During Holy Week, Filipino Catholics observe Visita Iglesia, which involves visiting at least seven churches to honor the holy sacrament and seek forgiveness. This tradition typically takes place on Maundy Thursday, lasting the entire day, although some people finish their visits before the week ends.

Here, we've compiled Metro Manila campus churches for your Visita Iglesia convenience.
