Sabtang Church

Saint Vincent Ferrer Parish Church, commonly known as Sabtang Church, is a Roman Catholic church located near Sabtang Port in Sabtang, Batanes, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Territorial Prelature of Batanes. Originally a small chapel in 1785 when the Sabtang mission first opened by the Dominicans, the church underwent few modifications until 1984. A short distance to the right of the church's façade stands a pedestal with a stone statue of Saint Vincent Ferrer, the patron saint of the parish and of the municipality. The church and site of the convent was declared a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2008. History Sabtang was recognized as a mission vicariate in 1844, more than a century after the forced evacuation of the Isabtangs following the execution of the local datu Aman Dangat of Malacdang for alleged murder of the Cagayano agents sent by the Spaniards to the island in 1791 to procure supplies. When the Isabtangs transferred to Ivana, the church was left neglected. Father Antonio Vicente became the first vicar of the resettlement when Sabtang was re-established in 1844 and he began the construction of a church made of lime and stone together with the attached convent in that same year. Between 1869 and 1876, many constructions took place not only in the church but also in its immediate surroundings. Under Father Rafael Cano, the side altar of Our Lady of the Rosary was created, a guest room was added inside the convent, a school house for children was constructed, and a seawall fronting the seaport was made. In October 1956, the belfry, described as “curvaceous” and “original”, was blown down by a hurricane. A new one was later put in place under Fr. Gumersindo Hernandez in that same year. In 1983 to 1984, the cogon roofing of the church was replaced by galvanized iron sheets by Father Rafael Carpintero, OP. The same roofing modification was applied to the convent the following year. The following year, red brick tiles forming the flooring of the sanctuary was replaced by cement. Architectural features Like other old churches in Batanes, Sabtang Church was modeled after Basco Church both on its floor plan and façade. The church bell crowns the top of the church, in espadaña style. It has four massive and broad pilasters and heavy set finials, with the façade projecting a heaviness of appearance. Thick walls made of stone and lime enclose the nave, with buttresses on the outside. At the back of the façade are four round pillars supporting the choir loft. Below the choir loft is the baptistery. The original baroque retablo was made of polychrome and gilded woodwork. It is located above the high altar and in place are niches for statues of saints. It underwent renovations under Father Carpintero in 1983 and 1984, with the deteriorated originals replaced by close copies.

Forum Robinsons (formerly Robinsons Place Pioneer) was a shopping mall in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, owned and operated by Robinsons Land. The mall opened on November 17, 2004. It is the 18th mall opened by Robinsons and was its first mall in Mandaluyong. It had a gross floor area of 56,000 square meters (600,000 sq ft). The former name, Robinsons Place Pioneer, was named after its location, Pioneer Street.

In 2010, the mall was renamed to its current name to re-position itself as a cyber lifestyle mall focusing on IT products and to align itself with the vision of the Cybergate Complex. The mall closed on April 30, 2022, to give way for its redevelopment works, originally set to start in early 2020 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The redevelopment will feature a six-storey mall and four new office towers dubbed "The Jewel."

Boix House

The Boix House, also known as Teotico-Crespo House or Casa Boix, is a bahay na bato heritage house located in Quiapo, Manila, the Philippines. Owned by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus, the restoration of the house is currently being advocated by the civic group Kapitbahayan sa Kalye Bautista. The house typifies the bulaklak sa trellis (lit. flowers in trellis) architectural style that was common during the latter part of Spanish rule in the Philippines in the 1890s. History Construction The house plan of Boix House was submitted by a certain Marciano Teotico to the Superior Gobierno in Manila, dated August 24, 1895. The house was described as having two latrines, two mezzanines, a bathroom, a cellar, a coach house, a servant's quarters, and a vestibule in the ground floor. The second floor, on the other hand, was described in the plan as having two kitchens, a servant's quarters, an interior gallery, a sala (living room), a pantry, and three other rooms. Post-WWII The house, together with most structures on the east of Quezon Boulevard in the Quiapo district was spared from destruction caused by World War II. After the war, the house became a dormitory. The most notable resident of the house was former Philippine President Manuel Quezon, who once lived at the house during his law studies at the University of Santo Tomas. It was also believed that Quezon attended parties hosted by the Nakpil-Bautista family, who lived just next door at Bahay Nakpil-Bautista. Because of this, the house was known as the Manuel L. Quezon Dormitory. The ground floor was eventually adaptively reused to house a printing press. The second floor of the house continued to function as a dormitory until 2008 when it was vacated. Ownership history The house was originally owned by the Boix-Terradellas family. Oral traditions then link it to the Crespos, after which the Boix family acquired the property. The Boix family then donated the house to the Society of Jesus. References

Siete Pecados

Isles of the Seven Sins, more commonly known as Siete Pecados, may refer to either of two unrelated groups of seven rocky islets in the Philippines. One group is located in the Iloilo Strait between the municipalities of Buenavista, Guimaras, and Dumangas, Iloilo, while the other comprises the islets of the Siete Pecados Marine Park in the Calamian Islands off the coast of Coron, Palawan. Both groups are recognized local landmarks and tourist attractions. Guimaras and Iloilo The Siete Pecados of Guimaras is a group of seven rocky islets situated in the Iloilo Strait between the municipalities of Buenavista, Guimaras, and Dumangas, Iloilo. With a maximum elevation of only 8 metres (26 ft), the islets form part of a coastal tourist area that includes the nearby islet of Roca Encantada (Enchanted Rock) off the coast of Buenavista. The name Siete Pecados is also used colloquially for a triangular traffic island and intersection in Iloilo City, situated in between the Iloilo Provincial Capitol, the Atrium Mall, and the Arroyo Fountain. It was built in the 1950s and was inspired by the islets in Guimaras. Siete Pecados Marine Park Siete Pecados Marine Park is a marine protected area in the Calamian Islands off the coast of Coron, Palawan. Established in 2005 with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the park is known for its coral reefs, marine biodiversity, and community-based conservation initiatives. Called the "Crown Jewel of Coron," it is popular with tourists for snorkeling due to its clear blue waters, vibrant coral gardens, and marine life. On 17 April 2024, the marine park received a Blue Park Award from the Marine Conservation Institute during the 9th Our Ocean Conference in Athens, Greece. It was one of three marine protected areas recognized for excellence in marine biodiversity conservation. In popular culture Several legends have been associated with the origin of the name Siete Pecados. According to one legend, seven sisters went swimming against their mother's wishes and drowned. In another version, the sisters drowned after attending a dance despite being forbidden to do so. In both accounts, seven rocks emerged from the sea the following day. Another legend tells of a benevolent chieftain who asked God for a way to remember his seven daughters. His wish was granted when seven islets rose from the sea. References
