According to the nostalgia filipinas, "The San Ignacio Church was the source of pride and inspiration for the Society of Jesus, or more commonly known as the Jesuits. It was the Jesuits' "sueno dorado" or their golden dream. Manila's most skilled architects, artists and even workers shared one common goal to build something so majestic that significantly featured Filipino artistry and talent."
