Dear Fr. Luga,
I am Hazel Dizon and a researcher for Ortigas Foundation, inc. The foundation is doing a photo exhibit on Philippine Churches this May 2009 and the Church of Our Lady of the Pillar is one of them. A history of each churches is needed for the caption. I am stumped with your church. I can't find any historical account of it. I hope you can help the foundation by giving me a brief history of the church, when it was built, who built it, significant events related to the church, etc. You can also refer me to resource materials that has accounts of your church. We want the accounts to be scholastic for a lot of our patrons are history enthusiasts.
That's all Father Luga and I hope you'll grant our request.
Thank you
Respectfully.
Hazel Dizon
