Hi Danny,

More nice shots! In particular, I like the doorway - terrific light & framing.

We didn't get that far over in Rizal though my wife promises we will next time.

Best,
John

you should tell her to bring you all the way to paete, laguna where the wood carvers are they have a beautiful church. you can actually start in manila then up to antipolo, tanay, paete, los banos then back to manila thereby going 360 degrees around laguna lake ending up where you started. nice to do this during holy week, lot of things going on

yes it is, makes you feel like you stepped back in time to the 1960's with the benefit of having fastfood restaurants just a walk away

Looks amazingly similar to Medieval Romanesque churches, but in Philippines? Nice shots anyway!

Huge Spanish influence there as they conquered the Philippines in both war and religious "fear" tactics. Their presence lasted over 350 years.

Anyway, the photos are excellent, my wife is from Batangas Province, near Lake Taal.

yes some of these churches date back to the 1600s, i just hope the parish priests restore to their original condition & not remodel to modern styles these historical sites like sometimes happen
