Ika-8 ng umaga nang natuntun ko ang lugar sakay ng dyipni. Nang nasilayan ko na ang nakamamanghang tanawin, aking natanto na ang iglesia pala ay isa lamang entablado, ang araw at ang mga ulap ang sabik na makuhanan ng litrato.

Paoay Church is probably one of the most photographed churches in the Philippines. When I came to see the old church in 2008, I was a bit wary being one of the last of my friends who got to visit the place. How could my photographs be any different from all countless travelers out there? I could not just photograph Paoay Church the way others had photographed her.
It was around 8 in the morning when I reached the place via jeepney. Once I got there and finally viewed the majestic sight, I realized that the church was just the stage, the sun and the clouds were the ones eager for a photo shoot. (By Rob San Miguel)

| I combined two different shots of the church. The cloud moved a bit on the second shot and the sun dimmed a little. Well, what do you expect from models! |
