On the way back to Davao City we dropped by a religious tourist spot named [Divine Mercy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Mercy_Shrine_(Misamis_Oriental)). The site consists of a good sized church, a large landscaped park, and a big statue of the legendary [Jesus Christ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus). There is also a place to light candles and some souvenir booths lining the entrance.

I was still sleepy when we got there so I didn't look around that much but I got to sit in a large peaceful church. It was easy to observe the silence and I enjoyed it. Thank you for reading about our travels and I hope you enjoy the photos!
