MORE lights up Molo Church and Plaza

Ana Parish Church, popularly known as Molo Church, majestically glowed during the official lighting ceremony! The anticipated formalities came minutes before the heavy downpour!

The Lighting Event was the piece de resistance of the program that included the Turnover Ceremony of the Completed Project for Molo Plaza by Dr. Rene R. Escalante, Chair of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), and the Ceremonial Signing and Acceptance by Mayor Jerry P. Treñas of Iloilo City.
