Top Reasons To Visit Visayas
Bogo BBQ Plaza
The plaza opened its doors to the public last September of 2012. It is a chilly place that is good for hanging out with friends or bonding with families. It is also a much cozier version of the famous Larsian. There are different food options in the plaza. In fact, many barbeque vendors have their stalls to showcase their best-selling and crowd favorite goods.
The plaza is also located near a pier or a sea transportation hub: making it very convenient for travelers to relax a bit before or after a long trip. The combination of the cool breeze from the shore and the smell of the barbeque grills makes the place perfect.
Our Lady of Remedios Church (Odlot Church)
This church is nestled in the quiet yet scenic town of Odlot, Bogo. People have considered Odlot as a place of miracles since the enshrinement of the three images of the Virgin Mary. It is just a 4-kilometer drive from the City proper. The locals’ devotion in the area to our Lady of Remedios has grown steadily over the years.
Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
The Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is where you can find the statue of the Virgin Mary on the top of a hill in Brgy. La Paz, Bogo City. Before you reach the shrine, you will have to walk or climb 163-step stairs. If not able to climb that high as it’s quite a climb, you may also ride a habal-habal or a motorcycle to reach the shrine in a different route.
Virgin Mary’s birthday every September 8 of the year is celebrated through a procession from St. Vincent Ferrer church to the shrine; a holy mass is also conducted afterward.
