The places of Interest in the Phillipines. I just want to know a place that I can visit such as religious sites like Catholic Churches? Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

To answer your question.
Philippines is an archipelago with full of hispanic influence, full proff are the old churches scattered all over the country. The most popular one is the church you can see on the old 10 Peso bill. The Barasoain Church is located in Malolos Bulacan and a place where the first Philippine constitution had established and was written in Spanish and called: "Constitución Provisional de la República de Filipinas"  Manila and Cebu also has a lot of old churches, too many to mention.

Since you are studying Tagalog/Filipino, Bulacan and Manila is a good place for your studies. However if you wanted to see more impressive in terms of designs and antiquity, visit the province of Iloilo. Each town of this Island has its own old Spanish Churches. Here is the link of Iloilo province: http://www.exploreiloilo.com/ It is safe to travel in that province.
