🦠Through the influence of the Spanish settler's long ago, they have successfully imparted Christianity to
us. Christianity shaped our culture in so many ways, including values, norms, beliefs, and practices.

life for the entire province.

Catholicism (Roman Catholic) is more popular in Palawan; next is the Protestant or reformation church,
such as Adventistism, Born Again, and Baptism; yet there are pockets of Muslims due to many early
Malay settlers bringing over their religion.For instance, religious individuals are frequently more inclined
to be conscientious, cautious, trustworthy, diligent, well-organized, and amicable. People who are not
religious typically have more analytical tendencies.

was created on June 21, 1969, by virtue of Republic Act 5821, signed by President Ferdinand Marcos.

as San Vicente ".

Jesus' life. These holidays aid Christians in remembering the spiritual value or relevance of these
occasions.

vast universe and all that is in it.
