Spanish-era Churches

Yeah Don Bosco was just recently air-conditioned. They dont turn them on all the time, hence it is still hot. I think they switch them on on certain masses.

just hope he will continue posting, even if it's small contributions. a post a week wouldnt be bad, as long as there's a sign he's still there

I was just in Bohol last month, and I took a lot of pictures of the many amazing chuches that can be found on the island.
















There's more where this came from, I went to 14 different towns.

[ryanr]

Cool, nice pics! Do you go to Candijay? Thats where my mom comes from

siguro ako, post ko Kingdom Hall namin, or ung assembly hall namin sa Victoria, Laguna. pero teka, wala naman kaming sinasamba sa loob ng hall, ang isinasagawa namin ay kristiyanong pagpupulong.

whoah, those are some amazing churches in bohol.

some look like they're mosques... especially the 2nd last one.

[bagel]

No time to follow Weirdo's rules to the tee right now. I hope this is good enough.

Golden Mosque
Quiapo, Manila

I believe this mosque was built under instructions of Imelda Marcos for the Islamic community in Manila. This is not the only mosque in the Metro. However, the Quiapo/San Miguel area has a large Muslim community.



Khalsa Diwan Indian Sikh Temple
Paco, Manila

I used to always pass by this temple. I don't know much about it.





Hong Giam Taoist Temple
Paco, Manila City

I don't know anything about this, except that there is a sizeable Chinese community in Paco.

The Golden Mosque was built in 1976, yes, under the instructions of Imelda Marcos. She wanted it to be the biggest in Metro Manila so that she could 'wow' Libyan leader Colonel Moamar Gaddhafi for his planned visit. Ultimately, the Colonel cancelled his trip to Manila.

Imelda also had a mosque built on the Malacañang grounds for the Colonel.

[weirdo]

those were beautiful. thanks for sharing.

[renell]

that's the only mosque i know of in Manila... actually in the whole country. i'm sure there are other mosques in the country, but none of the same fame

[ryanr]

I see a lot of Mosques in Zamboanga City. But there are still more churches there.

I think i saw a mosque somewhere in QC...just dunno where.

[renell]

are there any mosques in Zambo of any fame?

[ryanr]

Yes. There is one that is quite large that you can see from the airport as you touch down. It is on the foot of a mountain.

Here's a new pic of Quiapo Church and Plaza Miranda at sunset. The Church was just recently finished being repainted. I think its present brown and ochre colors suit it better than the previous salmon color scheme.

[bagel]

it looks great... but now the plaza miranda archways do not match the church color-wise?

[weirdo]

i have to see that one. thanks. i will buy pdvds on the other side and maybe some colpan in hidalgo next week.

[renell]

hmm... this church looks nice repainted, but some don't really are photogenic when repainted. some look better as it goes old

[weirdo]

i like the painting job. made it more striking. the lighter one before wes fine too. can't decide yet which one is better
