Occupying a hilltop location about 1.5km from the bus terminal is this enormous new statue of Jesus. The builders claim it's 132ft tall, but this is highly debatable! Originally the hands were supposed to be outstretched in welcome, but the sculptor made them vertical for technical reasons, creating an "I surrender" look. You can climb inside to the top. The site offers great views of the region, including the many fishponds that go unseen at sea level.
A complementary statue of Mary is visible when approaching Roxas from the east. Other statues are due to follow on surrounding hills until the Trinity is complete.
