Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa City
Just before going back back to chaotic Manila from Mt. Malarayat, Tutubi and his officemates decided to drop by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.
Chaos of vehicles trying to get out of the church compound after the 12nn Sunday mass schedule.
devotees offer prayers to Mary Mediatrix of All GraceCatholic devotees attribute the images on the rose petals to Mary, who took on the name Our Lady Mediatrix of All Grace, though the Catholic has yet to fully investigate the event of the miraculous rose petals and release an official statement.
