Answer:
this is the correct answer
Explanation:
The original Chapel was built in Ogtong as it was then called in late 1566 by Friar Martin Rada. It was subsequently destroyed by a Dutch Raiding Party in 1614. The Church was rebuilt several times until the Mid-1860s when the largest, most ornate Church was consecreated in Oton. It was a veritable treasure that survived the Revolution and World War II and was unfortunately destroyed by the Lady CayCay Earthquake in January 1948. The quake was measured at 9.0 on the Richter Scale and it destroyed or levelled most of the buildings in the area. The Church was eventually rebuilt and finally consecrated in late 1966. That is the Church we see today!

Oton County Church before the lady caycay earthquake:
- The magnificent Oton Church in Iloilo was of some sort in the Philippines but was destroyed not by war but by an earthquake.
- Archival photograph from the San Agustin Museum.
- It would be one of the most amazing churches in the world if it were not for the amazing things that are not the result of a natural disaster.
- The city of Oton was founded by the Augustinians in 1572 after Cebu and Manila and was the administrative center of Iloilo.
- In fact, the name of the former province is the name of the city.
- Too bad the magnitude can be seen in pictures only today, as it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1948.
- The shape of the Oton Church is that of the Greek cross, meaning that the length of its four sides is equal.
- In the center is a large altar or its retablo mayor, a feature rarely found in the Philippine Church.
