Christ The Redeemer

	In grateful thanksgiving to the City of San Fernando and Province of La Union, of Congressman Victor F. Ortega and Former Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega and their family, they personally commissioned the 25 foot statue of Christ the Redeemer at Reservoir Hill, overlooking the city proper and San Fernando Bay. This was inspired by statue of Christ the Redeemer of former Undersecretary Jose “Peping” Mabanta whose wife Belle, that he put up in his retirement home in Pililla, Rizal, similar to that in Brazil. The Ortega family thought it would be good to have similar statue at Bacsil Ridge but Mr. Mabanta suggested that it is better to put up the statue near the city proper. When Mr. Juan Go heard about this, he offered his lot for free. Mr. Juan Go and family donated the 100 sq. meter area on which the statue stands. Having a common dream, a dream of leaving a landmark that would express their gratitude for the love and support from our community. Location: Barangay I (Reservoir Hill)
