St. Michael the Archangel Church

On our way home to Tacloban, we made a quick stop at the 17th century old St. Michael the Archangel Church on top of a hill overlooking the sea/river? and the town. It has a beautiful facade and impressisve bell tower. Unfortuately, we were not able to go inside the church because it was close at that time.

Visita Iglesia 2010

We visited 14 churches from Las Pinas to Quiapo to represent the 14 Stations of the Cross. Unfortunately, I was not able to take photos of all the churches we visited.

St. Joseph Parish Church, Las Pinas City

The famous bamboo organ is housed in this church.

 

San Dionisio Church, Paranaque City

St. Andrew Church, Don Galo, Paranaque City

I forgot the name of this church in Paranaque

Ermita Catholic Church, Manila

Quaint Chapel  somewhere in Quiapo before The Basilica of the Black Nazarene/ Quiapo Church

Mavid Batanes

Mavid is the Ivatan word for beautiful. Batanes lives up to its reputation as a must-see destination in the Philippines. J and I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy Batanes' beauty (since Batanes is so far-away and the airfare is prohibitive). We love Batanes' natural beauty, heritage and people. No words can accurately capture the captivating and rustic Batanes scenery. So, I'll just let the photos do the talking (sorry, for the limited photos, I'll try to update more)
