00:00 This Holy Week, one of the best destinations in San Pablo City is the Cathedral Parish of St. Paul I Hermit,

00:07 which was built by more than 1,600 missionaries.

00:11 After the worship service, there are also services.

00:14 Aside from being an easy destination, it is also free.

00:17 That is the story of Bian Manalo.

00:21 The Cathedral Parish of St. Paul I Hermit in San Pablo City, Laguna is one of the places where devotees are invited to every Holy Week.

00:30 In the early 1600s, the Agustinian Missionaries built the church made of wood.

00:37 In the 17th century, the church was repaired and made of stone.

00:42 We want to be closer to God.

00:46 All we do is to first change ourselves,

00:52 and secondly, to be closer and to believe in God.

00:58 For many devotees, the Holy Week is a reminder of the pain of Jesus Christ in our sins.

01:08 It is a reminder to realize what you did before, and to give yourself a chance to change.

01:18 This is important, especially now, to remind us all how much we loved and sacrificed our Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus,

01:32 so that we can be saved from our sins. It is also good to remind our youth that there are people who celebrate this,

01:41 so that they can also remember that this is what they should do, even if it is for their generation to come.

01:48 And now, during the time of the Eucharist, the church wants to emphasize the importance of sacrifice and having a strong devotion.

01:57 God is always courting us, and He is always chasing us,

02:05 because God wants to show His love for us.

02:09 Even if we made a mistake on the way, even if we made a wrong decision,

02:14 even if we did not choose Him, God is there calling us to come back.

02:19 And if you are looking for a fresh air and place to relax that is accessible and free,

02:24 why not visit Sampaloc Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the City of Seven Lakes?

02:31 It is perfect for a group of friends, family, health enthusiasts, and of course, for the lovers.

02:38 We were able to make a decision to visit Sampaloc Lake, because there are many beautiful views,

02:44 and there are also food stalls, and there are many choices.

02:49 The view is beautiful, it is relaxing, and it relieves fatigue.
