From: Jeremy Barns <jeremy_barns@yahoo.com>
Subject: Help for Baras Church

Dear all,

Last February 16, I was taking my family, visiting from Australia, on
the drive around Laguna de Bay and the old lakeshore towns of Rizal and
Laguna (very oddly, for its proximity to the city and its first-rate
road with little traffic after Binangonan all the way to Los Banos, this
fantastic heritage and scenic route is still very much unknown), and we
dropped in on the church of San Jose in Baras, Rizal. Built in the
1680s by the Franciscans, it's a favorite of mine for the charm of the
setting, its superior preservation and the authentic ancestral character it
retains. Indeed, it's a veritable showcase.

As it was around lunchtime on a weekday, the main doors were closed
so we snuck in through the convento to find an unlocked side door. We
were busted by a young fellow in a t-shirt who was very friendly and took
us inside, and who turned out to be the parish priest, Fr. Giovanni
Yago. We entered into a long conversation while my parents were taking
photos and rambling around, and, when he realized that I knew a thing or
two about colonial churches, Fr. Yago said that he was initiating a
project to replace the leaking corrugated iron roof, which dates from the
last renovation in the 1960s. This renovation also saw the removal of
the old ceiling and left the original 300 year-old wooden trusswork and
beams exposed. If you know the church, it's a glorious site (though the
more I think about it, the lost ceiling was a misfortune).

Now, Fr. Yago told me he was trying to work out how to do it -
replace the roof - and asked me for advice. The only person he felt he could
talk with was this engineer friend of his who's in charge of
maintenance at one of the plush new condominiums at the Fort. I expressed
surprise that there was no one to help him, and he said he did not know who to
get in touch with, except perhaps this Belgian tourist who passed
through some time ago and who seemed to know quite a lot about old
buildings. So much for institutional support.

I referred him to the NCCA and to HCS, specifically mentioning people
like Arch. Villalon, Ricky Jose, etc. And I made a mental note to write
to you all. On my part, I said that I was neither an architect nor an
engineer, but that it would be a sensitive undertaking where it would be
paramount to retain the trusswork, etc.

Would someone like to help? Here is a young priest, proud of the
heritage of his church building, but presumably on a tight budget and
definitely with only very limited access to the expert advice and knowledge
anyone would need. I would urge those interested to drive over and take
a look, and seek Fr. Yago out to offer help in sympathy with both
heritage considerations and his aims for his parishioners.

The telephone number of the church (from the Dioscese of Antipolo
website) is 6531069. Fr. Yago expects to stay at Baras for only another
year or two before his next transfer... Oh, and he showed me cracks on
both sides of the choirloft where the main facade is tilting away from
the rest of the church - he said it had gone from an inch wide to around
four inches in only the last few years...

richard24 · July 26th, 2006, 06:07 AM

ung sa tay-tay mukhang matutuloy talaga... ung sa antipolo sana hindi lang chismis... taga san roque din ako eh..

welcome to SSC abvillareal..

antipolo too?

richard24 · July 26th, 2006, 06:31 AM

kapit bahay ko lang ung baranggay hall ng san roque...

yup.. i saw it too sa wikipedia... sabi nga eh 2007 ang opening...

i thought sa tapat ito ng shopwise, since giniba na ung mga structures dun... kaso parang may nagtayo doon ng mukang warehouse.. kakainis...

ung sa tay-tay sure na talaga yun.. kasi may lupa na sila talaga dun na naka specify sa annual report nila... ang antipolo wala pa...

i guess we from antips would have to settle with metro east, sta lucia and the soon to open SM marikina.. (w/c is already in the process of pile driving.. )

richard24 · July 26th, 2006, 07:25 AM

cguro madami pa kasing parts ng antipolo ang hindi pa developed... lalo na ung sa mga malalayong lugar...
ewan ko nga din kung bakit nasa Pasig parin ang kapitolyo... at wala d2 sa Antipolo...
d naman na part ng Rizal ang Pasig..

richard24 · July 26th, 2006, 12:14 PM
