The church was designed by the Czech-American architect Antonín Raymond, himself already recognized as one of the founders of modern architecture in Japan.
Raymond then had designed buildings in the United States, Japan, India, Indonesia and other Asian countries.
[citation needed] The church sanctuary, devoid of any reredos, is dominated by a vibrant-colored mural of a large Masonic eye and an angry-looking Jesus commonly called "The Angry Christ".
[1][5] The mural was painted by Philippine-born Alfonso Ossorio, friend of Jackson Pollock and Clyfford Still.
The materials and talents were provided by the local artists Arcadio Anore and Benjamin Valenciano.
