You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

Which is your favorite church in the Philippines architecturally? And why?

This is really, really hard. There are a bunch of beautiful churches all over the country and it’s easy to fill out a top ten just with an eye-test.

For this answer I’m going to go with two churches, not necessarily because they’re any better than the others, but because they just differ from the usual layout of the other churches.

My first is the Miag-ao church in Iloilo.

I mean, just look at that façade. Even from the distance of this far-away shot, you can still discern a bunch of detail in the stonework, Another thing I love about this church is the almost symmetry of the uneven bell towers.

Most Philippine churches only have a single bell-tower, and the fact that not only does Miag-ao have two, but being uneven as well, just shows a lot of character to me.

My other pick is the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist in Sibonga, Cebu.

It’s huuuuuuuuge.
