The buttresses were part of the old church. When the church got burned, they were some of those that were left standing and seemingly unharmed. When we rebuilt the church, we decided to retain the buttresses in recognition of Architect Locsin who designed the old church. The buttresses were subjected to bore tests in order to see how much were they affected. The bore tests produced good results for the buttresses. However, even if that was the case, we decided to provide the new roof of the new church its own support. The Locsin buttresses depicts the Church's rising from the ashes, its passing from death to life, and a transition from the old to the new!
