I don't usually make churches part of my itinerary because they all look the same to me, unless they're a really famous landmark. However, when I first saw pictures of Miag-ao church, I just had to go and visit this fine piece of architecture and see it for myself.
If you want to do as we did so you can still have time to go around Guimaras in the afternoon, I suggest leaving at 5am in the morning to go to Miag-ao church. You will arrive at 6am, in time for the first mass. We were late and arrived at 7am but it was still ok.
How to Get There:
Since our hotel was in Bavaria Restaurant and Hotel in Jaro, Iloilo, we walked a short distance towards the Jaro Cathedral, near the plaza. You can't miss the huge bellfry in the middle of the road right across the Jaro Cathedral. We waited in front of the famous Ted's Batchoy for a jeep with the signboard Leganes and just told the driver to drop us off at Stoplight. The Leganes jeep also passes by SM Iloilo so you can ride from there.
