Diocese of Boac: Revisited [Three]

I think that the church is made of brick. And it has withstood the test of time, earthquakes and typhoons and the humidity. A testament to the enduring evangelistic efforts of the Spanish and Mexican Missionaries. A testament too of the love of the Filipino people for God and the Church and for their enduring devotion to the Mother of God.
