An early church was burned, 25 July 1636, by the Dutch who ransacked the towns bordering Legaspi Bay. This church built after 1724 by Fray Francisco Blanco, O.F.M., was buried by rocks and lava during the eruption of Mayon Volcano, 1 February 1814. The authorities of Cagsaua meeting at Ligao, 6 July 1814 decided to incorporate their town as part of Oaraga. The first centenary of the destruction of the chuch was commemorated, 1 February 1914, with a huge pilgrimage to the ruins where high mass was celebrated."

“CHURCH OF CAGSAUA (Philippines Historical Committee)
The spiritual administration of Cagsaua from 1587 to 1595 was under the Parish of Camalig. An early church was burned, 25 July 1636, by the Dutch who ransacked the towns bordering Legaspi Bay.

Boktor will attest that I am an awful photographer. I took a picture of him with Mt. Mayon as the background. Only his head was in the picture. To this day, he does not make me forget that photo. On what made me put up a blog, it helps keep me sane. As to how I find the time to blog, I'll tell you about it when I have the time. ;) Regarding the pictures, tsamba lang yan.

On what made me put up a blog, it helps keep me sane. As to how I find the time to blog, I’ll tell you about it when I have the time. ;)

Considering that we ARE the only predominantly Catholic nation in Asia, that's almost like entrenching a lone cross across a vast continent... I know this is out of topic, but I'm curious. What made you decide to start a blog? (And when do you even find the time to keep it up with everything going on at the sweat shop? :) These are amazing pics…then again I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve taken up photography — or if photography’s taken you up. :)

The the place where the ruins of Cagsawa is found is a beautiful and peaceful place. It is not eerie at all. I think that you will like it there. Hi zzzbluetooth.

It looks like it's from a postcard. Reading through it though makes it eerie. I’m glad you took the photos. It looks like it’s from a postcard. Reading through it though makes it eerie.
