The first church was burned in 1585. The second church was damaged by a typhoon and destroyed by fire. The third church was constructed in 1727 but was also burned in 1841. The present church together with two belfries was constructed shortly afterwards.[1] The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared it a national landmark in 1939.[2][1]
