Visita Iglesia 2011

Visita Iglesia, literally means "visiting churches", a tradition followed by Catholics during Holy Week. People usually visit one Church to another and contemplate on the fourteen stations of the cross. Traditionally, seven Churches are visited with two stations per visit but some go as many as fourteen to complete the stations.

Visita Iglesia is usually done on Maundy Thursday so we had a full night ahead of us.

A lot of people praying the stations of the cross.

They had a lot of Saints

But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records.
