San Agustin Church
Within Intramuros stands Manila's oldest stone church, San
Agustin, which was completed in 1606 and has since survived the
ravages of time and successive invasions. The church has a
magnificent and intricately-carved door, a Baroque pulpit, and an
18th Century pipe organ. A museum is housed in the Monastery
alongside the church, which holds paintings of saints and other
religious art. The Sacristy houses a collection of richly
embroidered vestments, and Philippine notables are buried in the
crypt. An extremely worthwhile tourist sight for visitors to
Manila.

Language
The official language of the Philippines is Filipino, but
English is widely spoken. Tagalog is the most predominant of the
many dialects or local languages spoken throughout the
islands.
Money
The currency of the Philippines is the Peso (PHP), which is
divided into 100 centavos. Major credit cards are widely accepted
in the cities and tourist destinations. Banks do not always accept
travellers cheques, but a receipt of purchase is useful. ATMs are
available in the major cities. US dollars are widely accepted in
Manila and other tourist areas and are the easiest currency to
exchange; otherwise Euros and Pounds Sterling can also be exchanged
in banks and hotels. Banks open from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday,
but their ATMs are open 24 hours. It is best to carry pesos when
travelling outside of major centres.
Opening Times
