What remains of a Magnificent Bulusan Baroque Church
This is the back of the old church of Bulusan--a reminder that once upon a time a magnificent 18th century structure that can
rival the best of its contemporaries in character and style stood here.
I wonder how they were able to demolish the thick masonry
structure to build the new chapel-looking church. Of course, it is more
expensive to restore than to build a new one. But the heritage lost is
immeasurable.
