Lucban (Laguna) Jesus Shrine

So today we visited the Jesus Shrine!, The Filipinos put their faith first for well being and guidance through life  , so off we went on a warm sunny afternoon ...

300 hundred steps to the top where the shrine is and 300 back down ! 

This place is free entry and daily Mass at 10:30 / 11:30 & 12:30

The best times to visit the shrine is ofcourse on Sunday's , Very busy though as people come all the way from Manila !

A small scale model of the entire site

With a Hotel, gift shops & plenty of places on site to eat this is sure a great place for a die hard catholic !

Filipino hospitality

The Filipino hospitality really makes you enjoy the country and everybody wants to know you and be your friend ! . Since I have been here I have joined many gatherings and my dairy is now full up over the christmas period ! ..

And people say it's all about money ? Well they are wrong as I never had to put my hand in my pocket for anything .. the food , the wine and my host even paid for a pack of smokes when I needed to go out and get some !

Oh the women are very entertaining and always making sure I have plenty of food and drink inside me ! .. Filipinos really know how to entertain their guests !
