I will be going with friends who were commissioned by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) to conduct photo-documentation of Catholic Churches in Western Visayas. Today will be the start for the Negros Occidental leg which will end on Monday, December 1.
I know it will be a grueling three days considering the distance to be covered but I don’t mind. This is a rare opportunity to visit all the municipalities and cities of Negros Occidental.
