The Bell Towers of Ilo-ilo

The bell tower sketches below are mixed. From the churches in Ilo-ilo city to Miag-ao's oldest church.

On the first after-noon in Ilo-ilo we went to Molo church and Jaro cathedral. In molo, the left bell was overturned. I did not sketch the Belfry at Jaro Cathedral but i instead did the bell tower in front of it. It was sunset and the Good Friday procession was about to start. I was standing in the middle of the crowed sketching the belfry. when the procession started, we went for dinner, ended up in Andok's hehehe.

On Black Saturday we started at the farthest church we could get to. the Old Miag-ao church, my friend said there are tunnels underneath it but i think they do not let tourists go in there anymore, priests probably turned it into their private wine cellar. After the Miag-ao church we back tracked to the other churches until we reached Ilo-ilo city and had lunch at the breakthrough by the beach over a platter of Talaba and grilled Pantat.















from cebu we got to ilo-ilo via bacolod in this manner, bus - boat - bus - boat
you can also take and over night trip via boat, this option we did not take because it was a last minute decision and we preferred to wrestle it out with other commuters for the easter holiday.
