Cagsawa Church Ruins at Dusk: Mayon Madness Take 3

6 Comments |

The Mayon Volcano was finally clearing up and just in time for sunset! I rushed to the Cagsawa ruins in Daraga, Albay to get the famous shot of Mayon showing off the ruined bell tower of the ill-fated Cagsawa Church. From the Daraga town proper, I hailed a jeep and dropped off at the highway intersection going to the Cagsawa Ruins (there’s another jeepney route, which goes the other way to Ligñon Hill, so better inform the driver where your headed). There were a lot of tricycles parked at the drop-off point but I chose to walk the way to the Cagsawa ruins since I wanted to take photos along the way. Great thing I did because I wanted to take photos of the Mayon Volcano with Albay’s natural countryside scenery.

Made a frame of Fort San Pedro’s ruins in Iloilo. It’s such a shame that this heritage structure has ended up in neglect. Not only did the Americans destroy most of it during WWII but the Ilonggos of today have left it for the storms to be destroyed. Fort San Pedro used to be a recognizable landmark in the city and a great place to bring tourists because of its great view of the sunset, now it’s quite shameful to bring visitors to the area.
