Cathedral of St. Paul, First Hermit (San Pablo City, Laguna).

• The patron saint of this cathedral is Saint Paul the First Hermit (Paul of Thebes), regarded as the first Christian hermit.

St. Bartholomew the Apostle Church(Nagcarlan, Laguna)

• The marker placed in 1938 by the Historical Research and Markers Committee designates this as the Church of Nagcarlang. The first church, which was of light materials, was built by the resident priest assigned in 1583. The second church, of brick and stone, was built in 1752, but was partly destroyed by fire in 1781. A choirloft was added to the reconstructed church in 1845, simultaneously with the Nagcarlang Cemetery.

St. John The Baptist Parish (Liliw, Laguna)

• The Philippine Historical Committee marker (circa 1939) reveals that the ecclesiastical administration of this town belonged to Nagcarlang up to 1605. The church and the convent of Lilio (it is designated as the Church of Lilio) were seriously damaged by the earthquakes of 1880. The reconstructed church and the convent were partly burned on April 6, 1898.

St. Gregory Church (Majayjay, Laguna)

• The National Historical Institute marker reveals that the first church of bamboo and nipa was established by the Augustinian missionaries in 1571. Rebuilt by the Franciscans in 1578 after it was destroyed by fire. The existing church was built in 1616 to 1649.

St. Mary Magdalene Church (Magdalena, Laguna)

• A marker reveals that the church was built from 1829 to 1839, and from 1848 to 1855. The belfry was erected and finished in 1861. The convent was built in 1871-1872. The sand and stone used in the construction were hauled by the community members from the river.

Pagsanjan Church (Pagsanjan, Laguna)

• As can be gleaned from the marker placed by the Philippine Historical Committee in 1953, the church was founded in 1687, with the original chapel of bamboo and nipa reconstructed in 1690.

Paete Church (Paete, Laguna)

• Paete was founded in 1580, while the stone church was built in 1646 and ruined in 1717. A stronger church was constructed also in 1717, later destroyed by the 1880 earthquake. The church built in 1884 was destroyed by the 1937 earthquake.

St. Peter of Alcantara Church (Pakil, Laguna)

• Pakil used to be a part of Paete. The marker at the side of the church, placed by the National Historical Institute, reveals that a church made of bamboo and nipa was built in 1676 when Pakil was separated from Paete. Construction of the stone church and convent started in 1732 and completed in 1767. The church, therefore, is more than 200 years old. The marker at the other side of the main door commemorates the 330th anniversary from the founding of the St. Peter of Alcala Parish.

Nuestra Senora de Candelaria(Mabitac, Laguna)

• The church of Our Lady of the Candles stands on top of the hill. We thought it’s accessible only through the 125-step climb at the side of the church (there’s a half-step, so its strictly 125 and 1/2 steps). Once on top, and while gasping for air, we discovered that there’s an easier way in through the front, accessible by car, but we wouldn’t have the opportunity to count the steps if we’ve used that route.

CORREGIDOR

One of the most celebrated battles of World War II took place in this tadpole-shaped island more than 60 years ago. The highlight of the visit would be the 30-minute light-and-sound show at the tunnel, which chronicles the significance of the place as it served as center of American operations during WWII.

Departs daily from CCP Bay Terminal A, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.

PAGSANJAN FALLS

To reach Pagsanjan Falls, tourists or visitors have to ride on bancas (native canoes) manned by skilled Pagsanjeño boatmen (bankeros). The upstream trip to the Falls lasts more than one hour and the return trip is less than an hour. It is on this return that one has to shoot the rapids -- an unforgetable thrill of a lifetime. There are fourteen roaring rapids in all.       The trip upriver is a rather slow process, for the two boatmen are paddling against the stream currents. Before entering the gorge, one would see a broad bend or curve of the river, whose water is extremely deep. High as 300 feet, lush with tropical vegetation -- wild orchids, ferns, and vines. In early morning one may see little monkeys chattering among the vines and birds of multi-colored plumage.

A pleasant 2 hour drive through the scenic country side South of Manila brings the visitor to a colonial coconut plantation and the rural life of days gone by.

Lunch is served at the Labasin Waterfalls, where dining tables are uniquely set in about eight inches of running water from the falls.
