San Lorenzo Ruiz Minor Basilica Sketches

one of the statues at the facade

view of the basilica from ong-pin street

get there the easy way:
from resorts world hotel - take its free shuttle service to the lucky chinatown mall, and walk 7 mins from there.

side note: it is sad how street people just pee on the big trees at the plaza san lorenzo ruiz, the government and the church people are not doing anything about it (as i see it)

another side note: do not go to the ferry terminal to take the ferry across the river to get to intramuros, they stopped the service since 2009.
