The monastery is home to the Carmelite nuns who are spending their time behind the walls of the convent. The convent is found right beside the chapel. The monastery has gained fame not just among the Cebuanos but also nationally. The monastery got attention when the late president Cory Aquino sought refuge in the monastery after the People Power Revolution. Former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo also went into a spiritual retreat with the Carmelite nuns. This proves that it’s not only the locals who are smitten by the comfort the monastery provides, even high ranking officials find their shelter among the nuns.
