It has one of the most beautiful interiors that we have seen so far. And we firmly believe that it should be preserved and protected as a National Historic & Cultural Treasure for future generations.

You may have noticed that we are starting a new feature on the site this week. The Thought of the Week… You’ll find it in the sidebar on the right. It may or may not necessarily be religiously oriented.
We hope that it will always be thought provoking, but you should also know that it may occasionally be controversial.
If we feel that something has to be said on one topic or another then we will say it. Be assured, however, that it is definitely never intended nor meant to offend anyone.
We’re adding it to spur some ‘intelligent discussion’ and as always we welcome your comments whether in support or not, so please don’t hesitate to let us know what you’re thinking.

Yes, we have just now added the a new slideshow for the only militaristic church in the Philippines – the Church of San Joaquin which has hardly any religious icons on the exterior of the church.

This is one really beautiful old and historically significant church which was made a Philippines National Treasure by then President Ferdinand Marcos in 1973.
