Loon's Our Lady of Light Reemerges In Maribojoc, Bohol

Here’s the interesting narrative from Bohol First Lady Pureza V. Chatto from her and Gov. Edgar Chatto’s visit to the residence of Dr Reuel and Gryll Relampagos in Maribojoc, Bohol two days ago.

The 7.2 magnitude earthquake on October 15, 2014, levelled to the ground the old stone church of Our Lady of Light in Loon, Bohol. Nothing is left of the church but rubble. Imagine their pleasant surprise when they came across this replica right at the front yard of the Relampagos’ residence in Maribojoc.

The magnificent beauty, the elegance & the splendor of the Birhen sa Kasilak are all captured and preserved in the replica

Hats off to Dr. Reuel & Gryll Relampagos for this. Thanks to Gov Edgar & First Lady Pureza for bringing us to this enchanting place through your photo essays.

Guess Where's the Hottest Place To Be In Bohol?

Bohol First Lady Pureza V. Chatto is indeed perfect in her role as culture and arts emissary of the province. Through her Facebook page, she has toured us to some of the most amazing and interesting places in Bohol.

Here is an interesting first hand account from Mrs. Chatto

July 29, 2014. It is exciting to be in a place so amazing as the residence of Dr Reuel and Gryll Relampagos in Maribojoc, Bohol. I used to watch The Adventures of Gulliver when I was small.

Entering the gate of the Relampagos Residence, I thought I was in Lilliput where I can peek the inside of a church through its roof; where I am as tall as the church belfry; where I can run my fingers on the house stairs! I said to myself, "this is an enchanted kingdom"!
