If you\u2019ve heard of San Pedro Calungsod, Inambakan Falls, and palagsing<\/em><\/strong>, then probably you\u2019ve heard already of the municipality of Ginatilan. Located on the southwestern part of Cebu, Ginatilan is bordered by Malabuyoc, Samboan, and the rich waters of Tanon Strait.<\/p>\n Ginatilan was once a part of Samboan<\/strong> where the main seat of the Roman Catholic Parish is situated. With the large number of parishioners from Ginatilan attending church service in Samboan, the parish decided to extend their religious activities to Ginatilan. They assigned a parish priest to celebrate the Holy Eucharist and other sacraments in the barrio until these priests organized their own parish but still work under the jurisdiction of Samboan Parish. However, because of the limited supplies of sacred vessels and garments, parish priests are often sent with these from Samboan; hence the local statement, \u201cAng among pari, hinatdan<\/strong> gyud sa iyang kagamitan ug mga kinahanglanon para sa pag-alagad sa Dios ug mga barriohanon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nQUICK HISTORY<\/strong><\/h3>\n
