Kalibo residents passing and living the J. Magno Street and Veterans Avenue vicinity may again enjoy the shrine built in the early 80s in honor of the martyred Filipino priests, Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto Zamorra. The shrine is fully redesigned and rehabilitated.
The project cost 100,000 pesos taken from the 20 percent Development Fund for Calendar Year 2008 for Tourism Development. The GomBurZa Shrine is damaged by flood waters and debris brought by Typhoon Frank.
Formerly painted in dull white, its 46.58 square meters raised concrete flooring was heavily damaged. The brownish mud stain made it unfit for the national heroes, the three priests.
Kalibo Mayor Raymar Rebaldo directed the Special Projects Operations Team (SPOT) under its OIC Project Manager, Engr. Daniel Marte, to expedite the new design and paint scheme resulting to an almost brand-new looking shrine fit for the three priests and national heroes.
The GomBurZa Shrine now proudly sports a new design and paint scheme of black, gold pink, and the lighter shade of pink.
Rebaldo, requested the nearby residents to take care of the shrine. He also requested the nearby construction supply store to park its heavy machineries away from the shrine in reverence to Fathers Gomez, Burgos and Zamorra. /MP
