via Philippine Inquirer, 18 May 2021: An 18th-century church in Bohol is finally restored after it was severely damaged from the 2013 earthquake.
Marites Jala was emotional when she attended Mass at this town’s historic church on Sunday.
“The church really looks like the original,” said the 46-year-old resident of Barangay Villaflor of this municipality in Bohol province, as she gazed upon the majestic ceiling paintings of the San Pedro Apostol Parish Church, popularly known as the Loboc church.
Jala and the people of Loboc patiently waited for the day that they could attend Mass again inside the centuries-old church, which was severely damaged by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that hit Bohol on Oct. 15, 2013.
