Actual Video Footage of Church Belfry collapse in Cebu City
A netizen uploaded a 60-second video in Youtube showing the actual collapse of the belfry of Basilica Minore de Santo Nino in Cebu City when a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit the nearby province, Bohol. The actual footage shows women screaming out loud while they move away from the vicinity of the church.
Here's the video:
FYI:
Basilica Minore de Santo Nino is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the country. The church was built in 1565 using hard wood, mud and nipa. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi previously named it as San Augustin Church. It was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt twice in 1602 and in 1735.
In 1735-1737, Cebu Governor Fernando Valdes Y Tamon ordered its reconstruction and that time it was reconstructed out of hard stone materials. -Cebu-Life.com
