Constantino Ancestral House, also known as Bahay na Tisa, is a historic landmark in Balagtas that offers a glimpse into the past. Reviewers describe the house as an authentic but aging structure that has not undergone recent renovations. One visitor highlighted the helpfulness of the caretaker, who permitted a video shoot for a school project. However, guests are cautioned that the house is quite old, with visible holes in the wooden flooring. According to local accounts, the current owners do not have immediate plans to restore the property. Despite the lack of upkeep, it remains a point of interest for those seeking an unpolished and genuine historical experience.
