Santo Niño Shrine and Heritage Museum

Seriously run down: this place could definitely use a makeover. Interesting items are not highlighted, there's no explanation panels on their origin or significance. You're basically rushed through every room by a bored caretaker who gives you ultra basic info ("this is the coconut room"), then lets you wander for a very short time before switching off the lights and taking you to the next one. Would be much better to go at your own pace and have a knowledgeable person storytelling the rooms to you. Anyway, all in all, it's difficult with the guided tour to understand why this place has historical value, because at no time does it put it in perspective with the Marcos' rise to power and grip on the country's economy. That being said, the place is the finest building in Tacloban that survived the Yolanda typhoon in 2013, and showcases Filipino craftsmanship, so all in all, it's worth a look !

a memorable place.. where we experienced the earthquake last April.. but the place is very nice.. i love the antique furnitures and the walls of the entire house is just amazing.

It was. A wonderful tour that showcases the rich culture of the Philippines and makes you see the Marcos Era in another perspective.

It's a beautiful place that needs care and maintenance. I'm glad though when I visited yesterday to see some ongoing works to improve the facade and the sorroundings of the Shrine. Will definitely come to visit when it's done.
