This ancestral house is worth visiting for (entrance
fee; not more than Php50). It’s 95% original– the structure, the furniture.
Even Filipinos would be surprised to
see several antique stuff inside the house.
The photos of those inhabitants of this house.
Yap-San Diego family still lives here!
Nice couple. They’re now in the senior years!
Lapu-Lapu Shrine
Philippine
history – Battle of Mactan. Ten minutes
max is long enough if you want to explore the area. There’s nothing much to see
here. But you’re always welcome to check the bazaar inside this place. There are also a few stalls outside which sell
items - quality's okay, but the price is cheaper.
Fort San Pedro
Walking distance from the Basilica de Sto. Niño. You can ask the locals for direction. Just look for this street / street sign:
It’s also called Plaza Independencia.
It’s like a very big plaza!
Entrance. There’s an entrance fee if the
visitors would like to see the “nicer”
part of the place.
We didn’t go to other side to see the nicer part
of Fort San Pedro. First, it was raining. Second, it’s not practical for us
anymore to pay to see another park-like area. We had decided to spend more time
in places that we couldn’t find in Manila.
Perhaps you can just go inside that “tunnel” and
simply look at/read those pictures/stories on the wall. Reading and taking pictures
are free of charge.
