About the Cemetery and Chapel:

The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery was built in 1845 by the Franciscans under Father Vicente Velloc. It was built alongside the rebuilding and expansion of the Saint Bartholomew Parish Church and Convent. It was in the Cemetery where the Leaders of the Katipunan held their meetings in 1896.

My Visit to the Cemetery:

The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery is one of its kind in the Philippines, and it was only recently i noticed how beautiful this Cemetery is. The first few times i visited this Cemetery were several moons ago and in those Visits i never noticed how this Church is similar to the Saint Bartholomew Parish Church. The Blue and White Floor tiles were the same as the ones in the Parish Church. This i NEVER noticed before. The Cemetery grounds and the Cemetery itself are very well maintained. Just fitting for one of Laguna’s Crown Jewels.

About the Chapel:

In 1759 a painting on canvas of the The Nuestra Señora de la Porteria was brought to Majayjay from Madrid, Spain by the Franciscan Missionaries. The Municipal Captain of Majayjay petitioned for the construction of a Chapel or Ermita to house the Miraculous Image. The Chapel was named in honor of  The Nuestra Señora de la Porteria.

InApril 21,1760 the Image was enshrined in its altar by four priests. The Curator decreed that a mass be held every thursday and ever since many have become recipients of the Miraculous Lady.

My Visit to the Chapel:

Despite having visited Majayjay several times, i never noticed this small chapel. It was by accident that i got to see this chapel. We were already leaving Majayjay when i saw a beautiful view of the church and when i got down the Chapel greeted me.

San Nicholas de Tolentino Chapel / La Huerta Chapel / Bisita ng La Huerta (La Huerta, Paranaque)

About the Chapel: The Chapel of San Nicholas de Tolentino or the La Huerta Chapel was built in 1776. The Chapel was converted into a Storehouse and Magazine by the Filipino Army during the Fil American War.

My Thoughts on the Chapel: The Chapel of La Huerta is a Small and Very Old Chapel located in La Huerta. The Chapel was inside a Gated Compound so I was not able to take pictures of the Inside. From the picture of the Chapel taken in 1898. The Chapel looks like it has not changed.
