Just in case you'd be interested

The work being done in the interior of the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral is almost complete. Here are some pictures I managed to take this morning. My apologies for the picture quality, it's my phone camera again.

The work being done is part of the preparations for the Centenary of the Diocese on Calbayog which will be celebrated on April 10, 2010.

The interior of the Cathedral minus the scaffolding.

The altar area cleared of the bamboo scaffolding. The bamboos on the left are for the finishing touches being done on the Bishop's canopy.

"Home at last?" That's the line that came to mind upon seeing the old silver-colored tabernacle - the one which many generations of Calbayognons get to see as the monumento during Holy Thursday. From the looks of it, this antique piece is going to replace the small gold colored tabernacle which many of us "grew up with".

The retablo without the scaffolding. On the left side is the Bishop's canopy on which some finishing touches are being done.
