Day 2

Deeper Into Bacoor

Morning
Bacoor Museum

A small municipal museum in a restored heritage house. Exhibits cover local history, fishing gear and a few pre-colonial artefacts. Takes about 40 minutes.

🕐 Tuesday–Saturday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, closed Sunday–Monday

💡 It's free but you need to sign in at the city hall first. Closed on Mondays. The volunteer guide is knowledgeable—ask about the Battle of Bacoor.

Midday
St. Michael the Archangel Parish

A 19th-century stone church with a simple interior and a large courtyard. Still active, and the bell tower offers a decent view of the town.

🕐 Daily 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM

💡 Ask the caretaker nicely to unlock the bell tower stairs—no fee, but they appreciate a small donation. Go on a Sunday morning for the choir.

Day 3

Final Favourites & Departure

Morning
Molino Dam

An old stone dam built by the Spanish in the 1800s, now a minor landmark with a shallow river running over it. Locals wade and fish nearby.

💡 Wear sandals you don't mind getting wet—the rocks are slippery. Best at sunrise for light and fewer people. No entry fee but parking near the bridge is tight.
