Thanks to this event I got to see 4 museums for free and one garden ruins for 75 Php. Let's start with Casa Manila. I have been there just in the courtyard. I did not know that there was a museum that preserved how a well off family lives. The top photo is the study below is the music room on the 3rd floor.
Next, is Bahay Tsinoy in 32 Anda Street corner Cabildo Street. Shows how we started interacting with Chinese people. You will find jade bracelets, porcelain bowls, and old cigar packagings.
They are open from Tuesdays to Sunday. Entrance fee is 150 Php. I'm sure people will enjoy taking photos with the sari-sari store set up.
Good news entrance is free from the first 6 months! I'm not sure but it will be best to start here as this is where we were given pamphlets of places you can visit within the walled city.
This museum tells you about our rich history using dolls, music, and play of light and shadows. It's a bit hard to get photos at this place best to enjoy the audio narration.
The site of many local movies, I find got to visit Baluarte de San Diego. I still want to go down and explore the actual ruins but the 75 Php entrance does not cover that.
There are many spots here that you can take photos of that is IG-worthy. They also have a bonsai garden! It was surprising to see a small bougainvillea plant with a trunk and the small Sampalok tree. Kudos to the ones that are taking care of this garden!
