After our visit to the town of the Mamba's, we headed to the next town to visit the miraculous Virgin Mary, more commonly known as Our Lady of Piat.
Piat is a town 30 minutes away from Tuao, where we had our lunch.
It's my second time in Piat and I have always loved the architectural design of the whole place, and I feel blessed every time.
After Piat, we went back to Tuguegarao and passed by the longest bridge in the region, in Brgy. Buntun, hence, the name, Buntun Bridge.
They say that you can finish singing the Philippine National Anthem in the normal 4/4 beat just right after crossing the bridge from the other side. I did not try because I was busy taking pictures of the Cagayan River from the bridge while we were in motion. I also had a chance to have my own photo taken with the bridge.
At the city center, we stopped by the cathedral.
It was a really long trip so I decided to stay in the van and wait for them as they shop for pasalubong. I nestled early that day.
The next day, we visited the Calvary Hills and St Clare Monastery in Iguig.
It's a perfect holy week spot. The stations of the cross were sculpted at the grassy hills, like a gold course.
This trip is considered an early Lenten Visita Iglesia as we focused on the famous religious landmarks more than other attractions in the region.
