The historic Oslob church and convent burned yesterday!

I just got news that the 160 year old stone church in the town proper of Oslob including its convent were burned to the ground yesterday! What a great loss and I am very much saddened that this beautiful church suffered this preventable loss. Investigators say that it was caused by a short circuit. Unfortunately, it cannot be returned even if the townspeople planned to erect another one.

Lamentable! This is not the first time that it burned. In the 1950s, the fire was smaller compared to the one yesterday. Now, I’m am more fired up in fastracking my church documentation before we lose another one. By next week, I should visit this site.
