INTERESTING CEMETERIES IN THE PHILIPPINES

SUNKEN CEMETERY, CAMIGUIN

During the volcanic birth of Mt. Vulcan lasting from 1871 to about 1875, some areas in the town of Bonbon subsided, sinking the cemetery of the town to below sea level. The place is commemorated by a huge cross erected in 1982.

CAR-CAR CHURCH, CEBU


Like most old churches in the country, one can find many tombs of notable people of the town inside Carcar Church. Creepy as it may sound but it has been the practice especially for those individuals and their families who contributed greatly to the church through it’s construction or donated something for the church’s use.the tombstones located at various columns, walls and flooring, I noticed that many have been interred or transferred during the American colonial period. It also seemed that this practice was continued into the late 20th century with one consisting of the bones of three individuals including a wife who died in 1987.
