In Ilocos Sur doing field work for a project our Center was implementing for JICA and DOTC, we had some time between inspections and surveys to go around the town of Bantay and the City of Vigan. Bantay was located along the national highway and so was very accessible from our station at the Bulag Elementary School. Following are a few scanned photos of the San Agustin Parish Church in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, which is also the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity (Nuestra Señora de la Caridad). The dates on the photos are erroneous as I was not able to set the date and time of my old Pentax camera. The photos were taken sometime in August 2004, during our series of surveys to the north that included setting up stations in Pulilan (Bulacan), Lubao (Pampanga), Tarlac (Tarlac), Urdaneta (Pangasinan), Baguio (Benguet), Bauang (La Union), and Vigan/Bantay (Ilocos Sur).
