Basilican said that the third-quarter growth was "certainly an encouraging sign" of a steady growing economy of the Philippines.

We remind the reader that in the case of hall churches the side-aisles are approximately the same height as the nave, unlike the churches built to a basilican plan where they are (much) lower.
