Description

Filipinos often call her Mama Mary, they are very fond of the virgin mother of Christ. Since Spanish times, the virgin has been the main icon of some of the traditions of Filipinos. Seen here is a statue of her as a sign that the tower seen at the background has been dedicated to her. (date: 2004-12-26)
