Docking at Matinloc Island |
|
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. |

They made it! |

Underneath the shrine is a small "museum" narrating the story of why a shrine was built there. |
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. |
