This penitential walking has a double purpose, namely: "Visita Iglesia" the usual term used when the Philippines was under the Spanish regime as one of its colonized country for 377 years covering the period from 1521 when European explorer, Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines and ended in 1898 with with the outbreak of the Spanish–American War. The visitation of churches totals to 14 where each church visited represents as one of the Stations of the Cross. It started from 6:00 A.M. and ended at 3:30 P.M.
This travel blog gives you a rich information of the Philippines ranging from its peaks, countryside and the urban areas. At any rate, it also showcases the culture of the Philippines. Lastly, it also includes a few travels of the blogger in Asia and Africa. Its title "Lexical Crown" is attributed to the Philippines as a leading tourist destination.
