Yes, I'm feeling religious this week, that's why, here's another photo of a church, the Palo Cathedral which is a landmark of Palo. It has gone through many renovations without anything being preserved of its 15th century walls. It was destroyed by a fire, then a typhoon in 1897, and then bombed during the US-Japanese war in 1944. Aside from being used as an evacuation and hiding place against the Japanese soldiers' atrocities, it was also used as a hospital for the wounded American soldiers during the war. The photo here is a view of the steeples in shadows taken from Guinhangdan Hill.
(taken: Palo, Leyte)
