largest Church bell and Marian statue in the Philippines ... ;)

        Now headed to Capiz and see the largest church bell and Marian statue in Philippines as they say. Kilometers from the Roxas City, the capital of Capiz, we have reached the place called Pan-ay. We had the chance to see the Pan-ay Church and climbed sixty three steps to the famous Pan-ay church bell.

        After we said our prayers, we are now headed to Pilar Capiz and see the tallest Marian statue in the Philippines that stands 80 feet tall. We have to climbed 185 steps to reach the top of the mountain and see the statue of Virgin Mary. We brought flowers and candle so we could offer our prayers in their chapel. People from different parts of the Visayas or maybe other parts of the country come here especially during Holy Week to offer their own prayers.
