Bahay Tsinoy in Philippines treasures relics of this Chinese heritage blended into Filipino lives. Interestingly enough, the Chinese-Filipinos offsprings today prefer to call themselves Tsinoys. This museum is located on the Kaisa Heritage Center, a 3-storied building, which too preserves remnants, artifacts and antiquities of Chinese–Filipino cultural exchange.
