Must be nice to see that in person. :) I just went there this morning...beautiful...I was supposed to go South of Iloilo and photograph some more historical churches...however it rained hard 15 min after my shoot...:Oops: ... just not meant to be :Scared: alex_paulino 09-02-2006, 07:37 PM I used to live in Iloilo way back in the 70's. Another beautiful church would be in Miagao, don't miss that one. When I went back there in 1997, I showed it to my wife and she really admired all the beautiful churches of Iloilo. God willing it will be sunny tomorrow for you to be able to shoot some more pics. jose_deluna 09-02-2006, 08:09 PM Jake... try going to San Joaquin, the church there is really marvelous, actually made of limestone bricks constructed in the 1800's, much beautiful than the Miag-ao church. Another very picturesque church is the Balaan Bukid Shrine situated at the top of Balaan Bukid in Guimaras Island. I had the chance to photograph all the Catholic Churches in Panay Island in 2004 for a project for the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
