"A Bittersweet Visita Iglesia Experience"
Hey Travs!
I wanted to share my recent Visita Iglesia experience, and it has left me with mixed feelings.
Visiting old churches in the Philippines during Holy Week was a treat, with their stunning architectural designs truly captivating. However, my appreciation was dampened by the unsightly power cables and wires that seem to clutter every corner. It's disheartening to see these beautiful structures, which deserve to shine in all their glory, being overshadowed by messy wiring.
A Potential Lost Opportunity
Ironically, the very things that should attract tourists – our rich history and stunning architecture – are being marred by neglect. I hope international visitors, like celebrities who might stumble upon our sites, won't be too distracted by the tangled mess.
A Call to Action
As someone who loves the Philippines, I hope that one day, tourists will see our country in all its beauty, without the eyesore of exposed wiring. Let's work towards keeping our streets clean, preserving our heritage sites, and protecting our landscapes. For a brighter, more beautiful Philippines, let's take pride in our nation and make it a haven for tourists and locals alike.
See you all again on our next travel!
Yours in travel and adventure,
Tom😎
