But is only 1 hour and 30 minutes away via private vehicle. My first time to visit San Carlos City was last February 21, 2009 when I attended the burial of ex-Mayor Lanny Rigor. I was awed by the place, it is clean, peaceful and free from traffic. Now I know why Mr. Rigor love his place so much and won't trade it to any cities in the province.

As you can imagine me being english it was at first a very strange bewildering place, 3 flights from my home and something like 36 hours total travel time it was to be expected, but after a good nights sleep i was up and out with daisy(the girlfriend) and her family I was so amazed at the simple yet awe inspiring way of life,I fell in love with the place in an instant so much so that i am in the process of a complete career change so that i can emmigrate to the place, the people are so polite and friendly and they work extremly hard for what they possess. Alas the changing concepts of our world can only bring change here it is not neccesarily a bad thing that change comes to this city but I think it is essential that the san carlos city authroties and the philipine government encourage development towards tourism in such a beautiful place, but this should be done with out spoiling it. I have been a visitor to an island in the atlantic ocean many times called gran canaria and I have seen the total destruction of parts of this island in the name of tourism. I can only pray that the philipines as a nation heed this warning and develop a tourist basis with out destroying its base of tourism eg: dont allow skyscrapers to spoil the views. from what I have seen the philipines is beautiful and its beauty will be in the future it's asset and the philipines will become the spain of asia, Dont allow foriegn investment to take both the beauty and the potential away from you.lobby your government for a tourist body to be set up now and prevent foriegn investors destroying your jewels prosper as a nation but dictate the levels of development too. I would hate to come back to negros and see it had fallen like Gran canaria.( very rich but very barren) I hope you understand my point, I want to see these people prosper and not lose their identities they deserve only the best that life can bring as they truly are a very unique and friendly nation and for that I thank them one and all. hi estan

I only had very little time, just less than an hour to spend in San Carlos that I missed the sights you mentioned. Of course, being a church heritage aficionado, I passed by the cathedral and got photos of it. Your cathedral research sounds very good to me. Will this be published or will be available publicly? I'm very much interested with it. Also, I just hope that Fr. Galende would pursue the 2nd volume of Philippine Church Facades as we've already listed many OAR churches to be included. Prof. Luigi,

How could you miss the grandiose San Carlos Borromeo Cathedral, finished with the help of the hacenderos led by Don Julio Ledesma by Padre Manuel S. Gomara, OAR, and inaugurated in November 1935? Or Colegio de Santa Rita that has been producing professionals who are working from Vallehermoso to up to Escalante, and this year 2008 it will celebrate its 75th year? Or the relics or what is now left of the historic "first centrifugal mill in the Philippines" known in recent past as San Carlos Milling Co., Inc. where I spent my high schol years? In the late 1960s, San Carlos was a very progressive city, and the sugar central could produce even over a million piculs of brown sugar in a milling year. You missed visiting the Colegio de Santo Tomas - Recoletos, founded in 1940, Santo Tomas de Villanueva Recoletos Formation House of the Order of Augustinian Recollects now in its 60th year of nurturing young vocations to the religious and priestly life? But you can always go back to San Carlos again! And you try passing by the coastal road where you can find more Recollect churches, such as those Silay, Talisay, Calatrava, etc. Oops! In San Carlos City, we do not term it "traysikad", as you Cebuano natives are wont to call it. We natives of San Carlos simply call it "pedicab"! A term for an object or person is important in determining your place of origin! Regards to Father Galende. Too bad, I cannot attend the Urdaneta Lectures which his committee has organied for June 25-26, 2008. They are class days. By the way, I have finished a short research work on the Philippine cathedrals [12 in all] built by OAR priests and bishops, complete with archival and new photos. Hi, Estan.
