A new chapter in the life of the Misyong Parokya ni Sta. Monica of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente at Barangay Mamanga Daku, Plaridel, Misamis Occidental has officially begun as the construction of its new church building is now underway. More than the construction of a physical structure, this project stands as a living testament to the faith, unity, and spirit of bayanihan demonstrated by the parish community.

The future church has been thoughtfully designed with a blend of Classical and Modern architectural elements, ensuring that its beauty will remain timeless while adapting to contemporary architectural trends. Its façade combines Neo-Classical and Indigenous Filipino architecture, preserving the traditional appearance commonly associated with parish churches throughout the Philippines while embracing a distinct local identity.

A unique feature of the design is the incorporation of patterns inspired by the weaving traditions of the Subanon people, the indigenous cultural community of Misamis Occidental. These artistic elements are integrated into the church façade as a tribute to the province’s rich cultural heritage and as a symbol of the Church’s connection with the people it serves.

The church will also feature stained-glass windows adorned with symbols, images, and forms related to the ministries and sacraments of the Church. Decorative moldings on the façade columns will further enhance its beauty. Beyond their architectural function, these columns symbolize the strength and steadfastness of both the Church and its faithful members.

Standing prominently at the center of the structure will be the church bell tower, designed not only as a spiritual landmark but also as a representation of the community's identity. Inspired by the name Mamanga Daku, which means “large mango tree,” the bell tower symbolizes growth, stability, and rootedness in faith. At its crown will stand three pillars representing the Holy Trinity, the three major island groups of the Philippines, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao; and the enduring mission of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente to serve both God and Country, Pro Deo et Patria.

As construction begins, the parish community continues to demonstrate that the project is not merely about building a church, but about building a stronger and more united faith community. Every volunteer, donor, worker, and parishioner who contributes to this endeavor becomes part of a shared mission that will benefit generations to come.

The proposed design for the Holy Child Cathedral of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente in Roxas, Oriental Mindoro is a harmonious blend of classic and modern architecture that embodies timeless elegance while embracing contemporary sensibilities.

Rooted in Neoclassical design, the structure integrates Mangyan-inspired motifs, such as the buon-buon weaving pattern, symbolizing the rich local culture.

Its facade echoes native dwellings yet retains the familiar grace of a traditional Filipino town church, creating a distinct identity for the IFI.

The stained-glass windows, shaped after the bishop’s mitre, reflect the faith’s guiding principles, while the Holy Cross and the IFI emblem emphasize its Catholic and Apostolic heritage.

A stately bell tower on the left side stands with three symbolic pillars representing theology, geography, and history.

Altogether, the design honors both faith and heritage—standing as a proud cathedral and cultural landmark for Roxas and the province of Mindoro, embodying the Church’s enduring mission of Pro Deo et Patria (“For God and Country”).

Iglesia Filipina Independiente Mission of St. Isidore the Farmer, Barangay Guinbirayan, Santa Fe, Romblon

The church has undergone several improvements under the supervision and design concept of JakStone Engineering and Design .

The major improvement was the renovation of the church facade, completed in 2017. This was the second church project of Jakstone Engineering and Design.

The renovation was carried out during the term of Deacon Jayson Ganoria. The newly renovated facade was blessed on February 17, 2017, by the Right Reverend Ronelio V. Fabriquier, Bishop of the Diocese of Romblon and Mindoros. The project was completed with a limited budget of about ₱100,000.

The design is simple but full of meaning. It reflects both IFI and Catholic traditions. The front wall is covered with stones carefully collected from the shores of Guinbirayan and nearby areas. These local stones represent the blessings of the land and the love of the community for their place and country.

The belfry is inspired by the wing of an eagle. It represents the mission's continued effort to serve God and the country despite challenges.

At the top of the belfry are three pillars. They represent the Holy Trinity, the three main regions of the Philippines, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao; and the name Iglesia Filipina Independiente.

The circular stained-glass IFI seal connects the mission to the wider Iglesia Filipina Independiente, while the cross represents the IFI's place in the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

The improvements continued in 2022 with the renovation of the church ceiling under the leadership of Rev. Jocelyn Gonzales. This interior improvement also prepared the church for the planned construction and improvement of the altar.

The new facade design of the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente in Oroquieta City blends classical and modern architecture to reflect both tradition and progress. Its Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque façade features gold-inspired details symbolizing Oroquieta (“gold”) and motifs from Subanon culture, highlighting local identity.

The arches and windows, shaped after a bishop’s miter, signify the cathedral’s unity under episcopal guidance, while stained glass artworks depict the Church’s sacraments and ministries. Decorative columns represent faith and strength, and the Holy Cross atop the façade proclaims the IFI’s connection to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic faith.

The bell tower, marked by three pillars, symbolizes the Holy Trinity, the three major island groups of the Philippines, and the heritage of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente—all expressing the Church’s enduring mission: “Pro Deo et Patria” (For God and Country).

Together with Fr. Alfie Tibor, we conducted an inspection of the cemetery owned by the IFI Cathedral of St. Mary in Oroquieta City.

The IFI Cemetery is located within a larger cemetery complex, alongside public, private, and Catholic cemeteries. It is currently divided into three areas: the old cemetery, the new cemetery, and the newly acquired lot.

Our inspection primarily focused on the newly acquired property, where the development of a memorial park is being proposed. Unlike the existing cemetery areas, which primarily use traditional nitso, the new development is envisioned to provide a more organized and modern arrangement, including underground niches, mausoleums, and apartment-type niches.

At the heart of the proposed memorial park, a cemetery chapel is planned to serve as a place of prayer, reflection, and remembrance. A basement columbarium is also being considered as part of the chapel complex.

The initial development concept also includes an administration building, comfort rooms, and multipurpose areas to support the operation and needs of the cemetery.

To further improve accessibility and establish a distinct identity for the cemetery, we also proposed a concrete welcome arch at the main entrance, together with the concreting and improvement of the main access roads within the property.

This proposed development seeks to transform the newly acquired lot into a dignified, orderly, accessible, and meaningful memorial park.
