Ni\u00f1o de Cebu is also visiting the island for the celebration of the \u201cgift of faith\u201d.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Construction has been ongoing of what will be a pilgrimage site in the historic island of Limasawa in Southern Leyte province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
