When I was in Dumaguete recently, I stayed there in the province of Negros Oriental Philippines only for a night. To cut expenses, I stayed with my friend in the town of Bacong, some 10 kilometers away from the capital Dumaguete City.

While we were Dumaguete City Philippines recently, Marc and I visited the Dumaguete Church and Belfry.

The church in Dumaguete is dedicated to its patroness, St. Catherine of Alexandria or locally known as Santa Catalina. The church was elevated to the status of Cathedral and is the seat of the Diocese of Dumaguete.
When I was in Pampanga last month, the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Fernando, Pampanga Philippines was included in our itinerary.

Betis Church has always been one of my favorite churches. The paintings on its ceiling is worth the visit. The masterpiece ceiling was intricately painted that it gives a 3D effect when viewed.

I have been to the San Guillermo Church in Bacolor Pampanga Philippines several times. And in most of these times, there were only a few tourists who visited the place. But after ABS CBN used the Bacolor Church as the setting for its primetime drama “May Bukas Pa”, tourist arrival in Bacolor has increased significantly.

Last December I got the chance to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Miag-ao Church in Iloilo Philippines. When I finally got there, I got a big surprise: The Church is undergoing rehabilitation!

When Marc, Junelle and I toured the southern Iloilo last month, the Church of Tigbauan is one of the places we visited.

Iloilo is really blessed with so many grandiose churches. Really big, breathtaking structures can just be found all over the province. Among these lovely structures worth visiting is the stone church in the town of Dingle, Iloilo (pronounced as Ding-le^).
