Quiapo and Binondo Church

There is no better testimony of the Philippines' long tradition of Christianity and religious piety than the abundance of churches in the country.

These churches are in Manila and are only a jeepney ride away from each other.

Speaking of jeepneys, here's how it looks like:


Jeepneys are the backbone of the country's transportation system. Fashioned from US military jeeps that were in abundance after WWII, the ingenious Filipino turned them into vehicles that can seat more than 20 people. Jeepneys ply every street, road and avenue of Manila. It's a cheaper alternative to taxis. Riding one is an experience not to be missed.
