SUBSCRIBESeries 23: Simbahan
Simbahan. I’ve always been fascinated with the catholic churches of the country. Legacies to its colonial past standing proud despite the ravages of time and the so called modernizations inflicted by man and unappreciating priests and clergy. Except for the Antipolo Church (and perhaps that of Puerto Princesa in Palawan and also that of Talaga, Argao which is a mid 20th century edifice) which is a modern structure erected in place of the original, these churches, from as far as Ilocos to Quezon, Bicol and Cebu are testament to the rich cultural and architectural heritage that can be proudly claimed as truly and uniquely Filipino.
This series of Philippine churches at binary silver will be the start of my postings of these grand structures as I continue to document the remaining colonial churches nationwide that are worth saving.
