Point of Interest

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

Point of Interest

Buho bakery. Buho means "hole" in Hiligaynon and this bake shop is literally a hole in the wall in a discrete alley way between a school and some small shops and stalls. Enjoy bread fresh from the oven like teren-teren or bread with a simple but sweet filling stuck together like cars of a train. Panso bread (P2), teren-teren (P8) Open 6am to 9pm. http://flavoursofiloilo.blogspot.com/2011/03/buho-bakery-more-than-just-hole-in-wall.html
