This church is run by nuns of the Order of Saint Clare of Assisi, commonly known as Poor Clares. (her biography)
Its cream-painted facade marks one of the Spanish-built mission churches here in the Philippines.

What has drawn my attention to this monastery is the unique tradition being observed here. That is, bringing a DOZEN EGGS with your petition and prayers. You can buy them from the mall/groceries but if you weren't able to do so, you can buy them at the sidewalk just outside the monastery's main gate. I never knew why, but people usually visit to pray and ask for a good weather.
I didn't ask for that though. When I went there, I had other special intentions; but I believe that whatever my prayer intentions may be, it will be granted if it's according to God's will and for my own good.
