St.Agustin Church is a Catholic church. It was built in 1571. The earliest building was built of bamboo, coconut leaves and earth. In 1574, the invaded pirates burned to ashes. After the reconstruction and destruction of the fire, the Spanish colonial authorities had to decide to rebuild the St. Augustine Church with stone. In 1599, when the church started, there was a problem immediately. The locals only used coconuts and bamboo to make buildings. There was no way to repair such a stone building. At that time, the Philippines was an important transit point for Chinese people to move to Nanyang. Many Chinese would stay in the Philippines, so the Spaniards hired a large number of Chinese workers to repair the church.
