[4] In 1829, during the tenure of Don Juan Marcelino Dayot as gobernadorcillo of Dingle and Fray Juan Raile as parish priest of Laglag,[5] under which parish Dingle still belonged to, construction of the current church made of granite stone quarried from nearby Bulabog Putian mountains commenced.

[6] To solidify Dingle's ecclesiastical prominence, Fray Fernando Llorente y Santos ordered the continuation of the construction of the current structure of the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist which was completed in 1886.

[7] The construction of the church under Fray Llorente covered the terms of Dingle gobernadorcillos Domingo Osano, Luís Cantalicio Dayot, and Santiago and Tomás Sanico.

[8] The Dingle Church is a classic example of Baroque architecture, characterized by its broad facade, simplistic niche and its sturdy, triangular-shaped pediment.

Though it lacks the opulent lavishness of most churches, it is infused with the Neoclassical elaborate style of volute shaping the upper facade.
