Morong, Rizal

 Morong is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Rizal and is the home of the very very beautiful St. Joseph Parish Church.  Education is a priority in Morong and thus became a center of education in the 70's to the 90's.

The facade of St. Joseph Parish Church is very beautiful.  I was captivated by its beauty and its work of art.  It is built by Chinese craftsmen in 1615. Lion sculptures are evidence of this fact but unfortunately one was stolen.  Seeing the facade in the picture is already jaw-dropping but wait until you are actually standing in front of the church and experience it live :)


There is nothing much to see or do in Morong, we just went there to see the majestic facade of St. Joseph Parish Church.

HOW TO GET THERE:

Going to Morong is easily accessible via the Manila East Road.  Head towards Ortigas Ave. Extension, you will be passing by Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Binangonan and Cardona.  Each town/city has its own pride and you can stop in each as you head towards Morong.  After Morong, if you decide to continue, you will reach Baras and Tanay which is the home of another 2 remarkable church.
