HISTORICAL RUIN

The Taytay Catholic Church was built by the Jesuit Fathers who resided in Pasig. Every Sunday, these Jesuit priests came and hired men and carabaos to clear the mountains part where the church now stands. During that period when the Spaniards still occupied the town, there was no permanent priest yet. Whoever came did his share of continuing the project where the Jesuits left off.

After its completion, this church was one of the most frequented churches in the province. People came not for anything but to see the golden image of Christ, the pure silver chandeliers and to hear the clear golden sound of the bells.

In the Philippines' war with Spain, this house of God was neither destroyed nor burned. We are all aware of the fact that in that fight, the Filipinos overthrew the Spaniards and, for a time, held the reins of their own government. No sooner had the Spaniards gone when a misunderstanding between the Filipinos and the Americans, who helped them win the war, arose.

The Katipuneros were so infuriated that, in their desire to get rid of the Americans, they piled hay in the tower and at the altar and set the church on fire. Everything except the mossy stone walls turned to ashes. The images that were housed there were also razed. This happened in the year 1901. As a result, the Masses were held in the churchyard as nobody dared to enter the ruins.

Being a place for worship, the people did not just take the matter sitting down. With the combined cooperation of the natives and the assigned curates, the structure, a perfect replica of the former building, was set up. In 1904, Father Severo San Buenaventura was called upon to take over the curacy, under whose management the roofings were attached. Father Lupe spent no less that ₱30,000 from the church fund and rehabilitated a portion of the church, together

with the images.

Reverend Roque, who came after Father Lupo, undertook the task of building the portals which were finally completed on January 4, 1932. The doors were built through the initiative of Valentina Marcelo on May 29, 1918.

This church, which was a replica of the old one, will forever remain a vivid remembrance of the first Filipino resistance against the Whites.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF TAYTAY
1571 - - - - - - - 1945 (Liberation)

When the Spaniards came in 1571, the territory now occupied by this municipality was ruled by a chieftain (regulo or "lakan") called lacangtagcan (Lakan Tagkan) and his wife called Bouan, who were living in Namayar (now part of Sta. Ana, Manila). He was recorded in the Franciscan records as reigning over Mayatmon, CalatongdoƱan, Dongos, Dibag, Pinacauasan, Yamatogon, until Meysapan and which territories were identified by the said missionaries as the territories of the following towns of the Spanish regime: Pasay, Malate, Dilao (Paco), Pandacan, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Miguel, San Juan del Monte, Taytay, San Felipe Neri or Mandaluyon, and San Pedro Makati.

1571 During this year, one of the six priests who arrived in Manila, Fray Alonso de Alvarado (a member of the Villalobos expedition), immediately sailed up to the Pasig River to the lake, and was peaceably received by the inhabitants of Taytay, wherein he preached the doctrines of Christianity.

1579 The Franciscan missionaries began the conversion to Christianity of the inhabitants of Taytay, which remained a visita of Sta. Ana (Manila) until 1583.

1582-1583 The Encomienda of Taytay, consisting of 500 natives, was created under the jurisdiction of the Alcalde Mayor of the Province of Tondo.

1591 The Encomienda of Taytay under the Franciscan order had 600 tribute payers.

The ecclesiastical administration of Taytay and its visita of Cainta was ceded by the Franciscan order to the Jesuits.

1597 Pedro Chirino, the learned Jesuit historian, wrote that, at this time, "the village of Taitai lay along the water, on the banks
