This famous church dates back to the early Spanish colonial era. The Church was founded by the Augustinian friars since their arrival in 1565. You could also find in the church the miraculous image of Sto. Nino (Child-Jesus).

I really loved the place! I like how everthing was well preserved and taken care of. The museum showcased a lot of historical events and facts, and kept the antiques in place. Also, the tour guides were really accomodating and were very knowwledgeable.

Loved the native chocolate! Entrance is good for a no-time-limit tour after the guide has introduced you to every nooks and crannies of the historical mansion. You can stay as long as you want to enjoy the native chocolate and biscuits. There were also brochures that were handed out for free that you can read while examining closely every antique housewares that are no longer used nowadays. There were displays of various merchandise at the entrance from food to accessories to scarves. I bought two nice beaded necklaces. My friends and I took time chatting while enjoying the picture taking inside the house. A must-visit for lovers of history.

Home to thousands of vintage glass pieces mostly from the Depression Era in the United States, the Vintage Glasses Museum in Bacolod City is a unique and eccentric shrine to anything glass collected in a span of 30 years when the owner, Tomas Claridad Casiano worked as a butler for a Hollywood movie director and eventually opening his own flower shop for Beverly Hills royalty where he procured unique glasses for his flowers. When he came home to the Philippines, he brought home 66 boxes full of his glass collection and opened the museum as his home was too small for his crystal obsession. His most prized possessions include wine glasses from Queen Victoria's court, a 1915 whisky decanter made for Ford Motors, glass decanters owned by Nancy Reagan, a Russian czar's goblet and glasses made with uranium! Can't recommend this place enough! They only open by appointment so make sure to make reservations first!
