- MijnlieverdFHNorth Holland Province, The Netherlands4,206 contributionsThe church looks old but that gives the beauty and the identity of the era it was erected.
The facade gives the baroque impression of a design. the interior is equally nice and well kept. Not big but it is enough for the residents around.Written July 27, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- doctorfoxtrotTaguig City, Philippines7,818 contributionsThis is one of the few churches offering daily religious mass. Lots of people peddling candles , prayer books and several paraphernalia just outside. Noticeable is the huge number of devotees or those seeking a wish fulfilment particularly students taking an entrance or board exam.Written February 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Czar EmmanuelManila, Philippines6,120 contributionsI'm from Tondo and since my childhood days I have been visiting this church. I can say that many things have changed with it. The interior looks much better, with frescoes on its walls and ceiling. However, the exterior needs a major clean-up. Besides, the construction of a canopy in front of its main entrance has greatly modified its original architecture. The putting up of balustrade has also made it look smaller and a bit cramped. Not to my liking, I should say. The street that used to pass in front of the church is gone with the extension of the plaza opposite to it. Anyway, this parish has a long history, dating back to the time of the early Augustinian missionaries in the 16th century. Fray Martin de Rada (an Augustinian) supposedly converted Lakandula who dwelt in the area. However, the actual church dates back only to the second half of the 19th century. It is a very active parish, with millions of devotees visiting it especially during the feast of the Sto. Niño de Tondo on the third Sunday of January each year.Written January 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Central UMC Manila is know to welcome Christians visiting Manila from various corners of the country and from abroad.

One of the old church in Manila which began as a simple wood and straw hut before 1574 CE. Its modern structure was built around 1588. Destroyed by the British during their foray to the Philippines. The structure now was built in 1933 with the approved design by Julio Nakpil. It was around lunch time presently despite the CV19 pandemic limited masses are now allowed. The faithful fills the interior and exteriors of the basilica. Pls take note that the safety personnel are enforcing CV 19 protocols. On the outside various stall sell religious (and not so religious) items mostly is filled with people (oops CV19) so please be careful and be aware of your surroundings. This place gets filled up during the feast of the black Nazarene on January of every year. Unfortunately, the remains of Gen Luna was transferred out to an unknown area. The search continues. #RPWritten December 8, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- NDGM90Lutherville, MD676 contributionsThis is one of the "twin" churches in Manila. The church doesn't look too big form the outside.
