This is definitely not on any official tourist map but I chanced across it while walking around Point 1 at White Beach in Boracay.
I doubt it’s the original stone tablets handed down to Moses though. Wrong language for that epoch and it’s riddled with spelling mistakes. Heh.
I love this photo though, it’s always the unexpected find that’s the most satisfying. 🙂
Wow, the 10 Commandments of the Bible in Boracay. But I agree with you; it’s definitely not the one given to Moses on Mount Sinai. It just can’t be…
Haha! Yeah I was kidding about that bit.
Hey, its turns out that this 10 commandments is a feature of most beaches in the Philippines!
I’m amazed, it’s a staunch Catholic country, but I didn’t know how much.
Cheers Ciana! 🙂
yeah i agree.. but they should be smashed into pieces.. should they be the original hor? ;P nice find tho!
Heh! Not to mention that the language is completely wrong for the Hebrews at that time. 🙂
Yeah, I thought it was too. 😀
Someone told me that this is a regular fixture of most beaches in the Philippines though, due to their strong Catholic roots.
I also saw churches being politically active about a RH bill while I was there. It’s amazing, their culture. I love it!
Cheers ciki! 🙂
something meaningful i spot here 🙂 nice one
Thanks! 🙂
Yeah, the Philippines has VERY STRONG Catholic roots, most of their population is Catholic, due to it’s heritage.
They had a reproductive health bill (RH bill) that the churches didn’t want to pass (coz it involves contraception – something which the Roman Catholic church does not believe in) and Intramuros was covered with banners protesting it at the major churches.
I personally don’t think religion and politics should mix but then again it always does. 🙂
Cheers Fish! 😀
