Our third to the last stop is my favorite, the old Immaculate Conception Church otherwise known as the Baclayon Church. I've always been fascinated by old churches and is actually planning to travel and take photos of the numerous beautiful churches here in the Philippines. I've already started last summer and will continue to pursue it in the coming months.
The Baclayon Church is the oldest church and the first symbol of Christianity in Bohol built in 1596 by the Jesuits.

Aside from its rich history, the church is also known for the miraculous appearance of the image of a Jesuit priest in one of the cobblestone walls. The image cannot be seen clearly by the naked eye but check the camera viewer and you would be able to see the Jesuit father.For showbiz watchers, Baclayon is also known as the hometown of Cesar Montano (future gubernatorial candidate?).
