Churches in the Polillo Group of Islands

              Aside from island hopping, our weekend trip to the Polillo group of islands led us to visit four towns and parish churches: Real, which is the jump off point, Polillo, Burdeos and Patnanungan. They all belong to the Prelature of Infanta.

I noticed that the altar in Polillo has undergone some enhancements since my first visit to the church in 2018. Two niches have been added on either side of the crucifix on the main altar.
