SAN PABLO CHURCH

Dr. Marilyn Caliguran-Gallema, a resident of Tumauini, Philippines, has been an instrumental person to the San Pablo Project. In addition to conducting interviews with the local population, she saw to the careful photography to both the site of the church and the site of the horno, or kiln, for making the world-famous Cagayan Valley Style bricks. It is her photographs that will allow historians their best look at this--a world famous church waiting to be saved from its ruins.


Dr. Marilyn Caliguran-Gallema--a professor at nearby Isabela State University--is an expert in the Ibanag language and continues her fight to preserve both the beautiful literary heritage of the Ibanag language as well as the cultural and architectural legacy of its famous Spanish/Philippine architectural style.
