Our Lady Of Manaoag In Tagaytay
If I wasn’t mistaken, the last time I’ve been to the Shrine of Our Lady Of Manaoag in Dagupan was year 1990. That was 17 years ago. I didn’t know that there is also a replica of Our Lady Of Manaog in Tierra de Maria, Home Of Meditation And Enrichment in Tagaytay near The Japanese Garden. More pictures after the jump.

My bestfriend always telling me how solemn Tierra De Maria is. She never been in The Shrine Of Our Lady Of Manaoag in Dagupan. I agree with her. If you’re on your way to catch a good view of Taal Volcano, don’t forget to drop by Tierra De Maria.
Shrine Of Jesus The Way, The Truth And The Life
The best thing to do on the first day of the year is to attend mass with our family. To make this day special, we decided to attend mass at the Shrine of Jesus The Way, The Truth And The Life, its in the reclamation area, Pasay City near SM Mall of Asia. It was our first time to visit the shrine.
The church was built in 1999. From Roxas Boulevard, you could catch a glimpse of the shrine. Years ago, I didn’t know that there was a church in that reclamation area until I’ve received a wedding invitation which I didn’t attended because of my work schedule. At that time, the only way to get there was by private vehicles. When SM Mall Of Asia was totally operational, its possible now to go to the church easier. I grew up in Baclaran and I still remember that it used to be the bay where my dad and I watch the sunset.
My 7 year old son told me while we were inside the church that as far as he remembered, this was the most beautiful church he saw. I agree. Pictures were taken at 6pm.

Baclaran, my place
Barangay Baclaran is noted for the Wednesday Novenas at the shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help National Shrine of the Redemptorist Church. Every Wednesday more or less 10,000 people from all walks of life converge at the church to attend the novena. It is without argument the most attended church in Asia. Many known celebrities who are devotees to Our Lady of Perpetual Help do come at Tuesdays nights to avoid people. Many people mistaken Baclaran as part of Pasay, it is actually part of Paranaque.
Traffic is normal on Wednesdays especially on first Wednesdays of the month. Baclaran is a major transportation hub, with many buses and jeepneys terminating here. Light Rail Transit (LRT) ends in Baclaran while its a ride away from Metro Rail Transit (MRT). There are also a lot of pedicabs around. Shuttle ride to SM Mall Of Asia is just a stone away from the Church, the terminal is at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Redemptorist Road.
Baclaran is also known as a bargain center throughout the world due to the amazing discounts shoppers enjoy at its dry goods markets. Its imposible that you cannot find the goods you’re looking for. Before I forget, “Pakyawan Sa Wilmart” will be having their sale on October 15, Monday. They’ll be selling all items at wholesale price. Their goods are incredibly cheap, some vendors bought items here and resell them. It is located in front of Iglesia ni Cristo.
There are a lot of known fast food chains in Baclaran especially around 
the church. Bibingka and puto bumbong is possible every Wednesdays all year round, you can find them along the street at the back of Berma Shopping Center. Don’t forget to ask for your free hot tea for every order of puto bumbong. Since MMDA is always around, you can also find the best buys in this street.
