I. Point and Shoot
A. Business Area
La Paz Public Market





The following pictures above are the scenes that can be found in La Paz Public Market. The pictures presents the following  "PURE FILIPINO CULTURE" which is early morning market or "pamamalengke" in tagalog term. The Filipino are also fond of creating a small business for them to earn money for a living. "Pamamalengke" or marketing has been a part of the lifestyle of many filipinos since the early days and up to know it is still the same. The rich cultures of filipinos are still being preserved.

B. Place of Worship

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Jalandoni Chapel)




The following are the pictures of the physical structure and as well the chapel itself of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints or also known as ‘Mormons’. The Chapel is located at Jalandoni La Paz, near Fine Rock Hotel. The building caters Sunday services and other activities.  The following pictures reveals and reflects that the Filipino people are indeed religious and it also says that most of the Filipinos are Christian and believes and have faith to our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. 

C. Tourist Spot

Janiuay Cemetery

The Octagonal Chapel at the Cemetery



Along the highway connecting Janiuay to the neighboring town of Mina is a cemetery built on a slope. Described at the time it was finished as “the most artistic in the whole country” the builder of this cemetery was Fr. Fernando de Llorente who commenced work in 1874 and completed the whole project after nine years. The archbishop of Manila, Pedro Payo, blessed the cemetery.
Three stairways lead to the three gates of the cemetery, built on a high ground and shored up by a retaining wall. The wall has niches in which 16 six-foot stone santos were enshrined. The cemetery perimeter is surrounded by a brick and wrought iron fence and near this gate stood a Byzantine stone cross. The cross and some statues are missing.

On the same axis as the main gate is an octagonal mortuary chapel, covered by a pointed dome roof. The roof has been replaced by nondescript pyramidal roof. Despite the obvious degradation of the chapel, the Gothic features that remain are still stunning–the windows pierced by delicate stone tracery, the spires rising at the eight points of the octagonal building.

Janiuay Church





Located on a hill overlooking the town plaza, the ruins of the Neoclassic Church of Janiuay stands overshadowing the newer one.
The old Church of Janiuay was once a grand neoclassic church with byzantine elements. Clean bricks and yellowish limestones were used to construct this beautiful house of worsip. The Janiuay Catholic Church was built in February 1770.
Its belfry used to carry three magnificent bells, the largest weighing close to a ton. Finished in the late 1800's the church of Janiuay suffered the torments of war in World War II. WWII damaged the belfry, and the bells were lowered to ground after the war. The largest bell crashed down during the relocation and suffered a crack 18 inches (460 mm) in length from its lip upwards. When sounded it gives a distinct baritone rattling sound that can be heard for miles. It is now mounted in the new church's belfry built in the late 60s. In the regime of the Japanese occupation, the Church was burned and the bricks from the ruins were used to construct the Japanese's Tiring Landing Field, now the New Iloilo Airport in Cabatuan.

 
II. Meet My World



This picture was taken at the La Paz Chapel of The Church Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We interviewed one of the missionary which is Elder Workman a locale of the state of Utah in America. He is currently serving a full time mission for two years here in the Philippines together with Elder Buluran. He discussed to us the following culture in their community, home, school, and in church. He also told us about their laws and the police system there. He is a very kind man who is willing to share his thoughts to us.

Transcribed Interview

Hannah: Hello Elder Workman, I am Hannah Diaz a 3rd year student of Bachelor of Hotel and Restaurant Management in WVSU. I was tasked to interview you and ask following questions pertaining to your culture and worldview, I am doing this because this is our requirement for our subject in Cultural Anthropology.  So is it ok?
Elder Workman: Sure it’s ok.
H: Thank you, Ok let’s start. First, Can you tell me about a brief explanation of your culture back in Utah?
E: Well, we do have a lot of culture back there, like here in the Philippines. In Utah, most of the people are really patriotic and we really follow the rules and laws, because if we don’t we’ll be dead. Haha! It is very important to be patriotic and to follow the rules in our community.  Also, we celebrate the fourth of July (Independence Day) which is a very important event in our country. We do have parades back there and that kind of stuffs, but we do not have fiestas. And holidays are not that important, holidays are like usual days there, we still do have class and work. Ok, what else? Taxes are really important because the portion of it is given to those who are homeless.
H: OK. How about in your home? What are your culture and as well as the family’s culture?
E: We are far away from our relatives, unlike here in the Philippines, most of the time the grandparents are still living in the same house with the children. Its different back there, our culture is, if someone got married they should move out to their house and start a new life. And also to those who are old enough and do have jobs can move out to another house. And an average family in Utah has two cars, but here in the Philippines, if a family has like two cars, they must be really rich, right? Our family has four cars, one for my sister, for my parents, for me and for my brother I’m not saying that we are really rich because it’s normal there. And  we don’t usually eat together; but dinner is an exception, my dad always cooks for dinner (like a real chef) but if its lunch, most of the time we go out and eat in fast foods or we just buy frozen food and microwave it. Our family is quite close, we go to church together and we also enjoy each other’s company.  
H: That’s really interesting to know. Ok, so, what about in school or the education in Utah?
E: A school is a law, it is really required to go to school, that is our culture there. Our educational system is really different from here; we have Grade school, Middle school and High school. Public schools have no uniforms and Private schools do have. Most of the kids in high school have cars, because as what I have said a while ago, it is normal. After high school usually we work and, others enter in to college but it’s really expensive so others just choose to get a job after high school. The government supports those who want to go to college by giving them loans. 
H: What else can you discuss elder?
E: Usually in Utah, a house is more expensive than a car that is why it's more easy to have  lots  of cars back there rather than having lots of house and eryone in Utah have internet access or connections in their home so it's easy to have a connection to everyone. Police are really strict there, they have police cars and police motorcycles, and they always give tickets to those who do not follow the traffic rules. I already had 6 tickets and I do not have my license right now. haha! And yeah, everyone has debit or credit cards so that whenever we buy thing we just swipe our crads.
H: Haha! Thank you eleder for sharing the practices and culture in your state. I guess this is enough,I can now put this on our blog. Thank you very much again.
E: Ok. your'e welcome.
