Last year we went to Our Lady of Manaoag Church in Pangasinan for the first time. I am with my family and our other friends. We arrived in time for the mass. We prayed and then we went around the whole area, the place was very nice and so clean. Many people visited the place to pray.
You can see a lot of things here like:
•Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag, a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the blessed Virgin Mary.

•Pilgrims lighting candles and offerring prayers in the candle gallery at the back of the Minor Basilica of our lady of the Rosary of Manaoag.

•The Main Altar of the Manaoag Shrine, a short distance from the altar is a statue of the Lady of Manaoag.

•Souvenirs, there are several stalls lined up selling different images of our lady of the rosary of manaoag, candles, rosaries, bracelets, etc. There are also ladies selling souvenirs by carrying a basket tied around their body.

•My Favorite native dessert, "TUPIG" I miss going to Manaoag church and buy lots of these. When i first saw it i did not want to taste it because i thought it was not delicious but when i tasted it, it's so delicious. And it is not only for dessert, it can also be eaten as a snack.

A trip to Manoag Pangasinan is not really easy for it's not a short trip, it takes around 5 - 6 hours by car to get there coming from our place in Metro Manila but the trip was really worth it. I just cannot wait to go back to the place again. It left me with so much wonderful memories and it gave me and my family a chance to spend time together and that is what i cherished the most about this trip.
