Palo Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Palo, Philippines.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lord's Transfiguration stands with three keyboards and 1,086 pipes in its Kimball Pipe Organ installed in 2012.
Jesuit missionaries Cristobal Jimenez and Francisco Encinas established the first church of Palo in 1596, inaugurating it on August 15, 1598.
