Calumpit Church Becomes a Giant Cake


Renovation gone awry? Or this just reflects the parishioners' tacky taste? What ever happened to any sense of historical and architectural preservation? Doesn't the NCCA or the Catholic church have any guidelines on
 this?



FB photos by Calumpit resident Eliseo Dela Cruz who pointed this eyesore out:
Simbahan ng Calumpit, ano ang nangyari sa'yo?
400 years ka ng mahigit pero batang bata ka na ngayon. Kesong sad :( Save Calumpit Church.  Nawa huwag tayong husgahan ng kasaysayan sa ating panahon. 

Holy hostia na hawflakes, Batman! The Simbahan ng Calumpit in crazy peach and delicious frosting. Who's been huffing on the paint? Was this a case of whoever pays the renovation bills gets dibbs on choosing the colors? 





The Simbahan ng Calumpit is over 400 years old. See those gorgeous adobe stone walls? No need to cover them up in paint, they look awesome the way they are.

Can the damage be undone? :( Well, let's say goodbye to another beautiful historical landmark.
