Strategically, if one has to attack Spanish friars, the best is to attack tthe most popular one. If the Spanish Franciscan friars were all evil, how come the Filipinos stayed Catholic even after the American period when Protestantism was introduced.

Regarding photographing churches, one has to know when's the best light possible and know how to handle such kind of structures. :) queeniebee,

Marilao's church is unique and such a heavenly color! What is the name of that one? It's interesting to me that different photos of the same church at any given time can evoke a different feeling and emotion. Many good photographers like you, can take a photo but present a totally different "picture" of the same church... I guess that's why one can never get tired of shooting church photos, and observers never get tired of looking at these photos. Hi Estan, The facades do all look very similar.
