Considering Quiapo Church is in one of the busiest section of Manila, and it is the busiest when it comes to the devotees, the church remains well restored and maintained. It has preserved its' ambience of solemnity where churchgoers find solace and peace... More

the church is very crowded, people outside are selling different items for religious purposes and otherwise, if you'll visit, just be careful of your valuables, this place is crawling with pickpockets and similar characters both inside and outside the church. More
