La Paz church, or Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje (Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage) was founded in 1857, the church is named after a statue of Mary that was on-board the Manila Galleon “El Almirante” in 1624. After 3 months of travel and a fire on the ship, a Spanish governor also on-board attributed the safe arrival of the ship to the statue. Today, the church is popular to pilgrims and others asking for protection from the Lady. The district of La Paz is named after her, but the actual statue was placed at the Antipolo Cathedral in the province of Rizal. Today, an antique replica can still be found in Antipolo. http://lapazchurch.org/about/ https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=OSqhZphG_gQC&pg=PA129&lpg=PA129&dq=el+almirante+galleon&source=bl&ots=rLposXBwPF&sig=egeOWxGq1yIRJAXqPQ0UH37Wg-A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwis6qGF7JTdAhWVM94KHZlxDSwQ6AEwDXoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=el%20almirante%20galleon&f=false
Roberto's. Located at the first floor of the Javellana Building, Roberto’s first opened in 1978. It is best-known for its “Queen” siopao: a large, flavorful white bun with bacon, Chinese sausage, chicken, pork adobo, and a boiled egg. A tagline of theirs posted on their menu is “Manamit bisan wala sauce” or “Delicious even without sauce,” and it’s true. They also have a “King” version which has ham, instead of bacon. Open daily, 8am-7pm http://www.choosephilippines.com/go/restaurants/3358/robertos-siopao-iloilo
