Interior of Casa Binan

The house is also controversial because of its particular room that was said to be the room where Teodora Alonzo's brother's wife, Teodora Formosa was locked by her father-in-law after discovering that Teodora Formosa was having an affair with another man. This was also the reason why Teodora Alonzo was accused of poisoning her sister-in-law and was exiled by walking from Binan to Calamba.
