| Climb these steps at the right side of the entrance of this island to see the breathtaking view I was talking about earlier. As you can see, my children were able to climb these steps to see the view. It's definitely worth the climb. |

THE STORY OF MATINLOC SHRINE

| Guadalupe Yabes, a religious visionary, had a vision of the Blessed Virgin who instructed her to search for a heart-shaped island and build a "Shrine of the New Jerusalem" |

| The heart-shaped island turned out to be Matinloc Island |
 |
| The Shrine of the New Jerusalem was eventually built. |
