Pontevedra, Negros Occidental
Part 6 of the Libotero Negros Occidental Heritage Series
From Hinigaran, I took a mini-bus towards the next town up north, Pontevedra. The short trip only cost me the minimum fare of ten pesos.
The town of Pontevedra is a 3rd-class municipality, in terms of income. Based on the latest census, it is home to at least 42,089 people.

Pontevedra’s small and simple green municipal hall-cum-police station blends well with the surroundings. Cool!
Just across the street is the newly renovated St. Michael the Archangel Parish.





One of the prominent features of the church is a sword-carrying gold sculpture of St. Michael on top of the church dome

Clean and modern interiors

Pews

Inside, the church is characterized by an altar adorned with gold and brown carvings

National Highway, Negros Occidental
