  • Hello everyone, Joel Syquia here with another Church Feature. It's inspiring to see how a parish and town demonstrated amazing resilience in the face of the lahar (volcanic mudflow) that resulted from the world’s largest volcanic eruption in the last 100 years - the June 15, 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Even though the parish church of Bacolor, Pampanga was buried by lahar from Mt. Pinatubo in 1995, the parishioners and townsfolk learned to adapt, and continued to use the part of the church that remained above the ground, even as they reconstructed their own homes above the lahar that buried their town.
    The story of San Guillermo Parish Church in Bacolor, Pampanga is a story of how a community can work together to literally crawl out the darkness and reach for the light... and keep the faith alive.
    It is a Jubilee Church.

    Your MotoFaith.ph is an admirable vlog. A unique advocacy right at the core of what you enjoy doing - motorcycle adventures. Likewise, it is inspiring - seeing things right from the heart of a believer. Keep safe

      @@valueangles This is such a motivating comment! Thanks a lot for it. I'll also try to continue improving so that I don't miss important details about the churches and other places I visit. It's so easy to find inspiring stories in the Philippines, and so I hope to do justice to those who actually live them.

    Very good feature presentation of San Guillermo Church, half-buried in lahar during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Proud of our deep Catholic faith, and for the people of Bacolor who kept what they could to restore their church. Thank you very much for featuring it, Joel!

      Thanks so much, and I'm so happy that you liked it! I feel bad that the lockdown has limited my ability to make more church features, but I have some more lined up once we can safely travel again. Stay safe and God bless!

    Thank you Atty for sharing this another beautiful church of San Guillermo. This is the Church besides our school run by the OSB Sisters then, which was also buried w lahar. It was in that Church I heard God calling me to be a religious sister when I was a sophomore HS student. Thank you for featuring it as it brings back many memories both happy and challenging ones. After the lahar, we students were toured by bus to see our school and we were all crying to our hearts. And I felt home watching your vlog.
    Thank you and keep moving the hearts of people through your unique and very interesting vlogs. God bless!

      Hi Sister Aleth! Thank you and I'm very glad that I was able to somehow bring back memories that were connected to your calling. It was a very meaningful calling indeed because you have yourself been impacting the lives of so many other young girls and boys with your advocacy and mission to protect children at risk. God bless you always!

    Greetings from South Australia Mate. Just a brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Incredible that they have adapted the church so that it can still be used. My wife and I visited the Philippines years ago and stayed on the Island of Mindanao for a month. Such a precious time. Take care

    Hello sir, can I ask permission if I can use some clips from this video para po sa isang vlog na ginagawa ko about Bacolor? I'd like to use your best shots sa interior ng church sir. I will be crediting your work as "Courtesy" then I'll send the link ng aking finished material once uploaded. Thank you sir for whatever help you can spare me sa ginagawa kong material :)

      Hi URBEX PH, thanks for reaching out. I checked your channel out and you have interesting features 👍. It should be fine to use a short clip from this video with the required attribution. It's great for UA-camrs to support each other, although I would just make the usual request to present the material in a respectful way. Thanks!
