ST. LOUISE BISHOP OF TOULOUSE CHURCH

This church that was built with lime and cement will surely have you glancing twice when you pass by. The uneven tone and the intricately designed arches and sculptures of the facade  are evidence that it was built in a different era here in the Philippines. Moss and tiny plants growing into its walls only added to the charm of this church. The present church is the fourth that was constructed in this area, with the first three ruined in fire. It was completed in 1738.

SWOT ANALYSISStrengths : The good climate that make Lucban

the summer capital in Quezon as the tourists bound the attractions capability. It is different escapade when it comes to religious entity because of well-known Kamay Ni Hesus that is rarely found.

Weaknesses: In general, some of the

unappealing flaws is the Lucban area is the limited slots of roads or small passages in that small city. Because of the old churches it can’t be maintain due to the Spanish era structure and can be modernized soon.

Opportunities: Because of the Spanish

influenced trade mark of Lucban many tourist are willing to take a plunge on it’s surroundings like some of it’s private ancestral houses that is located in Lucban. Otherwise, it is a great impact on making Lucban as also a spiritual municipality that aim to conduct solemnity.

Threats : If it’s own municipality cannot

maintain the religious view of the churches it can be abandoned in time purpose. It’s history and accommodating resemblance from the past is cognitive if it’s not observed properly it will stoked in muteness. The people or tourist will create a bad feedback about it.

ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATION

Lucban Quezon is widely known in co-existence of Pahiyas Festival during May it is a culture that involves several events associated by thousands of tourist all over the country as their tourism industry ranges in the bigger scale therefore the Lucban officials should have more ideas regarding social events to gather more invites.

One of the oldest church here in Quezon is the St. Louis Church but it’s structure must signify it’s character of ancestry and should be constructed to maintain it’s high omniscient tone which includes walls and entrance gate. Moreover, regarding the transportation on how to get there, in commuting proper there should be other modes other than of jeep to please the visitors while they’re taking a glimpse of the town.

To inform some of the clients there should be a suggested plan of guide slip that will serve as a reference about the famous food chain, cultural spots, historical places and allowing them to have a short knowledge when it comes to the place they are willing to strike.

In about 30 minute ride from Lucban town you will reach this famous religious attraction. I wasn’t really excited about going there at first and making our heritage program but it is another story when I set foot in Kamay Ni Hesus. It’s definitely not my first time to see long flight of stairs leading to the top of the hill where gigantic image of Jesus Christ is erected. What I don’t expect is the nature feel of the place because I’m a hardcore nature lover plus vicinity of the churches. It makes someone in the mood for deeper spirituality. Our visit may have been ephemeral but the church’s enigma transcend beyond our memories. –Donnavic Tizon

Our trip to Lucban is half amazing and half challenging because, at the first place, we really don’t have the idea where in Lucban are we going. We don’t know who to ask and we end up asking each other which obviously none of us knows where to go first. But of course, we still managed to get our feet in the municipal hall wherein another challenge awaits which is to face and pull a nerve to ask the municipality officials and staffs but it’s fun actually. It’s amazing because aside from the beautiful sceneries along with it’s atmospheric breeze. It’s people are hospitable Though it’s pretty tiring we still enjoyed the tour. I had a full blast package. –Cattleya Cordero

Reactions

Our tour is a bit tiring but fun. We faced municipal staffs which is challenging for students like us. But the end of the day we managed to finish what we came for in Lucban. It’s one of the compulsory travel I looked forward because of it’s unique locality that engaged by so many tourist and residences. I personally like the experience having great memories with peers and the people in Lucban. –Kyoko Kobayashi

I learned to interact with people there and I knew the history of the town and the fact that Lucban’s name derived from pomelo fruit and the famous food trend there are longganisang lucban and pansit habhab and I found out that spring festival celebrated every 15th of may in honour of the patron saint of farmers. All in all, it was a great experience even if it’s just one day of fun and learning. –Marianne Precilla

Travelling from one place to another is one of my favourite activity so when I heard about our mini tour in Lucban regarding our heritage program, it seems it’s another day to remember. It’s a matter of teamwork and unity in this kind of arrangement. All of us are willing to experience other place with great sceneries and spots. I had a real good time. –Ibeya Gayle Oriondo

Since I’m not that familiar in such place like Lucban I find it difficult to suggest such things like where to go and stuffs like that. I enjoy taking a look in the popular Jesus Christ shrine that is erected in the hill. Aside from visiting places and observing their customs I simply enjoy walking in stiffs road and embracing the good climate there. –Rennika Panganiban
