This place should not be called “museum” at all since the place is by no means any traditional museum experience. It’s more like cultural learning center. The host went through great length to prepare the place to demonstrate the old phillippines cultural values. By having people dressed up in traditional clothes, they show you what th old phillipines culture looks like. They show you what people back then do to go to the toilet, how you can use their archaic bamboos equipment to get water feim the well for taking a bath, how to make fire from dry leaves, how to roll your own cigarette. They also show you how farm: plant the rice stalk, ride the buffalo, cut and filter the rice, etc...The cool thing is you can participate in this interactive learning experience. We learned a great deal and the kids will enjoy it as well. This is really exceeding our expectations for “museum”

This is not your typical farm. I'll rather call it a farm of memories. Aside from the picturesque place, you can find here a lot of old and antique things. It gives you peace of mind and happiness. Also, the food was so good. I made a short vid about the place. You can follow me on my ig @queenglayss to see more of the place ???? Ciao !

Jaro Cathedral is a prominent symbol of Catholic faith of the Ilonggos. Here, you can find the famous Our Lady of Candles or the " Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria" which is enshrined on the second floor of the cathedral outside of the church. Her feast is celebrated every 2nd of February. It is the first Marian National Shrine and it is one of the most celebrated feasts by the Ilonggos where masses are held from 4:30 in the morning until 7:00 in the evening on an hourly basis. History tells that the original church was destroyed by an earthquake Caycay in 1948 and was later repaired in 1956 by the first Archbishop of Jaro, the late Arch. Jose Maria Cuenco. Furthermore, it is also the first Marian image canonically crowned personally by the Pope and saint, Pope John Paul II.

It was my last day and I invited my husband to go to an anticipated Mass at Molo Church. Beyond our expectations, the Church reflects the Spanish influence and the beautiful altar provides honor to St. Anne, Mama Mary's mother who I have learned to invoke for help and intercession. Attending the 5:00 p.m. Mass we were impressed with the beautiful Church interiors from the ceiling to the main altars. The grounds infront of the Church were also quite interesting with the Plaza and the beautiful grounds providing a park for the tourists and the locals. Beside the Church is also the Convent which provides one with a glimpse of the buildings during the Spanish times. It is made of huge cobblestones and cement that lasted over a hundred years.
