"The Sacred Heart of Jesus"

This newly. Built monument was finished in January , 2015 and it was built by a man who had a wish and vision to built an image for the Christ in this area as it really had a great views.

It is considered as the tallest and highest Jesus Christ status in Asia measured as 132 feet tall. The area is in the highest point I guess in Roxas and the way leading to it is a rough road ramp up of gravels which was very hard to climb it up with the tricycle, we were 3 persons and the driver and since the driver and one of us was quite big , we had to go out me and my big friend from the tricycle so it can climb some rough parts.
