The Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay was damaged by the eruption of Taal Volcano in January 2020, and its repair is “highly urgent,” according to its rector, Raul Francisco Martinez.Though some problems with the shrine’s structure, particularly its roof, had been seen as early as 2019, Martinez said the damage became more noticeable after the volcano blew up when part of the patio appeared to have “sank” and its facade showed fissures.
He said the fissures resembled the effects of the 1874 and 1911 eruptions based on the church and the town’s history.
