Divine Mercy Shrine (El Salvador)


Divine Mercy Shrine is located in Divine Mercy Hills, PSB- Ulaliman which is overlooking Macajalar Bay. It features a 15.24 meter statue of Jesus as the Divine Mercy as the focal point of Divine Mercy Hills, a tract land overlooking Macajalar Bay on the southern island of Mindanao. 



We walk a distance as a penitence for the upcoming Holy week. 


As a holy and sacred site, visitors specially women are not allowed to to wear shorts and other revealing clothing inside the area. Those who do so will be forced to cover themselves with a long skirt provided by the shrine administrator.



As we witness the Divine Mercy Shrine flying rosary balloons it suddenly rain. After the rain had stopped, we witnessed a magical event where there was a beautiful rainbow, not just one but there are two rainbows arching the Jesus Christ statue.

Sagpulon falls( Jasaan Mis. Or)

 Sagpulon falls

The area is already developed before typhoon “Pablo” came and struck the area that caused several damages of the facilities. They turned it into a small resort provided with different facilities like cottages for rent, picnic tables at the minimum price and created a big basin or a man-made mini pools for the tourist who would like to go for swimming.

Since the area is still renovation, we satisfied ourselves with the cold water from the pool and just watched the magnificient view of the falls while eating our food in the cottage.

  • ₱ 40/ person is the entrance fee.
  • private vehicle should be used since the area is far from the main road.
