Our Lady of Manaoag is located in Manaoag, Pangasinan. It was given it's canonical coronation in 1926 though the church was built in 1610. Our Lady of Manaoag is a religious shrine with with countless miraculous tales and healing powers. It is considered the pilgrimage shrine of northern Philippines. The Pilipino Catholics consider Our Lady of Manaoag as the revered patroness of the sick, the helpless and the needy.

I came here with friends who regularly visit the place. I wanted to offer prayers to my friends who are sick, to give thanks for the blessings my wife and I received through the years and to photograph an old church.

I was able to do the things I wanted to do but was dissapointed in not being able to take good pictures as the place was too crowded outside and inside the church. The facade of the church, to me was remodelled and not restored to its original design. The rest of the structure was left untouched.

The following pictures were taken in February 2008.
