The church looks so lovely! It stands out from other churches I’ve seen, particularly in its art and architectural style.
The area around the church is also pretty nice. Since there aren’t many homes nearby, you can really feel how holy this Korean Temple is.

This is the best spot to sit down and write. If you ask, Philippine churches have enough airflow.
