Visiting Bacolor’s Lahar and Pampanga’s Crafts
TV actor Rayver Cruz joins Your

location shooting of "May Bukas Pa"
inside San Guillermor Church in Bacolor,
Pampanga.
It was a pleasant drive to a visit to Pampanga which was known almost two decades ago to have been partly lost in the map as some of its towns like Bacolor and Mabalacat were devastated horribly as the towns were covered by the lahar powder that erupted out of Mt. Pinatubo.
But as we visited the town of Bacolor, it seems nothing has really occurred and now has recovered from the monstrous disaster it has faced. Bacolor town could now be seen as a normal town and houses, stores and business are back in shape.
But one significant landmark remains to maintain the memories of the horrible lahar as the San Guillermo Parish Church still stand proudly with only half of the big church remaining. The lahar powder has remained as the ground base of Bacolor town and we entered the San Guillermo Church as if nothing happened.

The church is being used as a location shooting of television shows when we visited the Church of God. From San Guillermo, we also visited other landmarks and a stopover at the woodworks of Pampanga skilled workers amazed us with their craftsmanship.
Indeed, with God’s guiding hands, Bacolor, Mabalacat and the rest of Pampanga is back in shape forgetting the disaster it had faced.
