Just another nice Philippines church, there's many similar ones everywhere. Check it out anyway, it's on the "heritage trail"

The design church of this is simple and nice. Just near Plaza Cuartel. It is part of the City Tour. But our guide told me that we could stay here for about 30 minutes and just say a little prayer and thanks to God that we've arrive safely in Puerto Princesa.

The church is clean and well lit. Even someone like me who is not of Roman Catholic faith, enjoyed the interiors. However, there is not much to see. But hey, a little something to hear (like its history) would have been nice to come from the tour guide.

The cathedral is near the public market. The facade is very solemn especially at dusk when the tree in front casts its shadow at the church walls. Its feels so sacred. There is a Grotto of the Virgin Mary at the side entrance where you can light candles for your personal intentions. Buy candles at the street in front.

The century-old cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Parish has been known as the center of spiritual refuge for locals and visitors of Puerto Princesa City. The cathedral was built during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines in the late part of the 1800s and is made of cement not limestone, it looks like ordinary church in the Philippines except for...

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral is part of the packaged Puerto Princesa City Tour but I am still wondering why. It's an adequately maintained church that serves the need of its flock in the city, but it looks like an ordinary church anywhere in the Philippines. The current church was built during the 50s (according to our guide), it doesn't have... More

We just came from our station of the cross at Mount Calvary and dropped by Baker s Hill. Being a catholic and since it was Holy Thursday, we decided to hear mass at this Cathedral. It was a very humid afternoon and the ventilation was not very apt for the multitude of faithful hearing mass.

Looks good on the outside, and in photos. But the Church is in somewhat of a sorry state indoors. If PP local government and Church willed it, it could turn this into a better looking tourist stop, much like the Baclayon church in Bohol. Hope more work could be done together. More trees outside. Organized vendors. Donation boxes. Exhibit relics.... More

I guess the only thing special about it is that it some of the wood carvings inside are made by the Iwahig inmates. There are plenty of better churches in the Philippines.

I went here on a Wednesday morning (But I forgot the exact date), the church is something different from ours (Pagadian City), it is huge and there are locals outside where in you could ask someone to take your pictures while posing outside.
