During the drive back to Iloilo from Roxas City, Capiz, we decided to take a stop over in Dingle, Iloilo. Eric wanted to visit Dingle Church since he’s never been there before, mostly probably because the poblacion or town center of Dingle is not directly along the main highway. If you’re commuting, you have to ride a jeep or motorcycle to go Dingle Church.
Dingle is one of my favorite old churches of Iloilo. The Dingle Catholic Church was built in 1886. This church of Baroquial style is made of limestone quarried from Bulabog Mountain, painstakingly carried by the early parishioners through narrow, steep and dangerous trails to the present site.
Since I’ve explored much of Dingle already, I took Eric, Junjunn, and Junelle to see the other interesting sights in town.
Cry of Lincud Monument
Jalaur River and the old Suspension Bridge
Moroboro Dam
Dingle Cemetery
One of the sights along the main highway
We also went to see the new City Hall of Passi.
In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know." After graduating in college, I decided to hold off pursuing my profession and embarked on a free spirited journey of adventure and self-discovery. My travels have led me to many places across the Philippine Islands and South East Asia. I don't know where this path will take me but I'm certain I'll get a lifetime of stories out of it.
Can somebody tell me if you know Dr. Pedro Balleza nd also Dr. Cynthia Palabrica in Dingle? They are old friends of mine way back in the 50s and the 60s. Thank you in advance.
