- Steve MClontarf, Australia269 contributionsDidn't really know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and informative. The chocolate drink was an added bonus.Written 4 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Czar EmmanuelManila, Philippines6,122 contributionsVisiting this church is like travelling back in time. Although nothing is left of its original 1863 wooden structure, its actual stone structure (which dates back to post-1869) has preserved pretty much of the Gothic-Rennaissance design typical of the Spanish church constructions in Panay in the late 19th century. The interior is really lovely and the whole place is well-maintained. I particularly like its "retablo", the 16 images of female saints in its central nave, its paintings depicting biblical scenes, pulpir, etc. The square in front of it is also beautiful, particularly its tymphanum in neoclassical style, and the Molo Mansion right across it. Thumbs up!Written 4 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC5,820 contributionsWe briefly stopped here to take its outside pictures. My driver/guide informed me that advanced reservation is needed. One could not just show up and expect to be let in.
Learned that entrance fee is 250 pesos per person! This is quite exorbitant!
We decided to move on. Perhaps, I could try again when I’m back in the city.
My question is: Why can’t it be open daily and for free?Written 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I got myself a ticket at the Freedom Grandstand and enjoyed watching the eight competing groups. I was able to guess the winner but, honestly, I felt something was missing in the way the tribes performed compared to how they did during the pre-pandemic time. At any rate, it was fun and I could see the excitement on people's faces. They were clearly very happy to be back on the street. There were food kiosks and souvenir stands everywhere. The traditional "sadsad" the previous night was really crowded. The light parade (aka ILOMINATION) at the Festive Walk was colorful and entertaining. Thumbs up to the organizers of all the events! :DWritten 31 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emmy Louise PedrosoIloilo City, Philippines1 contributionI went here last month and I really admire the way the museum shows all the art with its meanings. There aren't that many paintings or art that were displayed. However, the overall ambiance was aesthetic and minimalist. Moreover, the entrance fee and the employees were approachable.Written 16 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mai PCebu City, Philippines46 contributionsThe Molo Mansion, also known as the Yusay-Consing Mansion. The mansion was built in the 1920s. The Molo Mansion exhibits classical Philippine colonial architecture. The interiors have high ceilings and graceful arches. Intricate decorative carvings. The facade boasts of a Neoclassical balustrade and there are wooden double swing-out windows that open to the refreshing gardens below.Written 15 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martin HHong Kong, China700 contributionsThis is tucked away down a side street but worth a visit if you can find it.There is a lot of history in the building so you can take a while here or be quite quick if you don't want to look at the personal effects in too much detail.Written 24 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martin HHong Kong, China700 contributionsThe museum has been moved to the former prison right next door. They've done a lovely job restoring the former prison which is now very bight and airy with a lot of space.
Unfortunately there are only two rooms with anything of interest to see here. The plus side is that this is free to enter so, if you have an hour spare, this is worth stopping in to see.Written 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
