I currently live in China, so found this museum interesting. It’s not big, nor expensive to get in, but has a fair amount of interesting displays and history of the Chinese in the Philippines. All well presented. Pop in for a quick walk around

The museum is focussed on the history and lives of the Chinese in the Philippines. The museum is well laid out with numerous life like displays of the life of Chinese Filipinos in the past. Certainly for people if Chinese descent is a very interesting museum,

I never know that there was a strong Chinese community in The Philippines. The heritage centre has an explicit explanation and one must not miss. Highly recommended.

The museum was well thought and conceptualized. Was even surprised on the details of the displays. A little small though, would like to see more I guess.

Museum of ethnic Chinese
I passed by this museum while exploring the Intramuros ancient town. It is housed within the Kaisa-Angelo King Heritage Center building. For those who are keen in history, the museum documents the lives and contributions of the ethnic Chinese during the early years of Philippines. It was quiet and I only sawa few visitors.

The museum presents quite an informative history about little known facts about the Chinese in the Philippines, showing how they have contributed economically, politically and genetically to Manila. In fact, the trivia I learnt while at the museum gave me some unexpected depth to places around Manila that are connected to the Chinese, like Binondo and Quiapo.
Some of the profiles and information on modern history feels a bit subjective (and non-critical) - perhaps because the language starts getting a bit flowery. However, the ancient history part is definitely fascinating, and well-worth the admission fee.

Bahay Tsinoy showcased Chinese contribution in the Philippine Life and History. In their display in this museum, helps the visitors trace Chinese influences on the Philippines from the earliest days to the present, The dioramas showcased the pre-Spanish Chinese trading, and the establishment of the Chinese settlement in old Manila.
Most that caught my attention was the scenery with the big boat and the so called Galeon trade and the rise of Chinese Filipinos into the highest strata of business and government.
