Trip to Roxas City

November 14, 2009

    This November I was given opportunity to go to roxas for a consultation meeting with local goverment units.  Well, that was an advantage for me because Roxas City is my moms birthplace and my aunt and uncle are still living in there.  The consultation was lasted for a week and during our last day we’ve been given a chance to roam around and visit the beautiful and historic places of Roxas City.  We went to Santa Monica Church which is located at Municipality of Panay just  five kilometers away from Roxas City.  

 

 

  In that church you could see the oldest and biggest bell in asia but during our visit we were so unlucky because there were mass going and going to the top to see the biggest bell while  there is mass scheduled is strictly prohibited by the priest.  At first it was prostrating because we taught we could see the real biggest bell but all in all we are still fortunate that there was a reflica of the bell which can be found just outside the Santa Monica church.  Also we were given a chance to a get inside in their mini museum where in you could see the oldest chruch documents and stuffs.  After our visit to the Santa Monica church we went to Wendy’s Garden where in you cant different kind of plants and animals.  After visiting wendy’s garden we dropped by at the roxas market where we bought various kind of “UGA” dried fish.   Cool… right!
