INTERESTING FEATURE: Also of note is the editorial which discusses the archeological diggings around the church of Sta. Ana and the small museum annexed to the church displaying the finds from this excavation. When I last visited the church of Sta. Ana in 1997, all traces of the archeological excavations was gone. The people in the church office were not aware that there ever was any archeological expeditions conducted under and/or around the church edifice! And the church museum... GONE together wilth all of its contents!
