Tourist spot in the Philippines | The biggest bell in Asia

I want to feature a tourist spot in here in the Philippines that enchant the whole country through out the world. Philippines is circled with many great churches with very rich history of christianity.
In my article I have here the Sta Monica Parish Church which entitle as the national Historic landmark across the archipelago of the Philippines.

I have also included a profile of Sta Monica Parish Church as one of the major tourist spot attraction in Capiz and also in the Philippines
Sta. Monica Parish Church stands as a reminder of the First Christian Faith in the island. In 1566, Fr. Martin de Rada, O.S.A was the first to proclaim the Gospel in the island of panay at the riverbank of Bamban (now known as the town of Panay). Now, Panay is known as the Heritage Capital of Capiz because of the rich history and the deep culture it owns. Sta. Monica Parish Church is a 3 century-old church which homes the biggest bell in Asia. The bell was cast in 1878 from 70 sacks of coins, 7 ft. wide by 7 ft high, weigh of 10,400 kilograms (10.4 tons). Sta. Monica Parish Church is internationally renowned Parish Church, declared a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Institute, and a National Cultural Treasure in 2004 by the National Commission on Culture and the Arts.
here I have a website that is made by hercor college students that result to be their requirement for completion their course.
