Laguna: Underground Cemetery

 One of the historical places in the Philippines, it is a fine example of Spanish colonial architectura, built by the Franciscan Friar Vicente Velloc in 1845. The underground section of the cemetery played an important role in our history because it became a safehouse for guerillas during World War II.
