Wow ang ganda! I've never visited a museum in our country. I've got to add this to my must visit list.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
My dream is to go on a Church hopping trip in the Philippines. Someday.....
Yes Kayni, there are various museums here. I have a long list of museums I have yet to visit, both in Metro Manila and in the provinces.
Happy Holidays, Maria. Sure that would be a great idea - visiting Churches during our road trips is a vital part of our itinerary, nowadays.
