Camiguín: Remnants Of Gui-Ob Church

>> 17 April 2009
















The Gui-Ob Church Ruins witnessed Mt. Hibok-Hibok's wrath in 1871, the island's premier stratovolcano. Built in 1679 when Guinsiliban became a Spanish settlement in 1598. The seas claimed half of Camiguín and the adobe remnants are living witnesses of the forces of nature that hit the island. Like her glory days, it is still a sanctuary to everyone who wants to rest with the serenity of these holy structures especially on the grounds where the convent and belfry are found. Church services are still conducted at the small chapel within the mossy church walls (I wasn't able to take some shots of it. Again, we were in a hurry).


















Tour Guide: Old Spanish Church of Gui-Ob was built in 1679 by the Spaniards years after the discovery of the Philippine Islands....
