Heaven's Delight

Our Lady of the Abandoned Parish, Marikina

Situated in the heart of Marikina, OUR LADY OF THE ABANDONED PARISH also known as  Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados    serves as a home and prayer-house for many Catholics in the city. It is considered a miraculous spot in Marikina, so as the other churches situated here. it is believed that during World War II, there came a time when the Japanese bombarded Marikina and a bomb fell at the bell tower of the church but it didn't explode. That marked its day as a miraculous and sacred haven for Catholic worshippers.


The  entirety of the church will struck you with awe. Adorned in many figures and images of Mary and other saints, it is sure to be a home of rich faith and culture.


After every mass, there are many food hubs a church-goer can choose from. The Marikina Market, just a walk away from the church,

offers a  variety of food selection.  It also is not going to be a burden to get inside for it is the only market in the Philippines that does not emit foul odor (well, as far as i know, based on my own observation in many markets in Manila.) . It is also the only market in the Philippines where customers can actually get their car inside worry-less.

If you are craving for authentic food and service, you need not to walk miles, or ride a jeep. you just have to pass the pedestrian lane from the church and voila! You're in Cafe Kapitan!
Kapitan Moy, the center of culture in Marikina. Below is where the Cafe Kapitan  situated.






Here they serve Italian and French Cuisines and some Filipino dishes.





There are still so much to crave for in Marikina. I just posted some of its specialities. Want to spoil yourself more? Get hooked with Us! :)
