Practical

Approx: plotted at El Nido town centre (OpenStreetMap town relation 16029725); the church position was not verified. The Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay lists St Francis of Assisi parish in El Nido (and a Sta. Potenciana parish). Exact fiesta dates and programme were not found in sources - confirm with the El Nido Municipal Tourism Office. Linapacan's parish is St Michael the Archangel (feast September 29), and Taytay's cathedral is St Joseph the Worker (feast May 1). Correction: the town's main fiesta is the Kulambo Festival in mid-March (see that entry); the October feast is the parish celebration.
