I’ve updated my estanli.net page to accommodate my new blog, the ringside. Also, I’ve streamlined my portfolio site. The Menu system for the portolio has been updated to a single page. Its now easier to navigate.
…continued from La Union, 2 - Bacnotan
Not to be missed while one is driving along the highway is the church of Bangar. At first glance the structure and form of the facade reminds me of Bicol churches like the one in Tiwi, Albay and Lagonoy, Camarines Sur. What differs this from the two, however, is that instead of two finials, a decorative element, jutting out from the flanks of the pediment, the upper part of the facade, in the two Bicol churches, the one in Bangar are two smaller bellfries that goes no higher than the top and center belfry.
Its official. Kiko Pangilinan, after snubbing the Genuine Opposition’s sorties and proclamation rally last Saturday night, the opposition elders have spoken and decided to yank him out of the lineup. In the first place, the senator never really asked to be included and have always espoused his being an independent. It was the opposition, who was in a rush to fill in their slate, drafted two of the members of the Wednesday group of the Senate (Villar is the other one while Recto and Joker Arroyo joined the administration).
The church is reached after a short brief orange tricycle ride from the highway into a wide open space that is the church compound where at the center, the imposing church of San Miguel Archangel is built and bounded by centuries old fence. When I was there last week, workers were busy doing landscape work at the front of the church.
After changing venues three times in a week, the Genuine Opposition finally decided to have their proclamation rally at the historic Plaza Miranda. At first, they planned to have it in Makati then at a later date, when Erap was in his home after given a daypass from his house arrest, moved it to San Juan where the initial salvo of the Philippine revolution in 1896 was fired, incorporating it a historic meaning. However, as the place was deemed too small, Plaza Miranda, another historic venue infront of the Quiapo church was finally decided to be the best place.
