Inorogan Chapel


Erected at the top of a hill at Barangay Sto. Domingo, the chapel was built by a local philanthropist to commemorate the miraculous escape from death and destruction of the inhabitants residing at the foot of Mt. Sumagang during its 1614 eruption. The miracle was attributed to the intercesion of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose image is popularly known as OUR LADY OF ANGUSTIA, said to have been found by three Agta hunters at the present site of the chapel.
