I was invited by Mr. Rolly Magpayo together with : “Nikonistas et Canonizados: D60KREW meets Lipa Batangas Weekend Shooters, Kapamilya meets Kapuso with Kat Espiritu as muse” –tita bambit gaerlan’s caption in her FB album; (she said it all in one line!  hehehehe natuwa namn ako at muse daw ako, charing! yan ang napapala ng walang grupo) to have a travel shoot in Taal, Batangas.

First stop: Caysasay Church

It was dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia.

it has been renovated but there are still a lot of untouched details..the railings, holy water receptacle, walls made out of corals and a few baroque motifs ( i guess) .. next time talaga, NatGeo mode ako, all the details kukuhanan ko ng pics. lol

that’s Royskie Sadorra, a member of dpp, taking pictures.

they say that one of their relics, an image of the Virgin Mary was fished out near Pansipit River. Kahit ilang beses na itong nawala, lagi daw itong bumabalik..

speaking of kababalaghan, there’s a miraculous spring near the church.. the Sta. Lucia Wells

Many stories says that the reflection of the Virgin Mary appeared on this spring and brings miracle; not only to those who have gone to this place, but also to those who drank and bathe from the water. sayang, i forgot to say my prayers here in  “banal na pook”..

next stop:  ruins of Old Taal Church

hehehe medj tinamad ako kumuha ng pictures dito, siguro dahil kakakain lang namin. anyways, this church was destroyed by the 1754 eruption of Taal volcano.. same reason why the town relocate to its current location. now this is the town of San Nicolas..tabi lang to ng taal lake

to be continued…
