Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Visita Iglesia Pangasinan: Churches of Mangatarem and Aguilar
Just some sort of drive-by Visita Iglesia in Pangasinan on the way to Bolinao town, you can see two old churches along the way
These are just two drive-by photos, you can see the effect of the car tint plus some slight blur and poor composition :(
St. Raymund the Peñafort Church, Mangatarem, Pangasinan (Mangatarem Church)
Mangatarem church features a large green dome, technically called the apse, common in baroque style churches of old
St. Joseph The Patriarch Church Aguilar, Pangasinan (Aguilar Church):
the church has similar architecture and facade with the churches of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte but not the earthquake baroque style of siblings up north
these two churches are easiest to visit should you decide to do a Visita Iglesia Pangasinan in Holy Week, particularly on Holy Thursday where Catholic faithful visit seven churches.
mukhang renovated na yang mangatarem church. a majority of pangasinan churches' facades were irreversibly damaged after crashing from the 1990 earthquake. only a few facades survived
