First stop, KAMAY NI HESUS to implore God for blessings and safe travel. The religious site is a place of healing a place to 'pass your burdens specially, for those who are heavily laden' as the song goes. You will feel the presence of God at the top of the hill once you reach the foot of the 50 footer Ascending Christ.
The religious site is a tableau that tells the story of the Bible from the time of Creation to Noah's Ark, from the young Jesus to his Passion, Crucificion and ascension. It also showcases the different saints of the Catholic faith and it has a collection of Marian images.
Non practicing Catholic will be moved by it's surroundings. Even the non believers will have second thoughts.
The Chapel at the Center is where the healing priest Fr. Faller celebrates healing masses.

If you have a car it is about 3 1/2 hrs. to 4 hrs. drive from Manila depending on the traffic and stopovers. From EDSA to SLEX to Turbina in Calamba then Sto Tomas, Batangas, Alaminos, San Pablo, Tiaong, Candelaria, Sariaya then FINALLY LUCBAN, QUEZONNOTE:
Never miss the chance to CLIMB you will know what i mean when you are already at the foot of the Ascending Christ. Never miss the chance.
