Would you believe that I only got to visit Quiapo Church last Saturday? I did so after my San Sebastián tour. Since Quiapo Church was a few blocks away, I decided to go for it.
I passed by some old houses along Hidalgo Street, like this one. It is a contrast of old and new.
I found my way to Quiapo Church in no time.
I immediately felt the vibe of a thousand prayers. It was magical.
My short visit was worthwhile. I got to pray and reflect on the immense faith of the people who visit this popular church everyday.
This was my second basilica for the day, and it was wonderful to finally drop by this church of the people.
I had a simple lunch at Chowking Quiapo. My table was right beside this sidewalk vendor. I was humbled by the busy atmosphere and it was truly a memorable break from my usual weekend endeavors.
I hope that I will experience more meaningful new things this 2018!
