Santuario Arquidiocesano de Nuestra Señora de Caysasay

El Santuario Arquidiocesano de Nuestra Señora de Caysasay se localiza en Taal en la provincia de Batangas, en Filipinas. Gira en torno a la imagen que representa a la Inmaculada Concepción que se cree es una de las más antiguas del país. Según la tradición fue encontrada en 1603 por un hombre llamado Juan Maningcad mientras lanzaba sus redes en el río Pansipit. Las apariciones marianas en el siglo XVII fueron documentados por los líderes de la iglesia, que creen que fueron las primeras en el país. Los milagros y las curaciones atribuidas por los seguidores y devotos a través de la intercesión de la Virgen de la Caysasay desde entonces, continúan hasta nuestros días.​ La imagen fue coronada canónicamente en 1954 y más tarde se le dio el título de la "Reina de la Archidiócesis de Lipa".

Iloilo Golf and Country Club

The Iloilo Golf and Country Club, Inc., formerly and informally known as the Santa Barbara Golf Course, is a private members-only golf course and club based in Santa Barbara, Iloilo. It spans a 35-hectare (86-acre) area of plain and rolling hills in Barangay San Sebastian in Santa Barbara. It is considered one of the first golf clubs in the Philippines and the oldest existing golf course in Southeast Asia. It was the first Philippine golf club to be accepted as an affiliate of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in the world, based in Scotland. Iloilo Golf and Country Club also hosted the Philippine Open 24 times between 1935 and 1955, and again from 1957 to 1959. History The golf course was established as the Santa Barbara Golf Course in 1907 by a group of Scottish expatriates involved in building the Panay line of Panay Railways, completed the same year. It opened to the public in 1913 as a basic 9-hole course. Initially, the club was exclusive to English and Scottish migrants, but by the late 1920s, wealthy Filipino landowners gained entry, including Mariano Cacho, Oscar Ledesma, Tomas Confesor, William Gemperle, and the brothers Eugenio and Fernando Lopez. With the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935, more Filipinos became involved in government and business, further enhancing Iloilo’s mestizo elite to acquired economic power. The Santa Barbara Golf Course became a prominent golfing hub, attracting enthusiasts not only from the Visayas but also from Manila. Its skilled caddies produced talented professionals sought after by clubs in Manila, including Siodina, Nadales, Rates, Pinet, and Sinfuego, reflecting the course's significant influence. Notable American and British golfers like Gene Sarazen and Jug McSpaden frequented Santa Barbara during their visits to the Philippines. After World War II, returning migrants, together with members of the now-destroyed Polo Golf Club in Polo, Arevalo, Iloilo City, reestablished the club as the Iloilo Golf and Country Club in 1947. In 1935, the Santa Barbara Golf Course, later officially known as the Iloilo Golf and Country Club, became the new host of the Philippine Open, taking over from the Manila Golf and Country Club. It hosted the tournament from 1935 to 1955 and again from 1957 to 1959, for a total of 24 editions. The event was later transferred back to Metro Manila in 1960, with the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong serving as the new host venue. The National Historical Institute (NHI) validated the club's history and designated it a national historical site in 2007, marking its centenary year. The unveiling of its historical marker was attended by former President Fidel V. Ramos, an avid golfer himself, NHI Director Ambeth Ocampo, British Embassy dignitaries, members of the Iloilo elite, and participants of the Mayor’s Cup. References
Church of Saint Mary the Virgin (Sagada)

The Church of St. Mary the Virgin is the main Episcopal church in Sagada, Mountain Province, Philippines. It was built in 1904 by American missionaries under the auspices of the Episcopal Church in the United States (Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America) led by Rev. John Staunton when the Philippines was opened to American Protestant missions after the country was ceded to the United States from Spain in 1898. In 1918 the Rev Albert Frost was appointed as Staunton's assistant. St Mary's, Sagada was notoriously Anglo-Catholic under Fr Staunton's leadership, but Frost introduced a number of new devotions: the proper observance of Candlemas and Corpus Christi, May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary, June devotions in honour of the Sacred Heart, November intercessions for the Holy Souls, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament as a regular feature of Sunday worship. In 1918 Bishop Charles Brent was translated to a diocese in New York, and jurisdiction of the Philippines was transferred to Bishop Graves of Shanghai. Graves undertook a visitation in November 1918, and held that the singing of hymns before the Reserved Sacrament and the statue of the Virgin were illegal. He issued a directive, prohibiting such veneration. Despite threats to resign, Staunton and Frost remained in post, and the practices of Sagada continued. However, the appointment of Brent's successor, Frank Mosher, led to a final row: in September 1924 the Bishop invited the Chaplain of Brent School to open the communion rail to non-Episcopalians. Staunton declared this to be a "Pan-Protestant virus", and both he and Frost resigned at the end of 1924. In 1983 during the Marcos dictatorship, refugees fleeing the Beew massacre (in which the 623rd Philippine Constabulary burned down Sitio Beew in Tuba, Abra, claiming that they were "rebel sympathizers") were forced to take refuge in the Church of the St. Mary, where they were given succor by Fr. Paul Sagayo Jr. until they could finally be aided by Atty Pablo Sanidad of the Free Legal Assistance Group and journalist Isidoro Chammag of the Bulletin Today. American historian William Henry Scott was buried in its grounds on October 10, 1993. The church is subsequently a member of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines. References

Cosmopolitan Church

The UCCP Cosmopolitan Church is a Protestant church in Manila, Philippines. History Establishment The Cosmopolitan Church's establishment traces back to the 1930s when 60 members of the Central Methodist Church on Kalaw Street, Ermita, Manila seceded from the American Methodist Episcopal Church in March 1933. The secession was led by Rev. Cipriano Navarro, Dr. Melquiades Gamboa, and Rev. Samuel Stagg, who were instrumental to the creation of the Philippine Methodist Episcopal Church which in turn led to the establishment of the Cosmopolitan Student Church. World War II The Cosmopolitan Church building was established in 1936. During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II from 1942 to 1944, the building was used as a base of operations by church members who joined the anti-Japanese guerrilla resistance. The building was eventually seized by Japanese forces in September 1944. It was rebuilt in 1945 after the building, along with many parts of the city, were razed and bombed in the Battle of Manila. Joining the UCCP In 1948, Cosmopolitan Church, then under the Philippine Methodist Church, became part of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. The Marcos dictatorship In 1975, then-Pastor Círilo A. Rigos, along with Senator Jovito Salonga, organized the Paglingap Ministry to Political Detainees, which interceded for the release of political prisoners, and offered financial aid to their families during the dictatorship of then-President Ferdinand Marcos and his imposition of Martial Law. Over 90 detainees were freed through the effort of Rigos and Salonga's organization after five years. Contemporary events In 2012, some members of Cosmopolitan Church, led by the-Pastor Phoebe Dacanay, disaffiliated from the UCCP. Building The church currently occupies a four-story building called Rigos Hall. It was named after Martial Law-era pastor Dr. Círilo A. Rigos on May 15, 1996. The naming was an effect of the ratification of a Special Church Council Resolution. The Mary Boyd Stagg Memorial Sanctuary inside Rigos Hall is the main worship space for the church. In 1999, eight stained glass panels of stained glass were installed in the Sanctuary as part of the church’s 66th anniversary celebrations. The Angela Valdez Ramos Memorial Chapel within church grounds was dedicated on January 6, 1978, in memory of Angela Valdez-Ramos (mother of President Fidel V. Ramos), for her role in the church's Sunday school. The Founder's Garden, is a courtyard located between the Chapel and the Memorial Sanctuary.

Immaculate Conception Parish Church (Balayan)

Immaculate Conception Parish Church, commonly known as Balayan Church, is a Roman Catholic parish church in the town of Balayan, Batangas in the Philippines, under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Lipa. The church is listed as a National Cultural Treasure as its construction was supervised by Filipino seculars during the Spanish colonial period. Church history In 1575, the Augustinians made Balayan a visita of Bombon, now Taal. Balayan originally comprised what are now the independent towns and parishes of Nasugbu, Lian, Calatagan, Tuy, and Calaca. In 1578, however, this territory was turned over to the Franciscans who in turn passed Balayan to the Jesuits in 1591. In 1591, the church was constructed and blessed by. Fr. Pedro Chirino, S.J. In 1795, a new stone church was blessed and dedicated in honor of the Immaculate Conception, the Patroness of Balayan. In 1876, the parish was turned over to the Augustinian Recollects, who remained until the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. In 1857, a new convent of strong materials was finished. The old convent, on the other side of the patio was demolished, its tiles used for the ermita for the cemetery which was being constructed. In 1870, the second and third levels of the belfry, as well as the upper level of the convent had to be demolished due to damages cause by earthquakes. A temporary chapel was built while the big church underwent repairs. In 1875, the archbishop authorized the purchase of a retablo mayor, pulpit, acheros, and other decorations for the church. Planks of narra were used for the floor of the nave, while blue and white tiles were fitted to the main altar. An extension was added behind the church to serve as an antesacristy in 1878. The decorative iron grilles were put around the atrium in 1887. The campanario was repaired in 1892 with bricks instead of stones used for the upper second and third stories. Construction of the cemetery on the hill was commenced in 1857. The chapel and rows of niches were built in 1887. Erosion in 1896 necessitated the further fortification of the walls on the sides of the hill. After the revolution, the Recollects were replaced by Filipino seculars who were later driven out by the American troops in 1900 and stayed in the church for at least a year. The Old Cota Balayan church complex originally had stone fortifications as a measure against pirates who have sacked the town at least three times. After a raid in 1754, a stone cota or fort was erected with the church and convent inside. To guard the bay, a small fortification was also constructed on top of a hill on the other end of the town. This fortified church survived well in the nineteenth century; the walls of the cota were taken down probably about the same time as those of Bauan and Batangas, in the 1840s.

Jesús de la Peña Chapel

Jesús de la Peña Chapel or San Isidro Labrador Church is a historic visita in Marikina, Philippines where the first catholic mass in Marikina was held. Built by the Society of Jesus in the year 1630 with the permission of the reigning Archbishop of Manila, its establishment marked the beginning of the recorded history of Marikina, which was once a vast and mountainous area traversed by the Marikina River. History The construction of Jesús de la Peña Chapel marks the beginning of Christianity in Marikina. Before the Spaniards arrived, the area was settled by river-dwellers who relied on the Marikina River for their means of livelihood. When the Jesuits first came to the idyllic, fertile land now known as Jesús dela Peña, they brought with them a small image of Jesus. Fired with zeal to convert the natives to Catholicism, they held the first Mass in a former storage house on April 16, 1630. Afterwards, they immediately formed their order at the west bank of the river, which was full of big rocks. Inspired by the site, the priests soon called the place as "Jesús de la Peña" (Jesus of the Rock) which was also the name of the new mission. Later, the Augustinians' control over Marikina spread from Santa Elena to Jesús de la Peña. When the Jesuits ceded the chapel to Augustinians, Governor Gabriel Cruz Elasque instructed the transfer of the order to Sta. Elena because the visita was prone to frequent flooding from the Marikina River. On March 7, 1988, the Chapel underwent renovations, which lasted until June 19, 1988. Architecture The chapel is designed in Neo-Romanesque style as indicated by the arched openings and light facade. In the chapel's early designs, a row of monolithic columns is used for support and decoration as it was a common feature for Roman and early Christian architecture. A quaint bell tower is attached at the left side of the church which signifies its pragmatic, simple design of having been built beside the river which has a high tendency to overflow during the wet season. Historical marker The Philippine National Historical Commission acknowledges the Chapel's historical relevance with a marker with the following inscription (translated from the original Filipino): On the former site of a storehouse where now this Chapel stands, is where the first Mass was held on April 16, 1630, under the auspices of Father Pedro de Arce, Bishop of Manila. The Mass was conducted by Jesuit missionaries who discovered on the plateau an image of Christ, which was venerated by the whole town of Jesus dela Peña, which is now a barrio of Marikina.
