ON THIS DAY: Back in July 12, 2016, the Philippines scored a victory against China in a landmark ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration that invalidated Beijing’s massive claims in the South China Sea.

The 501-page ruling was handed down in The Hague, Netherlands, more than three years after the case was filed by the Philippines in January 2013.

Today, 173 years ago our parish was founded.

The Parish was erected by the Diocese on December 10, 1851, having St. Matthew the Apostle as the titular Patron and advocate, being looked after and visited by Barugo.

The Church was made up of wood and galvanized iron roof; 50 and half meters in length, 15 in width and 9 in height and in a bad and precarious condition.

A Cemetery was also established and protected by a fence.

The Parochial House was made up of wood board and has partitions and walls.
