If this church is in singapore,thailand,vietnam or hongkong it will already be listed as national heritage and one of a great place to visit. Luckily we still have a few guys like Ronald who help o restore it to it’s glory. If I ever visit cebu i’ll definitely want to see this place.

Wow, the people of Boljoon surely has the motivation. Congrats to you guys! This reminded me of the article in Inquirer wherein my former teacher and his colleagues helped install a Wi-Fi antenna in Batanes so that the students can learn more about things in general. With this technology, not only the OFWs of Boljoon and their children can benefit, but also the students, visitors (like MM) and everyone else as well.

Wow, I’m impressed! For a small and remote town to think of a wifi project, that’s pretty amazing. Congratulations to Ronald and the people of Boljoon.

Natie, I saw your comment belatedly. Yes, Miag-ao is the church we visited in Iloilo with a breathtaking view from the belfry.

The belfry is the best vantage point to watch out for invaders coming from the sea in the old days. If accessible to visitors today, this is also the best place to have a bird’s eyeview of a town we’re visiting for the first time. I remember doing this in a town near Iloilo and barring vertigo, it was a unique experience.

The WFI project of the townspeople just goes to show that we don’t need ZTE-type broadband deals which just become a source of corruption for many people.

MM,

Boljoon is such a quaint town. Staying there just takes away the stress of city life. I should know. The town has been practically home to me in the years 1990-1998.

Your pictures are simply amazing. And thank God, you had Ronald for a guide.
