San Miguel Tour
I was on a San Miguel Tour last weekend. I was able to see one of a kind Manila jewels like the all-steel San Sebastian Church. I also had the rarest oppurtunity to get inside the San Beda Church. The interiors are so breath-taking and heavenly. Its ceiling has been adorned with frescoes. We also passed by the Malacañang grounds. Photo-taking is not allowed there. Just a few meters away from the Malacañg Palace is the San Miguel Church. A grand sculpture of the saint is displayed in front of the churchyard. See photos below:
