When I was new here in Tagaytay, I always wondered how the Divine Word Seminary got its SVD initials or nickname when SDW or DWS could have been more appropriate. I searched and searched and finally found what does SVD stand for.
“Most members of a religious community use initials after their name to identify the religious congregation they belong to. For example, SJ stands for the Society of Jesus and OSF reflects the Order of St. Francis. SVD is Latin for Societas Verbi Divini. Translated into English, it means Society of the Divine Word. However, in the USA, we are more commonly called the Divine Word Missionaries or the SVDs.”
The Holy Spirit Chapel is housed at the Divine Word Seminary in Tagaytay City. It is one of the most popular chapels in Tagaytay that both locals and tourists go to during Christmas and Advent seasons.
Can you guess where we were when we took these photos?
Clues: lush pineapple plantations, chilling on top of a hill, jacuzzi and no inflatable swimming pool.
I’m a travel blogger based in Tagaytay and for the past four years, I have been blogging about Tagaytay City and all the tourist spots, resorts, restaurants and shopping areas such as the Mahogany Market. One thing I couldn’t write about is the multitudes of hotels in Tagaytay. From the cheapest lodging rooms to the most luxurious hotel accomodations.
One of the main reasons for that is because I’m already living in Tagaytay City so there is no longer a reason for me to book an accommodation at any Tagaytay Hotels nearby. And since I don’t usually stay in a hotel in Tagaytay, I can’t write a decent review about any of them so instead of making a review about my personal impression of a house, house or any room accomodation in the city. So instead of writing a review, I decided to create a web directory of every available hotel or room accomodation in Tagaytay City.
This is my Tagaytay Hotel Directory. You may call the hotel staff directly to inquire and compare the prices, amenities and other details. We hope you enjoy your stay in the City!
