Bohola,
Church of the Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph (R.C.). It was built before 1895. This news article dates it to 1858. M 3075 9519. © Bill Henderson. Link. A map of 1838 shows an earlier church a very few yards south of (behind) the present church, and on a different alignment. It site is within the church's parking area, but not seen by Streetview. Shown on a map surveyed no later than 1838, less than ¾ of a mile away from Immaculate Conception, is Bohola Church, in the script used to denote an ancient place. By 1900 it was being labelled as In Ruins, and later maps, and an aerial view, suggest that little  or nothing of the church survives (though there appear to be some interesting lumps and bumps). It stood within a graveyard which survives, and it was seen (distantly) by Streetview in 2023. M 2986 9571.
