The Bacolod City Council has approved a resolution congratulating Bacolodnon businessman former councilor Ricardo “Cano” Tan for spearheading the construction of the Rooster Hotel which earned the Guinness World Record as the largest chicken structure in the world. The resolution was authored by Councilor Jason Villarosa, chairperson of the City Council Committee on Tourism.
He said it has been said that the purpose of such construction was to commemorate and boost the morale of those individuals who lived through the hardships during the fall of the sugar industry in the 1980's especially those who worked in the farms. “During those times, both farmers and landowners had to transition to raising roosters as well as livestock to sustain basic needs while braving the difficulties,” he added.
