Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan - well known as simple as " Grotto"...
Madami tayong mga grotto pero pag sinabi mong " GROTTO" lang sigurado ko yan na ang grotto ng san jose del monte. Pag Holy week madaming mag yayaya punta tayong grotto... I've been here so so many times specially during my teenage life. Kami ng mga friends ko , yung isa kong friend na naging boyfriend ko na naging asawa ko na!!! Dati kami lang ng boy friend ko nagyon pati anak namin kasma na namin.
This time we went here ng ordinary day. Konti lang ang mga pumunta as in konti lang.

STATION OF THE CROSS

THE CHURCH
This church is located sa baba (ground hindi ito ang loob ng church sa loob).
Ang place ay maganda, malawak kaso dapat i maintain nila ang kaayusan mapanatili sana ang kagandahan lalo na s loob ng Station of the Cross dahil sa sobrang lawak ng place hindi mo na ma assure ang safety lalot ang mga damo sa ibang part ng Station ay madami at matatas na.
During ng visit namin masasabi kong hindi advisable ang ordinary days kasi sobra tlagang konti ng tao nakakatakot mg ikot lalu na sa station of the cross bigla na lang may lalabas na tao nakatago sa mga damo, statue kaya hindi nanamin tinuloy ang pag iikot feeling namin mga masasamang tao kasi yung dala namin dog hindi mapakali hinihila yung mga damit namain pag lumalakad kami (siguro they smell something bad talaga). Best time pumunta before Holy Week or after para madami dami pang pumupunta kasi during Holy week sobra naman ang dami but if you really want to experience such huge people it's also great but you will not appreciate the beauty and solemn.
My advised:
1. Put some guards or assign some person lalo sa station of the cross and sa mga malyo layo ng place to secure the safety of all visitors.
3.If you visit Divine Mercy just drop here also para isang puntahan lang.Manage your time you can visit Divine Mercy in the morning and in the afternoon visit Our Lady of Lourdes para hindi sayang ang araw.
