Capilla de San Miguel of Sitio Remedios Heritage Village

11/20/2012

This is  my final entry on Sitio Remedios Heritage Village. Save the best for last as they say. It took me four entries just to cover this destination alone. Just that there's so much to say and share. I can't miss anything. More entries to come to cover all destinations I visited during my one week sojourn in Ilocandia.
Picture
This is Capilla de San Miguel, named in honor of the patron saint of Currimao. Being the focal point of Sitio Remedios, all homes are located on both sides of the Capilla. Just how it was during the old days, the town's main center is the Church with the Plaza and Municipio just a walk away. I was told that the Church should always be in higher elevation. That way people can always converge in the Church whenever there is a calamity or any natural disaster. It's also a sign of respect to God the Most High.
Picture
Take a closer look of the Capilla and notice the huge tree infront that provides shade - perfect for  spiritual reflection and communing with God. There's also an image of St. Michael the Archangel on top welcoming guests as they enter the Capilla.

It can conveniently accommodate 40 to 50 guests. Religious activities are observed here during Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Special Masses may be arranged too.

Access to Plaza San Miguel. Yet another inspiring location at Sitio Remedios.
Picture
Capilla de San Miguel is Paoay Church inspired highlighted by huge buttresses on both sides.  Arte de Espanol chairs are strategically placed on open spaces for groups to converge. 
Picture
Plaza Manzanilla located infront of Capilla de San Miguel is perfect for gathering and dining. During holidays and special occasions, a wide table is set up here where guests can dine in style.

This is Teatro Ilocano where guests may perform their artistic skills to an audience in an open theater.
Picture
Teatro Ilocano is flanked by fountains, trees and flowers. Very ideal for live performances.
Picture
There's also a fishing community near Sitio Remedios. Every mornig, you can see them going about their daily routine. Here you can walk around and experience authentic rural life. 
Picture
The village with its commanding view of West Phillippine Sea is ideal for watching sunset. On the side is the Torre ni Mariano which is a recreated watchtower that used to dot Ilocos fishing villages.
