The parish did some make over to the ruins converting it grounds and vicinity into a promenade garden. I noticed immediately the flowery garden righter after we alighted the jeepney. There’s a bronze statue outside the garden facing the main road. What is left indicates that the church was conceived as a Neoclassical structure with engaged columns and pilasters of coral stone alternating with clean brick walls ornamented by arched opening.
