The UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has listed six World Heritage sites in the Philippines namely the Baroque Churches, the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park in Palawan, The Ifugao Rice Terraces of the Philippines, the Vigan City Experience (throwback to the Spanish Colonial times), Puerto Princesa Subterranean (Underground) River National Park in Palawan, and the breath-taking Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary in Davao as they exhibited in the National Museum of Natural History.
The Ifugao Rice Terraces is regarded as the Mother of Rice Terraces because it was built 2000 years ago. The National Government aims to build the Terraces Resort in Mountain Province run by the local government to accommodate more tourists who want to revel at the view. We will build a five-star four-storey building and villas scattered for honeymooners. We will provide spas and massage parlors. The road leading to the resort will automatically develop as there will be local and foreign tourists. I suggested they provide a visual ruler beside the minute Tarsier who measures 12 to 16 centimeters. There is a stalagmite there those are mineral deposits at the bottom of the cave. You might like to add stalactites formed at the top of the cave. When stalagmites and stalactites meet and join they are called columns.
"Baroque architecture is the building style of the Baroque era, begun in late 16th-century Italy, that took the Roman vocabulary of Renaissance architecture and used it in a new rhetorical and theatrical fashion, often to express the triumph of the Catholic Church. It was characterized by new explorations of form, light and shadow, and dramatic intensity. Common features of Baroque architecture included gigantism of proportions; a large open central space where everyone could see the altar; twisting columns, theatrical effects, including light coming from a cupola above; dramatic interior effects created with bronze and gilding; clusters of sculpted angels and other figures high overhead; and an extensive use of trompe-l'oeil, also called "quadratura," with painted architectural details and figures on the walls and ceiling, to increase the dramatic and theatrical effect."

The Baroque Churches in the Philippines are: The San Agustin Church in Intramuros (1604), Manila; The Santa Maria Church in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur (1567); The Paoay Church in Paoay, Ilocos Norte (1593) and The Miagao Church in Miagao, Iloilo (1580).
