A Towering Curve


The Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel in Filinvest City, Alabang, is a beautiful, modern landmark known for its unique, nature-centric architecture.


Inspired by an inverted white lily, the chapel's graceful curve stands in beautiful contrast to the sharp angles of nearby corporate buildings, symbolizing the purity of the Virgin Mary. Since opening in 2023, its towering design appears to open toward the heavens, creating a profoundly serene atmosphere.


More than just a place of worship, the chapel is a community hub with a big heart. It actively supports charitable causes, including Elsie Gaches Village, a facility for kids with developmental disabilities.


This architectural gem is a must-see, combining stunning design with a genuine mission of good. I highly recommend a visit.

When Mickey Went Gothic

In the 1930s, Universal's hits like Dracula and Frankenstein had everyone buzzing, and Walt Disney wanted a piece of that spooky action for his biggest star. The result was The Mad Doctor —a frantic, gothic horror show where Mickey Mouse has to brave a booby-trapped castle full of dancing, self-assembling skeletons to rescue his snatched dog, Pluto. It was the first time audiences saw a truly terrified Mickey. Not only did some theaters refuse to screen the short film, but the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) outright banned it, deeming it "too gruesome" for kids.
