One thing that I’ve noticed in the streets of the four towns that I’ve visited were the color coded tricycles.

Just along the highway in the seeming busy town of Balaoan, is another imposing and beautiful church that is quite unlike the rest of the churches that I’ve visited in this trip or even in the rest of La Union that I’ve passed by, saw in books or visited:

Another short tricycle ride from the highway from Balaoan, or a much longer one from Bangar, is another imposing and beautiful church of Luna. Its blue and white paint a welcome respite from the usual pink/white/beige look on the other churches that I’ve passed in La Union.

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.

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.
