Since its establishment during the Spanish-colonial era, Boso Boso Church has been a silent witness to numerous historical events that shaped the lives of the people living near it. Although the church managed to survive until today, Bosos Boso Church didn't escape the wrath of Mother Nature and the acts of man. It was significantly damaged by the 1880 earthquake and due to the dwindling population in the area, the church was never restored. Whatever was left of the church was burned down by the Japanese invading forces during the Second World War leaving only the lower portion of its facade.
