Jaro Cathedral

Reviewed By janevi2016 - Quezon City, Philippines

Jaro Cathedral is a prominent symbol of Catholic faith of the Ilonggos. Here, you can find the famous Our Lady of Candles or the " Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria" which is enshrined on the second floor of the cathedral outside of the church. Her feast is celebrated every 2nd of February. It is the first Marian National Shrine and it is one of the most celebrated feasts by the Ilonggos where masses are held from 4:30 in the morning until 7:00 in the evening on an hourly basis. History tells that the original church was destroyed by an earthquake Caycay in 1948 and was later repaired in 1956 by the first Archbishop of Jaro, the late Arch. Jose Maria Cuenco. Furthermore, it is also the first Marian image canonically crowned personally by the Pope and saint, Pope John Paul II.

Camina Balay nga Bato

Reviewed By Mariann79 - Iloilo City, Philippines

Loved the native chocolate! Entrance is good for a no-time-limit tour after the guide has introduced you to every nooks and crannies of the historical mansion. You can stay as long as you want to enjoy the native chocolate and biscuits. There were also brochures that were handed out for free that you can read while examining closely every antique housewares that are no longer used nowadays. There were displays of various merchandise at the entrance from food to accessories to scarves. I bought two nice beaded necklaces. My friends and I took time chatting while enjoying the picture taking inside the house. A must-visit for lovers of history.

St Anne Parish Church

Reviewed By KIMI4812 - Quezon City, Philippines

It was my last day and I invited my husband to go to an anticipated Mass at Molo Church. Beyond our expectations, the Church reflects the Spanish influence and the beautiful altar provides honor to St. Anne, Mama Mary's mother who I have learned to invoke for help and intercession. Attending the 5:00 p.m. Mass we were impressed with the beautiful Church interiors from the ceiling to the main altars. The grounds infront of the Church were also quite interesting with the Plaza and the beautiful grounds providing a park for the tourists and the locals. Beside the Church is also the Convent which provides one with a glimpse of the buildings during the Spanish times. It is made of huge cobblestones and cement that lasted over a hundred years.

Antonia Beach

Reviewed By herlculis - Quezon City, Philippines

One of my favorite spots in Isla de Gigantes, Antonia Beach is very relaxing to spend few hours. After we visited the two spots, we decided to have our lunch here with our food served by our tour guide. Same with the nearby islands, Antonia Beach has also white sand surrounded by big rock formations which actually you can climb on to get your photos taken. I also prefer staying in Antonia Beach rather than in Bantigue Island for relaxing/lunch time because it's more peaceful and there's a lot of coconut trees that make the place shady. For the food, you may order your fresh steamed scallops here for P100 per tray. Sobrang fresh because they harvested it straight from the sea, no salt, no msg. ???? We literally ate hundred pieces! ????Activities you can do: ▫️Relaxing ▫️Swimming ▫️Photo taking (for ig!) ▫️Eating scallops!!! ????Tour Fee: Included in our package but you may get the P999 fee as joiner

Very well thought out and implemented public project. Esplanade was a nice surprise. Nice walk on clean and well maintained pathways which was capped off by dinner in one of restaurants adjacent to esplanada!
