Motu Proprio
Motu Proprio traces how Catholicism took root in the Philippines and became deeply intertwined with the nation’s history, culture, and identity. Through sacred art, architecture, and religious traditions, examine how Filipinos embraced, adapted, and transformed the faith over generations.
At Manila Cathedral, encounter the historic seat of the country’s Catholic hierarchy. Learn how successive generations rebuilt this iconic church following earthquakes, wars, and other calamities. At San Agustin Church, the oldest surviving stone church in the Philippines, admire centuries of religious art and architecture dating back to the early Spanish colonial period.
Beyond the churches themselves, Motu Proprio examines how Catholicism influenced Filipino society, politics, and everyday life. Gain a deeper understanding of the traditions, beliefs, and cultural expressions that make Filipino Catholicism distinctly its own.
