St. John Sahagun Parish

Toledo City, Cebu

Business Administration Students from the University of Visayas, Cebu, and Australian documentary filmmaker Dunc Coleman, board a bus for a one day tour to the southern east coast of Cebu Island to visit five ancient catholic churches in their equally old and pastoral country towns. The intrepid Tour Guide and Cebu history advocate is Mr. Balbino Guerrero who shares his love and knowledge of these remarkable places including a joke or two. Beautifully hand painted ceilings of ancient churches, secondary burial plaques under church roofs, country town children practicing traditional guitar music within the church yard, an intimate observation of Filipino Catholic devotion through the ages. All this and a little bit more along the journey back into the days of antiquity in the Philippines. Soundtrack music is Creative Commons, Public Domain and /or Attribution. The piano piece heard near the beginning of this film is written and performed by Jerald Franklin Archer b.1964 entitled, Sonatina Espania Op 3 No.1.

UNESCO's World Heritage

One of the oldest churches in the Philippines, this was erected by the Jesuit friars in the year 1618 and was made a parochial church in 1627. It was declared a national heritage by the national museum in July 31, 2001.

The wooden altar, pulpit and main portal are fine examples of early Filipino craftsmanship.

According to the NCCA, “The church was built in the early 18th century by the Jesuits, with later additions by the seculars and the Augustinian Recollects. Much of the church and belltower, and the lower portion of the convento is made of irregular river stones, indicative of the early level of technology operating at that time. The intricately-carved retablos, pulpit and church doors (with galleons and floral designs) date from Jesuit times, while the hugely carved beams crossing the nave were installed by the seculars-- one of the beams even carries the name of the indio priest who commissioned them. The unusual horseshoe-shaped communion rail, with a flooring of inlaid wood of various colors, recalls that of San Sebastian Church, Manila, another Recollect construction.”
