For these photos, what is very evident is the loss of plaster on the bell tower and its walls. Because the protective barrier is no longer present, it has exposed the main material to deterioration. There are also some bricks which are missing, chipped or has already eroded. The grouting on most of the parts are also have eroded. Moss is also starting to grow. The floral elements on its arches got eroded as well. As you can notice, the door became shorter as well unlike on the original photo. This is because the floor got elevated due to the lahar that flooded the church during the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
