We had breakfast at Sinangag Station instead of the planned Silogan Ni Gian because the later was close for the day. :(
For our Lunch, we bought 3/4kilo of Lechon and Puso in Carcar (you just have to buy Lechon when you are in Carcar!) and we drove to Sibonga Heritage Park to eat. It was a time for us to relax, have a picnic, and enjoy. Reminder though, please dispose of your trash properly if you also wish to eat in the park.
If not for the traffic we experienced - we got stuck for 2hours in Naga :( - we would have followed the itinerary to the clock. As a result, we had our lunch at around 2:30-3:00pm. Good thing we packed snacks so we were not that famished.
But seriously though, traffic in the South is really going out of hand! T_T
Lastly, we used this Prayer Guide we saw in Facebook and took turns to lead the prayer.
I hope this gives you inspiration in your next Visita Iglesia. :)
Love lots,
