       Our  Marinduque trip start at the Boac Catheral from the wooden design doors to the elegant designed walls, Boac Cathedral is really admirable. Although this church have resist the test of time, conservation seem to be among Marinduqueno’s important priority because this Church is precisely and worthy to preserved.  Boac Cathedral is a prominent example of how an ancient Church should be maintained.



Casa Real


St. Joseph Parish Church at Poblacion, Gasan, Marinduque. Like the Boac Cathedral, the St. Joseph Parish Church is situated above a hill. My kids and I took the stairs to reached the church. Our  hard work and effort is worth it once we reach it. We saw the Gasan Skyline from the St. Joseph Parish Church. It was probably an amazing experience.
