Stunning Beauty of Bon Bon Beach in Romblon

One of my bucket list is to explore Romblon Island as it is our province capital. Being an island it has a lot of beautiful things waiting to be explored and experienced by the tourist. Since my brother works in a shipping company we have the privilege to travel by ship for free! So my two brothers and I visited this unseen beauty of Romblon. As we take off the ship and leave the port a big ROMBLON sign carved from marbles meet our eyes. Mesmerized with its beauty we spent time taking pictures and selfies on that place. While doing so, my brother borrowed motorcycle from his colleague so we could travel the whole island. And our first destination, Bon Bon beach!

Bon Bon beach is quite far from the port and the center of the island but the ride is worth it. It is a virgin place with no cottages being installed and is not crowded. I remember the time we got there, we are the only people in the place. It is like we own the whole place. We can only hear the wind blowing, the water rolling and some birds singing. Truly a perfect pace to relax. Since there is no cottages here, we look for the shady part of the shore and place our things and set a little picnic for ourselves.

During low tides, the sand bar can be seen from afar making a beautiful way from the beach to the separated island. Sparkling crystal clear sea water, fine sand, blue sky and fluffy clouds are part of the scenery. Some activities you can do here is swimming, camping and snorkeling. The water is so clear that you can see the sea creatures and corals.

To get here, look from shipping company that docks their ships at Romblon port.

mountain, you can feel the solemn ambiance, with the cold breeze of air. A very majestic feeling.

Aside from the colossal statue, the relic of the True Cross is enshrined inside the monastery chapel. The story goes when St. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great was in search of the Cross. Under the Calvary Hill, Jerusalem, she found 3 crosses. Not sure which one of
the three was Jesus', so she sent a dying woman to touch all the crosses. The cross that revived the woman from her condition was declared the True Cross. The cross was passed from one hand to another, generation to generation, split up to smaller pieces. Gratefully, in 2007, a splinter of that cross was sent from Germany to Philippines and then it was enshrined at the baroque chapel of the monastery. The relic is said to be miraculous.

There are still more places you can visit around and near the monastery. One of that is the disney-like construction on the other part of the monastery with designs that resemble towers and castles.That is located at the 20 hectare Tarlac Eco-Tourism Park. So the kids and the kids-at-heart will enjoy the tour.

Community mass are also conducted every day: 6:00 am for weekdays and 10:30 am for weekends. So if you want to attend the mass, be sure to take note of the schedule.

The monastery is situated on top of the Mount Resurrection which is part of the Zambales Mountain Range in brgy. Lubigan, San Jose, province of Tarlac.  There is an entrance fee of 50 pesos. If you wish to get to the Monasterio, ride a bus going to Tarlac then alight to
the Siesta Bus Stop in Tarlac. Ride a tricycle to the Jeepney Terminal going to San Jose, Tarlac. From there, you can rent a jeepney to Monasterio.  Or you can travel via car. From Manila, take NLEX to SCTEX exiting at Hacienda Luisita. Take McArthur Highway to Tarlac
City then turn left just after Sogo Hotel and before SM. Follow the road leading to Brgy Tibag Junction. You can see signages going to Monasterio de Tarlac. For people from North, head to Tarlac City to Uniwide Mall. Follow the service Road and turn right to Carangian
Bridge. From there, you will see markers leading to monastery. The roads are well paved but it will take about 2 or 2 and half of travel going to the mountain top.

The Angry Christ - Victorias City Tourist Attraction

Negros Island is indeed one of the best place that you can consider when you have your travel adventure plans. World Facts News featured one of the best place in Negros Occidental, the Angry Christ located at Victorias city. 

Is Christ really angry? … This is the common question of visitors of St. Joseph The worker Parish.

For all the write ups about this very popular ANGRY CHRIST painting at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Vicmico, Victorias City, Negros Occidental, I came to think of how I can write a more distinct article about this unique landmark.

Maybe because I was born and grew up here in this community where the church is located, I can just share my personal thoughts about this beautiful church where my religious belief was constructed.

When I was in my elementary up to my high school years, I happened to be one of the Sacristan (Knights of the Altar-KOA), who was happy to serve during mass celebrations here in this Church.

Maybe because I am from here, that I didn’t even think of the exceptional beauty of the ANGRY CHRIST painting that was behind us when we were sitting just beside the priest while celebrating masses. Maybe I found it so ordinary since it has been there even before I was born.

Source: Outoftownblog

Students who are studying in Victorias Milling Elementary School, Don Bosco Technical Institute and St. Mary Mazarello School constantly pass by this church from their home to school or vice versa. And as a former student we used to drop by and play around the church vicinity. And I even remember, we were reprimanded by the priest that time, Fr. Eli Santos, because we were playing around the church’s vicinity while afternoon mass was going on.

As ordinary as I thought it was, there were and as of now there are still, many tourists that are visiting the place just to take a photos of this historic St. Joseph The Worker Parish Church, specifically, the ANGRY CHRIST painting that has brought fame to the Church, to Vicmico Community, and Victorias City as a whole.

I feel so great and lucky enough to be just here going back and forth to the church which many has just been wishing to visit.

Going here is so easy. From Bacolod City North Terminal, just take a Ceres Bus going directly to Victorias City. Just ask a tricycle driver to bring you at this terrific place of the ANGRY CHRIST, that’s in Vicmico Compound. They may charge you, P40-P50 one-way.
