Bahay Tsinoy or the Chinese Filipino House was conceptualized and established to reiterate the harmony and understanding shared by the two communities in the country. Designed by Eva Penamora and Honrado Fernandez in 1996, the three storied building of Bahay Tsinoy was completed within three years and inaugurated in Funding for the building came from the Angelo King Foundation and contributions from the Filipino Chinese community. Bahay Tsinoy is located in the Kaisa-Angelo King Heritage Center building along with the Chinbin See Memorial Library and Await Keng Auditorium. Divided into 12 sections, through its various collections the museum manages to depict the cultural and historical past of the two communities. Through photographs, the museum also tracks the contributions of the Chinese in the evolution of the Philippines. You can also find here artifacts such as historical Chinese porcelain, kitchenware, coins etc. For history enthusiasts, the Kaisa Research Center and Data Bank, that archives similar historical information, is also located here. Charges for admittance 100 for adults and 60 for children. Operation hours: Tuesday - Sunday 1 pm - 5pm. Address: 32 Anda corner Cabildo Streets,Intramuros, Manila 1002 Philippines Image Courtesy of Flickr and unforth B) San Agustin Museum - Intramuros (must see) One of the most fascinating sites in Manila is the Intramuros or the walled city, which is the oldest district of the region. Built by the Spanish in the 16th century, the Intramuros survived right up until the mid 1900s after which it was reduced to ruins during the Second World War. Although much of the ancient city was destroyed by the war, the San Agustin Museum offers its visitors an opportunity to appreciate the glory and legacy of the region. Adjacent to the San Agustin Church, one of the oldest surviving churches in the area, the Museum boasts a proud collection Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 3 -

Not only is the collection of the Museum worth the while, but the architecture of the building itself and the ambiance mesmerize the visitors. The history of the structure is nothing short of a tale itself. Formerly a monastery, the building is of a great historical significance and offers a perfect enclave for the artifacts that it so proudly displays. The Museum is open from 8 am till noon and reopens after an hour right through to 6 o'clock in the evening. It has a strict no photography rule, which is quite disappointing considering the brilliant treasures the museum possesses.

The main building, that was designed by Daniel Burnham and formerly housed the Congress of the Philippines, is now home to the National Art Gallery and division of Natural Sciences. The adjacent building, that once accommodated the Department of Finance, is the Division of Anthropology and Archeology and is commonly known as the Museum of the Filipino People. As a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines, the museum strives to inspire the younger generation to learn from its past and work towards a brighter future. The Museum regularly hosts seminars, exhibitions and lectures for one and all to learn more about the history of the country. In addition, it functions as a scientific institute and carries out research across its multiple divisions, including anthropology and archeology. While the anthropology section has over 10,000 artifacts, the botany section displays approximately 17,000 specimens of flora native to the country. The Museum also has a Planetarium that can accommodate a little over 300 people at a time and conducts various shows throughout the day, even on holidays.

The National Museum of the Filipino People which is a branch of the National Museum of the Philippines is the place to visit if you want to learn more about the Filipino history, culture and art.

Laurel Memorial Foundation Established in 1960, the Jose P. Laurel Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization that works towards preserving the memory of Jose P. Laurel, the disputed President of the Philippines between 1943 and Throughout his career, Laurel had a tainted reputation due to his close association with the Japanese. However, he was also chosen from an electoral process to be a part of the Senate in 1951, reinforcing the faith the common man had in Laurel. After his retirement from politics, Laurel set up the Lyceum of the Philippines University, the only university that was established by a president of a republican nation. Located in the Jose P. Laurel Memorial Building, the Foundation tirelessly works to bring Laurel s ideas and vision of the Philippines to reality. The Laurel Memorial Hall displays relics and manuscripts collected by Laurel during his political career. The Library allows access to some rare documents for the enthusiasts completely free of charge. The Foundation has arranges for annual scholarships for students to promote higher studies in the areas of architecture, economics and funds research projects from Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 6 -

Also known as the Met, the Museum is located with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, in Manila. Deemed as the finest Museum portraying modern and contemporary art, the Met has earned its reputation not only in the country but is also a growing name in the world arena. Established in 1976, the Museum initially exhibited only foreign artists. It has been associated with names like Picasso, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee etc. By 1986, over 100 non Philippine art exhibits had been showcased via this brilliant Museum. With growing awareness and appreciation for the world of art, soon Manila started brewing with local artists, eager to display their own creation to the country and the world. Soon the foreign exhibits were complemented with the works of Philippine artists. Apart from being a very happening gallery and museum, the Met is also an excellent place to catch up on some art lessons. With the slogan of Art for all, the Met Museum has introduced Braille captions near its displays and also provides bilingual audio guides so that none of its visitors miss out on the art on display. Undoubtedly, the Museum is a must visit if you are in Manila. Operation hours: Monday - Saturday 10 am pm.
