First built in 1754, the Obando church has the rarity of having 3 patron saints namely Sta. Clara to whom the famous fertility dance originated, San Pascual Baylon who is the current star of the town's 3-day fiesta, and the Nuestra Senora de Salamabao whose image was found by fishermen in 1763. Obando is the hometown of my grandfather. It is where I started chasing my family's story, and the first colonial era church recorded by my now retired Olympus Camedia.

Amazing architecture influenced by the Spaniards who colonized the Philippines for 300 years. Religion was the significant aspect in culture that was introduced to the native Filipinos.
