10 Oldest Churches in The Philippines
3. MAASIN CATHEDRAL
4. BINONDO CHURCH
The first buildings were probably ruined during the Muslim raid
of 1782 that destroyed almost all the entire town. Fr. Ambrosio
Otero started the reconstruction of the new church in 1783 and
Fr. Julian Bermejo finished the church and had a stone fence
built to enclose the convent and the church as an added
protective measure. In 1880 an old organ was installed and to
this day, the organ is still at the choir loft, although it is in
danger of getting worn out.
7. NIO
4.LUCBAN CHURCH
Is one of the oldest churches we have in Quezon province.
5. SAN GUILLERMO PARISH CHURCH
San Guillermo Parish Church is one of the oldest and largest churches in the Philippines. It was
accepted as an Agustinian convent on December 31, 1576 on the lot owned by Don Guillermo
Manabat.
The above St. Michael Archangel Church of Basey adds to the colorful history of the
town. Built by the Jesuit priests on the late 17th century, it is one of the most beautifully
preserved church in Samar. It was transferred to the care of Augustinians in 1768, then to
Franciscans in 1795. It served as meeting room and theater during the Japanese occupation,
then a relocation site during the American liberation.
