A collection of 360-degree Images, videos, and timelapse pictures of the Philippines

In this blog you'll find 360x180 degree panoramas of places in the Philippines. A 360x180 'pano' is made up of around 16-26 individual fisheye photos which are then stitched together using special software. Use the search engine below to find specifics, or look up the index which is arranged geographically. Click on the broken square box in the top right of each picture to open in full screen mode and then drag the images to view in virtual reality!

Timelapse videos are also being added, as are aerial shots including fly-overs taken from a drone. Enjoy!

Sts Peter and Paul Church, Ormoc, Leyte

 During the second world war, in November 1944, the Americans rained bombs on the city, hitting the church and surrounding structures, apparently mistaking it for a Japanese hospital. What remained of what was apparently a beautiful stone church was the front were the altar was located. Church documents that detailed the births, marriages and deaths of Ormocanons likewise perished. The priests assigned here after the war took it upon themselves to rebuild the church and the rectory, year after year, initiating fund raising activities locally and soliciting from other external sources.
