Taguig Church

Between the years 1582 and 1583, Taguig became part of the Encomienda del Tondo and was under the headship of an Alcalde Mayor, Captain Vergara.

[3] The first concrete church for use of the faithful was built by Hernando Guerrero in 1609; however, the 1645 Luzon earthquake caused it considerable damage.

[3] During the early American Period, secular priests of the Archdiocese of Manila succeeded the Augustinian Friars in Taguig.

The thrills and excitement of the fishers are replayed each year by the pasubo where fluvial parade participants in colorful boats and spectators by the riverbanks toss fruits and native delicacies to each other.

It is a celebration of thanksgiving to St. Anne, especially for her intercession paved the way to the liberation of Taguig from the hands of the Japanese forces during the Second World War.

According to architect Manuel Maximo Lopez Del Castillo Noche, a member of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), the structure of the church follows the barn-style Baroque architecture design "with its very defined articulation of both vertical and horizontal bays topped by a simple triangular pediment."

Constructed in the 1700s using Filipino forced labor,[citation needed] the chapel is made up of tiles and walls of stones.
