More than 1,500 persons, who rushed to the church for safety, perished as volcanic rocks and molten lava enveloped the town and the surrounding areas. The ruins of Cagsawa had been converted into a national park, which is one of the main attractions in the province today. YYYImage type: Reproduction: PhotographMedia format: With prints
