Whether this bell tower is really sinking or not, we leave it up to you. The fact remains that this brick-made monument is one of the prominent landmarks in Laoag City. It is strangely located far from the church of which it is the belfry. Well, it is not the only detached bell tower in the Philippines. Take the case of the bell tower of the Jaro Cathedral in Iloilo. At any rate, this "sinking" monument provides a good background for any pictorial. You'll be impressed by its massive, multi-tiered structure that has survived earthquakes and other adverse events since the early 17th century. Thumbs up!

This landmark has a lot of potential but i was disappointed that it was not well maintained by the city. I mean, you can see vendors around the area and it was such an eyesore. it's totally different from the Google photos. Looks nice from afar though.
