Churches Destroyed, Lives Lost
Just as I was enjoying the good things that happened at the start of this month, waking up in the morning of October 15 learning about the earthquake in Central Visayas really saddened me. I heard myself say "Oh my God!" when I saw Loboc Church severely damaged.
If you've been following my blog or you're a facebook friend, you know I've been posting about my Bohol-Cebu trip for months now. I'm actually 2 posts away from ending the series. I was only there last March and seeing most of the places I've been to got devastated by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake, it really gave me the chills.

Basilica del Sto. Nino
I also read that some parts of Sta Monica Church in Albur got damaged while the Panglao bell tower was spared.
I cried the other night while I was watching the news when I saw families crying for help and some lamenting over the loss of their loved ones. I pray that they may find comfort in this time of sorrow.
I hope the tarsiers are safe too...
