Diocesan Shrine and Parish of San Andres, Spanish colonial Catholic church in Masinloc, Philippines

The stone church features three levels with decorative moldings, a triangular pediment, and a belfry rising from two bays south of the facade.

Father Andrés del Espíritu Santo established the first Christian church in Zambales in 1607, selecting this location due to abundant hinloc plants.

The local community performs the binabayani dance during festivals, depicting conflicts between Aetas and Christians through traditional movements and storytelling.

The religious complex includes a two-story rectory, parish office, and San Andres School of Masinloc along Santa Lucia Street in Zambales.

The church walls consist of coral stone materials, differentiating it from other Central Luzon Spanish churches built with adobe stone.
