It was Sunday as well as the church facilities were congested as locals as well as tourists gather around the area. Wherever we look we might see numerous people — illumination candles on one side, attending the mass on another, or just taking a walk around the church premises.
We chose to just avoid going inside the church as there were as well numerous people. We just lit some candles at a park-like area in front of the church particularly devoted to people who wanna light candles for the Santo Nino. Candles were free, Yay!!!
Sto. Nino Church
