Alaminos Cathedral

[1][2] In 1743, the Zambal pioneers settled in what is now the seaside barangay Baleyadaan of Alaminos, with the settlement named after their leader Suyang.

Due to the frequent typhoons, they resettled to the wide plains southwest of their previous area and named it Casboran, in reference to the plants abundant in their new settlement.

A continued increase in population led into the creation of a new local government with its church and convent being constructed in 1768.

In 14 years, he made improvements in the Alaminos' church and convent which include: obtaining hardwood agaro from the forests of Zaragoza and tindalo from Alos; galvanized iron sheets replaced the church's nipa roof; installation of wood parquet for the loft's floor; the ceiling was repainted; and communion rails made of iron were placed.

A silver altar, a sanctuary light, floors made of concrete, and church bells were also added or implemented.
