As far as I can recall, we used to live on the top floor of a certain Tiampo (?) building. I remember looking out of my windows and seeing the big neon signs of the Main or Midtown Theatres, both I think are located at the corners of the calle real. It was magic to me in those times especially when it was Christmas time, all those lights of calle real that we can view from our windows. We also used to have a shop there at corner JM Basa next to Rajah Store. I remember Rajah Store plays out radio music from its store then. I really hope restoration of the place is being done to preserve such priceless and wonderful heritage, not only in calle real but to all other beautiful architectures, the ancestral homes and century old churches of Iloilo's glorious past.

However, even if the church sport more Classic facets, the overall impression is Gothic. lol! the age of its construction? look.. Gothic might be used as an architectural term, a fashion sense and an early european era. the age of the construction doesn't have anything to do with the architectural distinction of an edifice. the Duomo of Milan is also a Neo Gothic Church... wherein flying butresses and pointed arches are not necessarily applied...

Molo church is not a Gothic church although its design contains a few Gothic elements. At best it can be described as a "trying hard Gothic". To be cosidered as such it should have all Gothic elements among which are the flying buttresses, the ribbed vaulting, pointed arches, etc. and most especially the era of its construction. It can also be described as vulgar Gothic just like the cathedral of Milan. Pretensious design. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as Gothic - Romanesque FYI.
