Description

i consider paete church as pakil's elder sibling. both of them look aged (though santiago's more ancient looking), are in the same golden tones, covered with superb carving, located in two adjacent towns (in fact pakil was once considered part of paete) but are unique in their ways.

paete church looks more compact. inside, there seems to be a fear of space. interestingly old paintings are hanged on the ways, there are statues here and there and the colors are real dark. even the tall windows are seemingly too narrow to give enough light. but i like it anyway.

this is my best shot of paete church. i believe it was an injustice, considering that the sky had cooperated at that time of the day (nice colors in images of pakil, paete, lumban and pagsanjan churches). i wouldn't want to think that it's going to be the last time i'll come to paete since i haven't taken a good shot of it yet. and i haven't bought any of the carved souvenirs its residents make.
