Just been to the Ilocos region to see Paoay and the Sta. Maria churches. I have visited San Agustin church in Intramuros likewise. Seeing these churches felt like I was thrown back in time.

The Paoay church surely made an impression on me. Perhaps it's because one can see the whole structure without any distractions around it and also it is very imposing, really. I loved it.

What I like in the San Agustin church in Intramuros is its grandiosity, that trompe l'oeil ceiling.

The Sta. Maria church impressed me with its location the most though.

I think something should be done for Paoay church. Its kind of falling into neglect.
