Only in the exhibit rooms (which are definitely worth seeing) but not in the church itself-which is common for a church of this age.

I was told that by an employee at the museum next door, that they open for public at 5 pm. And so they did. That was during the week.

I would recommend Saturday because the crowds are crazy on Sundays

Definitely Yes!

Maybe 1 hour by private car from Manila Polo Club because of the traffic.

The church is open 7 days a week. As regards to the museum, I am not very sure.

Don;t cancel your trip . The population of the Philippines is over 100 million . Most people there are kind , genuine , funny and have great attitudes . The odd problem that does occur is quickly under control . The place has to many positive things to miss out on ........... The Island or Mindanao has a some internal issues that do not affect the other islands . The story is too long to explain in one answer . Brent ( filipiniowondertravel)

While the battlefield is intensified in the south, areas in Luzon like Manila, Baguio or further north to Vigan are still peaceful and you hardly heard any conflict in these areas.

I would suggest going personally to this beautiful and stunning location . To seek permission , i understand there is a waiting list for this gorgeous site . Many natural and unique attractions in the Philippines still do not have and " on -line " presence or good contact information . We worth you time to make the trip . Brent ( filipinowondertravel )
