Half-day stop for the UNESCO Miagao Church, then move on: 45 min from Iloilo City by jeepney, no reason to sleep.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Miagao is a small coastal town in Iloilo province, known almost entirely for one sight: the Miagao Church, a UNESCO World Heritage baroque fortress-church. The town itself has little else for a traveller, so most visitors come from Iloilo City for a morning or afternoon and continue west.
