 at the height of World War II.
According to historical records, the house served as the command center of the Japanese soldiers during the war.
The Balili ancestral house is currently being operated as a budget hostel. It is also the place where the historical artifacts are preserved and kept well by the descendants of Eladio Balili.
The Balili ancestral house is a perfect example of an adaptive reuse based on City Ordinance C-256.
Prior to the consul’s visit to the famed heritage house, Yamaji made a quick visit to the Dalareich Chocolate House where he saw fantastic chocolate-based products made in Bohol.
The diplomat also paid a courtesy call to City Mayor Jane Yap where the two discussed possible partnerships between Japan and Tagbilaran City.
The Japanese government through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), assisted Tagbilaran City in various projects, including the upcycling project involving unemployed women of the city.
The Japanese government is also helping in the formation of a livelihood project, this time involving the out-of-school youths.
