Lording over the public plaza and its environs is the 400-year-old church established by the Dominican missionaries in 1619. It has withstood through the years several calamities, both natural and man-made and remains intact and majestic.
Not too few stories from old folks aver to what they believed as miracles of St. Vincent Ferrer in protecting the church from all those eminent dangers.
Once instance of how miraculous the Saint is, when three bombs were dropped by the Japanese Army targeting the church during World War II. Two of the bombs missed the church and fell on the sides. The other bomb hit the inside of the church but it only bore a hole in the middle and did not damage the church.
