History[]

At the turn of the century, after 300 years of Spanish domination, the United States took over from Spain as a colonial power.

By the early 1900s, Protestant missionaries arrived in the Philippines. By agreement of the major Protestant denominations, the Philippines were divided into mission territories. Western Visayas went to the American Baptists, hence Baptist institutions such as Filamer Christian University, Central Philippine University, Capiz Emmanuel Hospital.
