Ligid-Tipas in Taguig City
, Philippines
.
This church of Tipas formerly belonged to the Immaculate Conception Parish of Pasig and later transferred to the Shrine of Saint Anne in Sta. Ana, Taguig City. On November 17, 1969, Cardinal Rufino Jiao Santos formally erected the parish under the patronage of St. John the Baptist. The first parish priest appointed was Rev. Fr. Ruben "Ben" J. Villote. The word "Tipas" comes from the word "Tinagpas" or "Tiga-gapas" because the original Tipaseños were farmers.
From 1969 to 2003, the Parish of St. John the Baptist was a part of the Archdiocese of Manila. Presently, it belongs to the Vicariate of St. Anne under the Diocese of Pasig. Rev. Fr. Juvi Q. Coronel is the current parish priest.
The parish celebrated its 40th Founding Anniversary last November 17, 2009.
The highlight of the event is the renovation of the parish roof through the effort of the Parish Pastoral Council headed by Bro. Andring Ramos and Dr. Luz Pagkalinawan is the chairperson of the fund-raising committee.
Bro. Andring Ramos resigned as PPC Chairman as of August, 2009. Immediately Rev. Fr. Juvi Coronel created an ad-hoc committee that will organized the festivities of the Ruby Anniversary. The team was headed by Joel Tanyag together with Dr. Luz Dueñas Pagkalinawan, Joseph Rodriguez Soguilon, Lucy Dueñas, Ana Maria Natividad Umali, PJ Estacio, John Paul Mendoza, Susan Magsalin, Besilda Bacanto, Rudy Flores and Zeny Aborque.
