SACRED HEART OF JESUS (ROXAS CITY, PUEBLO DE PANAY)

Image
INFO: The  Sacred Heart of Jesus  is a giant statue of  Jesus Christ  in  Roxas, Capiz  in the  Philippines . The 132-foot (40 m) monument, said to be the tallest of its kind in the Philippines, was built in 2015 within the  Pueblo de Panay   mixed-use development . Occupying a hilltop location about 1.5km from the bus terminal is this enormous new statue of Jesus. The builders claim it's 132ft tall, but this is highly debatable! Originally the hands were supposed to be outstretched in welcome, but the sculptor made them vertical for technical reasons, creating an "I surrender" look. You can climb inside to the top. The site offers great views of the region, including the many fishponds that go unseen at sea level. LOCATION: PUEBLO PANAY ROXAS CITY CAPIZ FOR MORE INFO. PLS VISIT:
