The marker of the Bosoboso Church that tells its history:
First erected as a mission church of the Jesuits in the year 1700 and placed under the patronage of the Nuestra Señora de la Anunciata, its administration was transferred to the secular priests in 1768. Damaged by earthquake in June 18, 1880. Vacated in 1930 to give way to the proposed construction of a dam. The people returned to Boso-boso when the dam was not constructed. The church was destroyed by fire in 1943 and was restored in 1995 through the generosity of parishioners.

vickyg,
I am the parish priest of that old church in Boso-boso. We are really popularizing it for those who would like to get married and as a pilgrimage site also. The ambiance of an old church remains. It has a spacious parking space. It is located in a sitio and so it is not a busy spot. It is very accessible. We do not have a particular space for the reception but the patio can be utilized for reception designed in a fiesta sa nayon ambiance. You can come and visit. I am free on Mondays and Tuesdays.
you can call me through this number: 09289821703, or communicate through the e-mail.
It is not difficult to come here. You just take Aurora, cubao road and that whole stretch going to our place is Marcos Highway. It is straight drive. You don’t turn until you reach the street going to the church. It is about one hour and 30 minute drive from cubao if the traffic is not that heavy.

Oh, how nice, Fr. Domingo. Like an Intramuros (or San Sebastian) of Antipolo! Nice, nice. Boso-boso church would be a great backdrop for wedding pics. I hope the chandelier has been fixed though.
