Lazi Convent
Just across the church is the Lazi Convent, considered as the oldest in the Philippines and largest in the Asian Region. Constructed in 1887, it is a two story stone house structure and has a U-shape when seen from the top. During the early times after it was built, it was considered a rest and recreation place for the friars.

Lazi Church

I made my way to the Lazi Church and found its facade and structure all in all quite unique for its kind in the Philippines. The lower part is the usual cement and stones but the upper part is made of wood that seems like a barn with colored windows. I like the look of its church from its old stained and faded paint walls and its pinkish color.

Cambugahay Falls
There is a short flight of stairs going down the falls. This one and only falls in the island as I’ve seen doesn’t really surprise you with it’s towering heights as the other falls we’ve seen lately. It’s actually a low series of multi-step falls. A humble scenery I may add.

Lazi Church altar interiors

I imagine this church to be really grand when it was new. Just look at the details of the design on the ceilings,the patterns and the pulpits. The altar looks big as well than the usual. The lighting at that time in the afternoon is also perfect. I like the drama of light penetrating through those old doors. This is church has quite a character. I’m not surprised when it became a National Treasure in the 70’s.
