I have a copy of this book, its really a collector’s item right now, I wish there will be additional print. I love the write ups and the pictures, It make me proud to part of our very rich catholic tradition. Congratulations guys. I hope the national heritage is doing something to preserve these treasure specially from the hands some parish priest who are completely ignorant of its historical significance and architecture. Suggestion, in the future please do a similar project on the RETABLOs of the Philippine churches, that would also be very interesting. God bless.

Gli, you’re right, priests, politicians and even architects without no proper heritage conservation knowhow should stay away from these renovations and buildings. Pero unfortunately, we have so many beautiful churches being defaced.

The book is available for P2,000 for the softbound copy while P2,500 for the hard bound.
