Iloilo Churches

We decided to visit some churches in Iloilo after we ate at Tatoy’s. We took a jeep from Tatoy’s and went to Sto. Nino De Arevalo Parish Church in Arevalo. After that, we took another jeep that has a sign “Villa” and dropped by Molo Church in Molo, Iloilo. Then we took another jeep going to Baluarte to visit San Jose Church in Libertad.

As we went along, I can’t help but notice the usual Spanish Colonial setting where the Church is always near the public plaza and schools. It was a good feeling staying on these Plazas for a while and see people from different walks of life make their own escape and find space within a cool breeze of fresh air to relieve stress and set perspective. One can’t replace that feeling of oneness with your own world while killing some time in a public plaza.

plaza libertad: monument of greatness of heroes of panay. the revolutionary army headed by Hen. Martin Delgado gathered here to raise the Philippine Flag, to symbolize the end of Spanish regime in Panay on December 25, 1898. This was made as national historical marker on November 17, 2003.
