[edit] Description
The biggest Marian image stood as if on a hill. The bronze chose by Sculptress Virginia Ty Navarro as the basic medium for the outdoor figure, to add greater size.

This represents her strenght, permanence and resolve, counterpart of her older softer attributes.

These are Architect Francisco Mañosa who handled for overall architectural design; sculptor Napoleon Abueva who executed the main altar and Stations of the Cross; the Angono Artist Atelier, painted the wall murals; sculptor Ramon Orlina, who did the tabernacle and the figure of the Risen Christ on the Altar; sculptor Maximo Vicente made the statue of San Lorenzo Ruiz; and Ed Castrillo who designed the monstrance at the Perpetual Adoration Chapel.
