This place is not only for the adventure seekers, selfie junkies, the orophiles and thallasophiles, this is also a place for Catholic pilgrims. San Francisco Javier Shrine in Hanginan, believed to be a miraculous pilgrimage site is an uphill hike, 400 meters above sea level. It's about an hour or more uphill hike of Hanginan trail with awe-inspring scenery and spiritual feels of the mountain. [Sorry but I don't have a photo to share with you since my last visit here was during my college years when android cellphones are non existent. Now you're calculating my age! Hahah...] Aside from Hanginan, pilgrims and Marian devotees can also climb up the Mama Mary Shrine in the city of Maasin. It is a 300 steps ascending. It has a huge Mama Mary statue and a place to offer prayers. You can have the panoramic view of the city.
