Dumalag Church
Mambusao Church
The Mambusao Parish Church (St. Catherine of Alexandria) I’ve seen quite a lot of Capiz best Catholic churches in the Philippines during my stint as a traveler but I’ve never seen anything quite like Mambusao’s church. .It was high noon when I arrived at Mambusao and the faded yellow façade of St. Catherine Church is the Capiz best shone brightly in the midday sun. Even without a National Historical Institute marker, I somehow knew that this structure has seen its fair share of history.
It looked as if the wall is finished with lime, a substance made from a conglomerate of wood and corals used in finishing Spanish-era churches.There wasn’t much to see inside the Mambusao Church. The ceiling was non-existent, due perhaps to the ceiling renovation that time. The floors were also bare and the retablo, very simple. And the Mambusao Parish is the another Capiz best Church in Capiz.

Cathedral Church
The Roxas City Cathedral Capiz best church, painted in beige and earthy shades, would probably look like any other church if not for its uniquely shaped pediment and its octagonal belfry.
