New Cathedral of Christ The King Church in Tagum City

This was taken last September 23, 2012 during my solo backpacking trip to Davao Region. I wake up early in the morning to get in touch with the first bus trip going to Tagum City in Davao Del Norte. In infront of NCCC Mall of Davao where you can find provincial bus going to Tagum City, it was a cloudy morning that time. I arrived at Tagum City by 8:00am and about 2 hours travel from Davao City. Yes Finally! Tagum City - The City of Palm Trees! A fastest-growing cities in Mindanao and in the Philippines, Tagum City has become a bustling hub of culture, commerce, health services, and entertainment in the Davao Region and in the southern Philippine region. I take a tricycle going to Christ The King Cathedral which is located at Rizal Street Tagum City, Davao del Norte. Telephone No: (6384) 218-1801 Fax No: (6384) 400-1312. That's one of the must-see places when you visit Tagum City. This is my first time to visit the place.It is looks like a castle to me and has nice landscape as well. It was a very beautiful church with a Sacred Heart Jesus. I was amazed of the design of the church and beautiful sculptures adorn the frontage of the church. The altar inside is so unique.  Next post is the world largest rosary which ca be seen in Tagum City, Davao Del Norte.

Basilica De Santo Niño Church by Night Mode

You can travel more and spending less! That why I keep traveling since last year, where Cebu City is my second home. Just a few steps away from the Magellan’s Cross is the famous Basilica of Santo Niño Church. From the outside of the church you can find candle area where you can offer candle.  The blue candle is for your family. Green is for wealth or prosperity. Pink is for happiness. Red is for love. I forgot about the other colors. hehehe! Then I walk around inside the church, it was a solemn night compare during day time. The beautiful main altar is one of the most interesting highlights inside. How to get to Santo Nino Church in Cebu City: Basilica De Santo Nino is located at Magallanes Street, just right in front of Old Cebu City Hall building. You can get a taxi cab or jeepney and tell the driver to drop you at the church. 

A Famous Landmark of Cebu: Magellan's Cross by Night

This photo taken from Magellan's Cross which appears the beauty of historical landmark by night. I've been to Cebu City three times but I did not saw this area during night time so I decided to take photos before going to the hotel. Magellan's Cross is a symbol of Cebu City and the chapel's image can be found in its city seal. It is also seen as the symbol of Roman Catholic. The cross was planted by Ferdinand Magellan, when he arrived in the city in 1521. Now Cebu City is a progressive city in the Philippines. 

Night Shot of Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral Church

This was my last day at Cebu City, so I roamed around downtown and try to make this trip enjoyable and fun-experience. When shooting at night, I always try to find spots of strong light.The area are full of light shaded to the church. The church is one of the tourist destination in Cebu City next to Magellan's Cross and Sto Niño Church. Doing photography at night can be used to create amazing pictures. The architecture of the church is typical of Spanish Colonial-Theme. The Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral Church has a more solemn atmosphere, compared to its neighbor, Sto. Nino Basilica Church where you can find the famous Magellan's Cross. It must be partly due to less foot traffic and vendors outside the area. Then from there I walk around the church and proceed to Sto. Nino Basilica Church. Next Post. . .
