wow i didnt know phillipines was so important in religion n stuff in asia.
i have a few filo frends.. and they all seem to be sumhow related to a spanish sumwhere along the line

most of tha flipz are related to tha spanish cuz of that spanish explorer that went there

:deal: Actually,Spaniards colonized the islands of the Philippines,Guam,Marianas,Saipan,Carolines in the Pacific for more than 300 years,The British invaded Manila for a short while in the late 1700's then returned it backed to Spain,then in 1898-1946 it was administered by the US,and in 1941-1945 it was occupied by the Japanese. Majority of the people in the Philippines are Catholics about 83% of the population of about 84 million

This is just an example of a Church in Manila.It is called Binondo Church in which the first Filipino saint "San Lorenzo Ruiz" served as a sacristan during his time .

Compliments, It's very beautiful, :love:
I like visit Churchs and archeological Holy site during my
holiday!!

:heh: This is another island of Bohol home of the Tarsier and Chocolate hills because during the dry season the hills looks like kisses because of the brown color. Its the Philippines answer to Australia's Uluru with thousands of these magnificent hills could be found in the island of Bohol.Its a geological wonder and the country is submitting it to UNESCO for it to be recognized as a world heritage site.
