Rock Painting at Lamanok Point

Lamanok Point is accessible only by boat or on foot and situated in Barangay Badiang. It is believed to be the abode of the stone-aged people or people living during the Paleolithic era. The painting doesn’t depict animals but is abstract with subtle shading; giving much attention to detail. Stone tools were used with blood from animals as paint, the process often called red hematite painting. Making their presence felt although quite isolated, the rock paintings are located on cliffs beside the sea.

Many miracles were attributed to her intercession such as healing of illnesses and ailments, and the granting of numerous requests like the passing of exams, the chance to go abroad and more.Not only have the inhabitants of Anda called upon her for help but also people from different parts of the Philippines. They come and offer candles and flowers, pray, then touch the glass cover of the tomb and make the sign of the cross. Others wipe the glass with their handkerchiefs believing that the “moist” from the glass will heal them.
