I'm a little late for Monochrome Weekly, but the saying goes better late than never right? So here it is, one of the oldest churches in Bohol, Philippines, The Panglao Church or the Saint Augustine Church.
According to history Rev. Fr. Valentin Utande started building the church in 1894 until 1897 but was put to stop because of his transfer to other Parish. In1898 the construction was continued by 2 Spanish Priests but was abandoned when the Filipino-Spanish revolution begun.
In 1912 through the help of church leaders, reidents of Panglao with Rev. Fr. Emiliano Veloso as Parish Priest the construction has continued and in 1924 even the church was still unfinished an inuaguration was held on August 31, 1924.
Saint Augustine Church is located on the southwestern side of Panglao Island just 18 kilometers away from Tagbilaran City, Bohol's Capital City.
