How the propagation of Our Lady of Manaoag in Visayas started.

Edna Ouano Toral once joined a pilgrimage to Manaoag organized by Chito
      Makalintal. Inside the church, she asked Our Lady of Manaoag for healing
            because she was very sick at that time. She doesn't remember if she
                promised Our Lady she would propagate her devotion, but she did.

                 In 1994, she called Our Lady's shrine in Manaoag to talk to a priest. It
                   was Fr. James Alamillo, OP, who answered her call. Edna asked
                     permission to enthrone the image of Our Lady in St. Joseph Church
                   in Mandaue City, Cebu, where the Ouano family is from.

                On September 6, 1996, the image was enthroned at the left side of the
            church near the front door. The image then was a two-feet statue which she
         bought in Manaoag. On March 26, 1997, a replacement image made of ivory
     and wood was enthroned and blessed by Cardinal Vidal, and is now inside the
niche dedicated to Our Lady.



To date, there are now 33 churches and chapels in Cebu and Leyte where the image of Our Lady of Manaoag is enthroned. The latest was in the women's section of the Cebu city jail where 200 female inmates are held. The image was enthroned there in the morning of September 7, 2003
