Prinza Dam

The Prinza Dam is a Spanish Era made Dam located in the heart of the town of General Trias. It was said to be built within the 18th to 19th Century which stops the water from the Upland Parts of Southern Tagalog and especially the Laguna de Bay Area. Though today, the dam is not very functional as a real dam but it still is strong enough to guard of water from overflowing.

During the Typhoon season, this dam does overflow just like the photo shown above. But during the Hot Summer days, the river bed turns dry.Sadly, some vandals especially the once left during the last elections did remove some of the beauty and serenity that the dam creates and gives the people passing by but most of us still thinks its a great sight to see.

Today, Typhoon Pedring caused a big casualty to the Country with its strength of 130 - 150 kph and speed of approximately 20 kph. Classes are suspended as it sent out inches and inches of flood and devastating winds. Even the Town of Noveleta here in Cavite did not get away as they declared themselves in the State of Calamity. Please Pray for the Philippines and all the Filipinos who are still suffering from the Typhoon. God Bless us all.

Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Dome

The Dome of the Altar at the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish in General Trias, Cavite is a depiction of the Pentecost. The Pentecost happened after the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ when the Holy Spirit came down upon his Disciples. The event that happened Two thousand years ago is also known as the Birthday of the Church.

This Magnificent Painting was a masterpiece of Rolly Acuña and Boy Maclang, both are proudly from General Trias, proudly from the Province of Cavite.

Magallanes Church

The Nuestra Señora de Guia Parish or the Our Lady of the Way Parish in Magallanes, Cavite is located at the Heart of the Mountain town of Magallanes. Magallanes is located at the edge of the province of Cavite bordering the neighboring province of Batangas. It was named in honor of the Portuguese Explorer Ferdinand Magellan who discovered the Philippine Islands for the Kingdom of Spain in the 16th Century.

The Mint Green Walls deviate the usual adobe stone walls that are the once used in most churches around the province and in most of the Country.

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

The Philippines and the whole world is Celebrating the Feast of the Birth of our Mama Mary! You have always been there for everyone since Jesus gave you to us from His cross. We will always be grateful and forever be thankful for the Love you give unconditionally. You will always be what a Mother is defined to be.

Continue praying for us and looking upon us! Let me share everyone my Favorite Song about Mama Mary, Birheng Maria, Tala sa Umaga (Virgin Mary, Star of the Morning)

Birheng Maria, Tala sa Umaga
Noon pa man ay itinangi ka.
Ang 'yong liwanag ang takdang lulupig
Kay Satanas, Tao'y ililigtas

Iyong tunghan, kaming nananambitan
At ang lupang iyong tinapakan
Tulong mo'y ilawit sa'min Maria
Ngayon at sa aming kamatayan

Happy Birthday Mama Mary!

Inside Maragondon Church

During my last post about the town of Maragondon, I have featured about the famous Maragondon Church and its reconstruction. And by request of a friend from Eagan Daily Photo, Leif, Here I present everyone the Interior of the Maragondon Church. Whitewash walls surround this magnificent interior that truly creates the feeling and aura of safety and security inside the church.

The Trail inside the church is probably one of the longest in the Province which is one of the reason most weddings are being held here beside the beauty and the historical value of this church. The trusses on the whitewashed ceilings have encrypts of Latin prayers.

Under the Mango Tree

The shade that a Mango Tree gives cannot be understated. Filipinos especially the Farmers have their afternoon siestas under these sturdy and shady trees especially in the hot and humid summers or even on cloudy days like this one on the Highlands of Magallanes, Cavite. Greenery Everywhere on this untouched town located in the mountains of Cavite just a few miles away from the Province of Batangas.

This is probably my very first post of Magallanes here in Cavite Daily Photo because all myt life, this has been the very first time I have been to this remote Town in my Province, Yes! Ever in my Life! I hope you stay tuned to my future posts about this magnificent and peaceful town in the Upland Cavite.
