Pisamban XIX


Santa Catalina de Alexandria Church (Porac Pampanga)

The avalanched of lahar almost erased this town to the map of Pampanga. Aetas made refuge of this area after their homes were devastated by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. “Binulo Festival” is their signature festivity recently introduced to the public. Binulo is the way of cooking of the Aetas native. The church was simple with only the circular rose window. One of its distinct feature is that the seal of The Agustinian Missionary can still be found at the head of the main door. Other churches loose this detail due to the inclusion of canopies in front of the main door. Typical Christ centered main altar.
