Santo Niño Shrine (Romualdez Museum) at Tacloban City

3 Comments

I was a bit hesitant to go in because of the 60 Pesos per person entrance fee with a minimum of 3 persons but my aunt said that she will treat me and my grandmother to enter the Santo Niño Shrine. There’s also a fee of P30 for each camera that we will be using.

After paying, the tour guide instructed us to remove our footwear and wear the slippers they provided so as not to bring the dust inside.

Not doing my assignment to research about Tacloban, I thought that the Santo Niño Shrine was only a church but as the tour progressed I realized that it was actually a house of the former first lady of the country, Imelda Romualdez Marcos. Thus the name Romualdez Museum.

Visiting Leyte Landing Memorial Park

I remember my elementary and high school history subjects teaching about the famous lines “I shall return” that was said by General Douglas Macarthur. Frankly, during those days I never gave much attention to the subject. Only memorizing the dates and names only to pass exams and avoid embarassment if I fail to answer the question by the teacher then I quickly forget and go on my life.

By chance, I remembered those two things, the words “I shall return” and the name General Douglas Macarthur. It was enough to make me excited when I heard that my relatives were going to take me to the statues that I only saw in pictures.

Up until I saw the statues in person, I thought that they were life-sized and was surprised that they were not.
