A sacred monument built in 1982 to honor the blessed virgin Mary. Matinloc is a local term for beautiful boast of the two spectacular snorkeling areas kalmung point and kulasa beach. According to our guide the story behind the shrine a name Guadalupe Yabes a religious visionary had a vision of blessed virgin who instructed her to search for a heart shape island and to build a shrine and in an aerial view you can see a heart shape island and that's it, that's the start of building the shrine, it all started in a vision umm quite interesting huh..Matinloc shrine was part of the tour C package,according to Mr.tour guide matinloc shrine holds catholic festival (feast day)of our lady of matinloc shrine every month of May for nearby island and locals joined to celebrate the feast.But for some reason and issue to a local government the festival celebration stop we asked our guide why and he answered there are some legality issue about building the shrine without permit from the local government thats why the shrine somewhat run down and abandoned (sayang naman). when we were here we never had the chance to see the inner part of the house because our guide told us that there's a lot of mosquitoes inside and broken glass scattered (nanakot pa si kuya).OK OK we end up taking pictures nalang.
we were exploring the place everyone had their own direction :P but
wait see the two ladies in front?x and Camille were chatting...
Camille: i saw a boy inside the house
x: huh don't you dare to make fun of me
Camille: insisted no i saw a boy inside wearing like an altar boy
he was wearing long white dress like a sacristan(altar boy)
he was playing inside
x: a bit scared
kuya guide : theres no one here only us...
Camille: remained in silent confused and scared
(this maybe one creepy experience of Camille)
