PLARIDEL, Bulacan: Church of Quingua

     Why not Church of Plaridel? That is simply because in the days when Bulacan (which was not yet a province that time) is under the jurisdiction of Pampanga, this town is used to be called as Quingua. 


     Beautifully adorned altar, which is just right in celebration of the feast of St. James the Great or Santiago Apostol, the town's patron saint celebrated every 30th of December.
