ALAMINOS CITY, PANGASINAN: Dr. Lorna Esperon, 60, has made it a personal tradition to visit Pilgrimage Island each year for prayer and to perform the Stations of the Cross since this special site was established at the Hundred Islands National Park (HINP) in 2018.
“But I always go weeks before Holy Week, when the crowds haven’t arrived yet. I prefer solitude—it helps me reflect deeply and connect spiritually,” Esperon, who works at the Veterans Memorial Medical Centre in Quezon City, told the Inquirer in a recent interview.
