Mambajao, MambaWOW! #3
Declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines on September 28, 2017, the 19th-century church built during the Spanish colonial period was ruined by the "birth" (eruption) of Mt. Vulcan on May 1, 1871.
The powerful eruption also caused the sinking of the nearby cemetery, now but marked with a cross.
Camiguin Island has seven (7) major volcanoes and more than 20 cinder cones; Mt. Hibok Hibok, Mt. Vulcan, Mt. Mambajao, Mt. Guinsiliban, Mt. Timpoong, Mt. Vulcan, Mt. Uhay and Mt. Tres Marias.
The destruction has spared no one, not even animals that I took some photos in black and white, as the "souls" of the felines and canines may see the ruins when they come to visit what was once their home.
