Pilgrimage Site of Padre Gaspar (Albacea Hill Shrine)

Albacea Hill, Barangay Hugpa, Biliran, Biliran, Philippines

Historical Site

The Pilgrimage Site of Padre Gaspar is a historical and religious site associated with Gaspar Ignacio de Guevara, a Filipino priest linked to a religious movement in Biliran during the Spanish colonial period. The shrine is located on Albacea Hill, where devotees and pilgrims occasionally trek to honor his legacy. The site is remote and requires a hike of about 1.5 kilometers, making it more accessible to dedicated pilgrims rather than casual visitors. It is considered a significant cultural and spiritual landmark tied to the Biliran Religious Revolt and local folk religious traditions.
