Manila Cathedral , interior
The cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Manila located in Intramuros, the historic walled city within today's modern city of Manila, Philippines. It is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the patroness of the country.
The cathedral was damaged and destroyed several times since the original structure was built in 1581 while the eighth and current structure of the cathedral was completed in 1958.
The cathedral is built in the Neo-Romanesque architecture style in a Latin cross layout, the northwest façade is a replica of the façade of the previous cathedral, along with statues of famous saints.
The artistic designs of the stained glass windows of the Manila Cathedral are mostly products of the creative genius of Ocampo, one of the most versatile contemporary Filipino artists during his time and a recipient of the 1964 Patnubay ng Sining at Kalinangan Award from the city government of Manila

In Manila cemeteries, families honor their loved ones by repainting graves—often before Undas, the Day of the Dead. This tradition reflects care, remembrance, and respect. Bright colors or white limewash are used to clean, protect, and personalize tombs, showing the dead are not forgotten. It’s a heartfelt ritual passed down through generations.
