please help raise awareness and save San Sebastian Basilica, one of our country's historial landmarks and the only all-metal church in Asia. Nagkaroon na po ng severe damage ang all-steel structure nito caused by rusting, kaya po if we can help spread awareness of the value of our country's heritage and their ongoing restoration project, malaking tulong po yun para mabigyang pansin at halaga ng mga talagang makakatulong dito. Salamat po!
