The Pindangan Ruins is made more majestic by a great acacia (rain tree) that grew where the old altar used to be. You can see that they used corals to build the walls of the church as most of the baroque Spanish churches located near the sea.

There's a modern chapel built nearby and you can say your prayers there too and light candles. Parking is free and place was easy to find just by following...
