Guimbal Church or San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish was first built in 1774 and also survived many events that damaged it. The current church's last major repairs were after the earthquake of 1948.
|
 |
Tigbauan Church or St. John of Sahagun Parish was established in 1575. It also survived the 1948 earthquake.
|
 |
Molo Church or Sta. Ana de Molo was completed in 1888 is said to be a feminist church as it only features images of female saints.

There was supposed to be an old church in Oton. Unfortunately, that church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception was destroyed in the 1948 earthquake. The current church dates to 1972. I will write about these churches individually.
