Glancing at the structures lining the pavement, I noticed a majestic building and later got to know that it was a church. The filipinos are very fervent catholics, and most possibly is the country which has the most number of catholics in Asia! Religion was another aspect whereby the Spanish and American influenced the people of The Philippines - like the early explorers spreading their beliefs to the conquered lands. The Filipinos believe that everything which happens to them is due to the actions and decisions of God and their saints, in addition, they faithfully celebrate every fiesta and festivals annually. They follow the traditions of all catholics to have a "holy week" to commemorate the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross, even having reenacments of the scenario of the crucification and resurrection, adding to the sad and solemn atmosphere of this time.
John 3:16 For God so loved the World that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
