Bacolod's Mighty Cathedral

Went to Bacolod last week to to implement on a number of marketing projects simply because there was a strong need for a recruitment marketing in that place..

Let's not deal with that..

Well, going back, that weekend specifically Sunday was extremely boring so i decided to go out for a walk around the park which is quite near from my hotel, and since it was a Sunday, i went to church. and low and behold, i was amazed on how magnificent the cathedral was.. i didn't realize that Bacolod would have a beautiful cathedral..truly an unexpected moment for me.

The tablet found at the door of the cathedral.
The magnificent halls of the cathedral.

more close up view.

the mass was spoken in Hiligaynon but I was able to manage listening to the sermon, but one lesson I have learned was to appreciate churches more, beyond history, there is a certain spiritual presence inside that magnificent church and, I have allowed myself to be swallowed by the beauty and charm of the cathedral.

so next time, to make my trip more enjoyable, I will continue to immerse myself with the place's history and antiquity.. another lesson learned.. till the next trip...
