Basilica de San Martin de Tours, Taal, Batangas Philippines- HERITAGE TOWN
It is considered to be the largest
church in the Philippines
and in Asia, standing 96 metres (315 ft) long
and
45 metres (148 ft) wide. St. Martin of Tours is the
patron saint of
Taal, whose fiesta is celebrated
every November 11....EL PASUBAT
FESTIVAL
Construction of the present church was begun in 1856 by
Fr. Marcos Anton with Spanish architect Luciano Oliver
commissioned to design and manage the construction
of the new church.
Although it was unfinished,
it was inaugurated in 1865. This huge church
was completed
by Fr. Agapito Aparicio in 1878, adding the main
altar of
Doric style measuring 24 metres (79 ft) high
and 10 metres (33 ft) wide
In December 8, 1954, the church was relegated into a
Minor Basilica,
the third in the country to be given such honor.
The church was again
restored in 1972 by the
Taal Quadricentennial Council for the 400th
anniversary
of the town's establishment. By Presidential
Decree No. 375
on January 16, 1974, the church
was declared a National Shrine. The
damaged belfry
was later restored in 1990 under the supervision
of the National Historical Institute.
Another important feature of Taal Basilica is its bell which is
considered as one of the largest bell in the country.
This massive
instrument is 19 feet (5.8 m) in circumference
at the lip, 9.33 feet
(2.84 m) around the crown and 6.42 feet
(1.96 m) in height. During the
earthquake of 1942, the
belfry collapsed and the bell fell from its
location damaging
and silencing it. The king of the bell, as it was
previously
known, is now hanging silently in its previous place
on the
restored dome

SUNSET
Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time, the day is too end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again
(Burot Beach, Calatagan, Batangas Philippines)
But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you
Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do.
(Burot Beach, Calatagan, Batangas Philippines)
Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
(Potipot Island, San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines)
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call
But now to lose your love
The charm throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone
(Potipot Island, San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines)
I have memories enough
To help me find my way
To bring back all the love we've known
(Potipot Island, San Antonio, Zambales, Philippines)

When you look to the past for life's long hidden meaning
For the dreams and the plans made in your youth
Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling
That lies so still and lives in you
In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child
You've found the place to walk the path you've chosen
You'll never miss the world you left behind
When life gives life, it's happiness unbroken
When you give love, it's love you'll find
