 THE JUAN LUNA SHRINE

The Juan Luna Shrine is a two-storey structure made of clay bricks and molave wood. This restored ancestral home of the Luna clan is itself a life-sized historical artifact that speaks of affluence and classic elegance.The first floor is where the treasure trove of collections is categorically displayed, while the second floor is divided into 4 sections: the living room, the bedroom, the chapel and the azotea.A few things that represent Juan Luna’s brother, General Antonio Luna, are also displayed in the shrine. These include his sword and uniform and the letter he wrote to Leon Apacible. Like old edifices, the Juan Luna Shrine's vintage touch evokes natural charm.

Biography of Juan Luna

THE BADOC ISLAND

This whole island is situated east side of mainland Luzon. About 1kilometer offshore to the nearest town mainland. It is a virgin island with no improvements and no squatters. The island itself is full of enchantments, untouched, unpolluted and unexplored. There is an abundant source of potable water to maintain a community. With the vast track of lands not to mention its white sand beaches and crystalline tropical waters one can experience the island fever.

Underneath its ocean seabed are myriads of marine life. One can view and enjoy the endless paradise of undersea world, which is composed of its bounty of corals and coral garden perfectly designed and finely crafted by mother nature. This is a must place to see by deep sea divers and scuba divers enthusiasts. Ideal for island resort development.
More than an hour flight from Asian countries like Taiwan, Hongkong and Singapore.

La Virgen Milagrosa de Badoc

The La Virgen Milagrosa. History traces the life-sized statue to Nagasaki, Japan. It was sent floating in the sea by missionaries operating in secret in Japan (for fear of persecution during the Tokugawa Regime), along with the Miraculous Statue of the Black Nazarene (Sinait's Santo Cristo Milagroso). It was first found by local fishermen in the shores of Barangay Dadalaquiten, on the boundary between Sinait and Badoc, in the year 1620. Only fishermen from Sinait were able to move the Statue of the Black Nazarene. The fishermen from Badoc, unable to move the Black Nazarene, were able to move the La Virgen Milagrosa that came with it--which was, in turn, unable to be moved by the fishermen from Sinait. They took the statues to their respective towns, hence becoming their patron saints. Today The La Virgen Milagrosa is enshrined at the Badoc Church.

Now, the church, already weather-beaten but unweakened by time and age is the sanctuary and shrine of La Virgen Milagrosa de Badoc, because it was found in the year 1620 by Badoc and Sinait fishermen along the shore of Lugo village. The image, encased in a wooden box, together with a life-sized picture of Santo Cristo Milagroso, the statue of angels and one violin, were given to the Sinait fishermen as their share from the mysterious discovery, Since, then, the Sinait Catholic church has become the shrine of the Santo Cristo Milagroso.
