The province of Batangas is often referred as the “Rome” of the Philippines because of the ancestral churches, which includes twenty four pilgrimage churches. A pilgrim receives a plenary indulgence every time he or she visits any of these churches. Plenary indulgence is the Church’s way of remission of all punishment due to forgiven sins which can be applied to oneself or the other souls in purgatory and it cannot be applied to another person still living on earth.
