Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Unique Visits
Stopover at Dipolog Cathedral, Zamboanga del Norte
Prior to leaving Dipolog City, the twin city of Dapitan, Tutubi and his friendly hosts took him on a short tour of Dipolog City that began with a few minutes stop at Holy Rosary Cathedral, Dipolog's church reportedly built by the Spaniards near the end of the 19th century.
It's actually disappointing that the more than a century old church no longer has the looks of its age and was undergoing renovation when Tutubi visited.
Dipolog Cathedral's interiors doesn't have the looks of an old church.
the four evangelists adorn the roof of the church. in typical baroque style churches, the four evangelists can be seen on the four columns supporting the apse (the big dome of churches near the altar)
Dipolog Cathedral's claim to fame and history is that Jose Rizal designed the main altar during his exile in Dapitan.
It does have a pretty special look as far as I am concerned.
