| Padre Pio, Inside the Church |
TRAVEL - Saint Padre Pio Shrine is part of Santo Tomas, Batangas. This is the disadvantage of travelling with an own vehicle, you will not be able to know the place and the road you passed on. Unlike when you commute you can talk to people, ask directions and be familiar in the beautiful places. 
I am the only christian in our family but i'm still fond of catholic shrines. When we arrived in the place i was so fascinated with the church architectural design and its structure. The buildings are made of bamboo, awesome!
They remained the place holy and a sleeveless shirt is not allowed inside the church. Like in my case, i stayed and just listen in the mass from outside.
The store inside the shrine is well organized and complete in all items from souvenirs, candles, holy water, rosary and everything.

| Lighting prayer candles |
Many students who will be taking board exam are visiting the place to light a candle for good luck. The candles are in different colors and each have their own meaning / significant purpose prayer. I tried.
Inside the Sanctuary is a jars and a fountain of holy water. The holy water is unlimited and free.
There's also a pasalubong and refreshment store in the place. Actually there are still many booth and vendors just outside/down the shrine. The day we visited there just few people and some visitors like us in the place but they said it is full of people every Sunday.
"I pray the holiness of Padre Pio shrine will not vanish in the heart and mindset of visitors and believers."
