Ma-cho Temple in San Fernando, La Union, Philippines

I was tour-guided to a Buddhist Temple named Ma-cho Temple located at the City of San Fernando in La Union in the Philippines, and was told this temple and its surroundings were once captured and used as parts of a movie there and it gave the impression that the shots were taken in China.

Buddhism in the Philippines is largely confined to the Filipino Chinese, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Korean, and Vietnamese communities. There are temples in Manila, Davao, Cebu and other places. It is understood that less than 0.1% of the total population is Buddhist; 80% of Filipinos are Roman Catholics.
