*Nick Joaquin said it right when he wrote in his My Manila book that Intramuros would never be the same without its great churches.

I find it peculiar that we’re celebrating ‘La Naval de Manila’ when in fact, its not in the city of Manila (technically speaking) but in Quezon City.

The bombing of the Santo Domingo church in 1941 was a great cultural tragedy, a historical continuity could have been achieved if the Dominicans rebuilt the church in its original site.

Hi Traveler on Foot. Thanx for the comment. It is enlightening and heartwarming. I am very happy that I have made a difference for the good. I just hope that other people will also blog about our heritage as we need to spread awareness.

Again, thank you very much.

The one at Pinoycentric the Semana Santa presentation. It is actually the two slide shows (La Naval and the Semana Santa) that has inspired me to blog about our heritage.

I think I was not able to express my gratitude for the inspiration estan. Thank you.

Thanx Oman. I’ve read and heard about the La Naval festivities before but it was only last year that I had the opportunity to cover it.

My family used to go there when we are still living in Manila back in the 80s. I have not visited that church for about 2 decades now. Glad you posted it. Great job again Estan and Congratulations on your win in PBA2.
