Model#29&30Low-Poly with open interior] Officially,the 'Redemptorist' Fathers had turned over this church to the Diocese of Bacolod last Feb.This Architectural landmark was built last 1961,on land donated by the late statesman and tycoon Alfredo Montelibano Sr.The tall,but fluently Hiligaynon-speaking Irish priests were well-loved all around the island,and their strict and uncompromising ways cemented their integrity upon the eyes of my fellow islanders in those dark days.It culminated in their social work against the Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos,in organizing the poor folk-and their incarceration and harrasment,the 'Negros Nine'-accused of ambushing former Kabankalan Mayor Sola;Fr Brian Gore with Columbian Fr. Neil O Brian.Though gone,the memory of those who were that church's soul still lives amongst Negrenses and their voices whisper through time in the stillness of its walls.I love its silence on weekdays when I visit to pray,we played on the grounds as kids there after classes in San Agustin.More on my our website later -Interviewed:Mr. Isidro Grantosaworked there since it was built]-Modelling Notes:0.8hrs+1.3hrs:St Mary'sMonastery,Subject Photography:2/25/2009;no textures for areas obscured by walls and trees]---too late to add interior,as this was already approved--never expected the Lupit Church with interior to be well-accepted,thank you all--jc #Bacolod #Church #jcgayeng #Negros #Negros_Occidental #Philippines #Redemptorist #Redemptorist_Church #Visayas
