On November 30, 1872, Captivating Cuartero was erected as a parish. As a token of gratitude, the parishioners unanimously agreed to change the name of the settlement to Cuartero, in honor of Bishop Mariano Cuartero of Jaro. As a parish, the spiritual needs of the people were attended. Because of the cooperation of the people and their leaders, a parish church was built, likewise a convent, through the Polo System. The Old befry, which had survived several earthquakes, is a historical remain, which still stands as a monument and the mirror of our forefathers’ sacrifice.
