Wonderin' Bayambang



Last week a friend of mine was asking me if what are my plans for the weekend - I told him that I'll just stay home - play DoTA or do a movie marathon on my laptop the whole day, that was the plan but I ended up in the province of Pangasinan specifically the town of Bayambang. Actually, it was already planned I just totally forgot it.  It was my second time in Pangasinan, my first was way back in college, we visited Manaoag Church. Bayambang is a busy place at day but establishments close early at night, I can't even find decent bar to chill in, in other words "boring". Lol! ,what would I expect - maybe for a change.

The next day was fun, we decided to have a walk and took some pictures of the river and Saint Vincent Ferrer Church.



Saint Vincent Ferrer Church



Based on what was written on the wall:

Recieved the habit of the order of preachers. He was sent to Barcelona for further studies. Later, he taught Philisophy at Lerida and in 3 years returned once more to Barcelona.

In the troubled time in which he lived. He was an angel of Peace. after recovering from serious illness in 1398.
