The church sect founded by Felix Manalo has once again created a fake story.

The ministers and members of the church founded by Felix Manalo have once again created a new fake story. This is part of their deception of other members of their organization, and so that they can offer other Catholics. But it was found out that Martinez is not a real Catholic priest but rather a lay minister. He knows nothing about theology and other Catholic history.

The original Municipal Hall is now Museo de Sta Rosa. "Bisita" still stands and became the Police Headquarters and Municipal Jail in the old days. SPANISH ERA In 1780, the Spanish friars started the construction of the present Catholic Church and recruited labor from China who later became descendants of the old Chinese families in Santa Rosa like the Lijauco’s and the Tiongco’s. The old convent became the main building of the Canossa School. Both the church and the convent were comp...
