People's Park In The Sky
People’s Park in the Sky is located in Mt. Gonzales, Tagaytay City overlooking the whole of Tagaytay and the neighboring provinces. This is used to be called “Palace In The Sky” during the late President Ferdinand Marcos regime. I’ve seen the Taal Volcano in different areas in Tagaytay, no doubt that this is the best place that offers the best view of Taal Volcano.
Thinking for a quick getaway from Manila? Summer is approaching, I can feel the hot weather already in Manila. We think of Tagaytay as an alternative to Baguio because of its weather, it is nearer from Manila and can get there in less travel time. More pictures after the jump.
I haven’t been near the Taal Volcano, looking forward to it soon!
Do You Know Your Saint?
Almost all Roman Catholics believe in angels, little children know them as guardian angels. Guardian angel is based on what day we were born so there are 7 guardian angels. When we were in Tierra De Maria in Tagaytay, where the replica of Our Lady Of Manaog, my bestfriend asked me to go to the rooftop to have some picture taking with the beautiful Taal Lake as our background.
As we stepped on the 2nd floor before proceeding to the “roof top”, the images below caught my attention. The hallway, side by side was full of 6 x 6 inch tiles. Every tile has a date, name of the saint and some information about the saint. The image on top is my youngest son’s saint, Saint Joan Of Arc.
Saint Joan Of Arc – Born: January 6, 1412 at Greux Domremy, Lorraine, France. Died: burned alive on May 30, 1431 at Rouen, France. Beatified: April 11, 1905 by Pope Saint Pius. Canonized: May 16, 1920 by Pope Benedict
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.
This is the majestic 50 foot image of Mary, Mother Of God, Queen Of Heaven And Earth
At the foot of the giant Mama Mary, a wishing well and a place for lighting your candles
The life size replica of Our Lady Of Manaoag
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.
