Why Simala Shrine is an important Church in Cebu:

The Philippines is a devoutly Roman Catholic Country, and for the faithful, Simala Church has been a sacred place of pilgrimage since 1988, after a miracle was witnessed here.

A replica statue of the Virgin Mary was seen crying, and shedding tears of blood on her birthday, 8 September. This is why the Church gained the name “Miraculous Mama Mary Church”.

Simala Church was built by the congregation of the Marian Monks of Eucharist Adoration in 1998 to house an image of the Virgin Mary known as The Marian Shrine. The image was brought here by the Monks from Pampanga, and during the height of a dengue fever epidemic that killed many people in the local community, stories of miracles were told. When worshippers heard the Blessed Virgin Mary had shed tears, the Church became a pilgrim site for the devoted wishing to see the miraculous Mama Mary image, and to grant their prayers.

Philippines Traits & Values of Filipino

Values, Traits and Gestures in the Philippines Filipinos are known for being hospitable, but it’s not only the positive trait that Filipinos possess. Having been colonized by various countries, the Philippine culture, in effect, is mixed with Asian and Western influences. Thus, the Philippine culture is diverse and can be reflected in our traits.

How To Get Clear, Flawless And Spotless Skin Using Vaseline

Find out all you need to know about petroleum jelly here, including its uses. 1. Remove eye makeup.  Coat your lids, then gently swab with a tissue. 2. Highlight cheekbones.  Fake a model's bone structure by patting and blending a tiny amount across cheekbones. The shine attracts light and creates a contoured effect. 3. Gloss your lips.  Add red food dye -- or tastier cherry Kool-Aid powder -- to a dab of petroleum jelly for instant lip color. 4. Get an even tan.  Dry skin tends to soak up excess tanning lotion, leaving skin splotchy. Smooth on petroleum jelly before using tanning products. 5. Preserve your fragrance.  Dab on pulse points, like your wrists and the sides of your neck, before spritzing on perfume. Your scent will last the entire day. 6. Buff away dry skin.  Combine with brown sugar to concoct an at-home exfoliator. 7. Tame unruly eyebrows.  Dot petroleum jelly on your fingertip or a clean mascara wand and sweep across brows in one directio

I Love CUT Salon - Consolacion Branch - Review

I am a very picky person when it comes to service. I want it all. Fair price, good manners, nice environment and people who know what they're doing. I got all of that here and have never been happier with a Brazilian Rebond. My hair came out absolutely amazing. Eugene was pleasant and professional and did exactly what I wanted.  I would highly recommend him to everyone. No one else is allowed to touch my hair now and I wouldn't be caught at another salon. The IloveCUT Salon  team in Consolacion, Cebu is amazing. Excellent customer service very focused on costumer. Clean products and professional people. Highly recommended. Located in Consolacion. The CUT Salon is in facing FOODA. Look for EUGENE he's the one who rebonds my hair. Location Before After I will update after 1 month Price: 2,000  The year 2017
