Representing the American Commonwealth Period (1898 - 1946) with the "Iria de Covia" statue replica from Fatima, Portugal in the b/g.

This picture represents architecture (Fatima Church), art ("Iria de Covia" - a copy of the original sculpture in Fatima, Portugal
depicting the Angel of Peace and the three visionaries of Our Lady of Fatima), faith (scene taken at the annual church fiesta),
lush vegetation (the PH is mainly an agricultural country), weather extremes (1st typhoon to hit the country arrived that
very day!), and its animatedly happy people in a colorful national costumes.

THE quintessential CARINOZA picture (for now, at least) that reflects my overall vision in promoting this beautiful country ...!

[ ... and uh, Danny - no smug comments about 'PH women putting the men on a
pedestal' and other such ek ek talk please. Ikaw pala 'yan, ha ...!!! he he he]
