Cagayan River seems to keep following me as I travel
from Tuguegarao to the other towns of Cagayan Valley. I rode a van from Iguig.
As I was beginning to plan my next itinerary for the next few hours before
sundown, an attractive brick church was there on the side of the road. So I
immediately got off.
St. Philomene Church is a red brick church which dates
back to the Spanish
colonization of the Philippines. It is located along the Maharlika
Highway in Alcala, Cagayan. The largest brick
church in the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao at 67 m in length, 24 m in width,
and 12.5 m in height. It is also the widest church in the Philippines.
The church sheltered me from the
heat of the sun that was blazing my skin.
