ST. VINCENT FERRER STATUE – A statue of Saint Vincent Ferrer standing over 50 meters set a new world record for the tallest bamboo sculpture last April 5.
Back in 2018, Calasiao, Pagasinan broke a world record by creating the worlds largest ‘rice cake’ or ‘puto’ mosaic. Read more about the interesting record here.
The formal announcement was made on the night of April 5, 2019. Brought by adjudicator Swapnil Dangarikar, the great news spread quickly and made the people of Bayambangueños feel proud and extremely happy.
This is the same reason why they are so happy during the 405th founding anniversary also the 400th year of Saint Vincent Parish (from 1619 – 2019).
The day was also the commemoration of the 600th death anniversary of the saint who was also referred to as the ‘pastor of builders’.
The enormous bamboo sculpture was initially made with steel frame and then coated with structured bamboo covers. It was also reported that it took 600 people and 10 months to finish the gigantic sculpture.
Even Dangarikar was amazed by the size of the sculpture. He apparently said that he already expected to see a big sculpture but he did not imagine that it would be “…huge and beautifully built.”
It was also said that the sculptures ‘right hand’ already weighed a ton. Which is why careful planning should be considered to ensure perfection and avoid accidents.
The planning of site development and detailed design was by JQS builders. Headed by Architect Jerry Suratos, Engineer Aaron Villafuerte and Jericho Roble, the designing of the sculpture was aided by 3D polygon technology.
One cannot help but feel blessed when standing beneath the feet of Ayat ni Apo Jesus, a 40-foot tall statue of Jesus Christ perched on a hilltop that overlooks the low-lying plains of eastern Pangasinan. It is a replica of Brazil’s iconic Christ the Redeemer, whose outstretched arms give context to this landmark’s local name, which literally translates to God’s love. Accessed from Natividad Sky Plaza's view deck, visitors must climb a concrete stairway and hike on a winding dirt trail to reach this pilgrimage site. On the way to the summit, there are two other attractions: a grotto of the Virgin Mary and a 30-foot Holy Cross.

Meet my super cute and jolly nephew!.He loves reciting the alphabet and also singing the "Bahay Kubo".He is so excited to go to school but due to this quarantine,he can't go to school yet.We find time to teach him to write and color,but as a child he also love playing..
Battles happen anytime in our life.They could be just past the street or around the corner.Might be tomorrow or next month and years.They may come with or without notice.But they are real. The scary thing about it is when these battles are so great that we lose courage to face them. His just,y'know,beyond our control;beyond our capacity to fight.
So what we can do as what king Jehoshaphat did.When he was alarmed he went to the Lord and asked for help.(2 Chronicles 20)?
My encouragement for us:
God knows our fears.He know what makes us anxious.He knows what make us feel defeated.And He knows how to fight our battles.He always win.Go to Him right now.And see His deliverance.❤
My prayer:
Father,I pray that we may learn to put our trust in you.Especially during times when our lives is overwhelmed with struggles and big problems.We believe that we can make it with you.Because You are our deliverer.Amen.
In the midst of the crisis,let us be the ones who will spread faith and peace to our families by sharing the gospel.If we can minister to other students,I'm sure that we can also minister to our own families.?
