looks like, though there are 3 claimants to being the oldest church in the philippines---san agustin in manila, sto. niÃ±o basilica in cebu, and baclayon church in bohol. these are all correct if one takes the nuances of what it is to be the oldest, i.e., oldest structure, oldest church establishment, etc.

thank you! i will pray that the people of bohol will rebuild our churches. i just finished talking to my mommy wella, she's the dilg provincial director in bohol. and she said that the water is still out. electricity has been returned, however fluctuates. the lgu officers have reported some damages to other churches kono. loon's church was completely demolished.

there are people around bohol that are sleeping outside and in open spaces for fear of another quake. roads are also cracked, bridges are damaged.

my heart is saddened to hear this.

my brother's family of four had pitched a tent outside their house, just to make sure. they take turns staying awake to warn the rest, in case. he said the aftershocks are just as uncomfortably strong.

i hope the valencia church is intact?

Saints lived and worked in this parish church. One of the beatified Spanish priests actually served in this beautiful church.

I pray to God that Dimiao and Valencia were spared of this travesty.
