PHOTOHUNT: In Memory

May 9, 2009

This week’s theme is “In Memory” and below are the pictures I took at San Agustin Museum. The San Agustin Museum located beside the San Agustin Church inside the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila. There was an area there where you will see tombs of the Filipino men and women who were brutally killed during world war II.

I took the picture below inside San Agustin Church where you can also see several tombs of spanish conquistadors, spanish governor generals and archbishops. There are also hundreds of laypersons whose remains were housed inside the church like painter Juan Luna, statement, Pedro A. Paterno and Trinidad Pardo de Taverna.

Enjoy the entries of other photohunter’s here

I spent four years in Intramuros and no one told me that there’s something like this there?! Or maybe I was not paying attention before. Heehee. Wow, very interesting. Intramuros is full of surprises.

Very impressive and all great photos. It’s great they have this opened to the public for all to view. Great tribute

Nice photos, as usual. May common folks din palang nakalibing dyan, akala ko puro mga mayayaman lang ang may space sa simbahan.
