History
The National Shrine of Ina Poon Bato is located at 1003 EDSA, Project 7, Veterans Village, Quezon City, Philippines.[2]
First Chapel
The first Ina Poon Bato church was once located at the northern end of EDSA in the community of Agham - Diliman. It was established in the 1980s and at this time, it is still a Chapel. Month after month, it holds a Cursillo Class.[3]
But, due to the project of the Government of Former President Joseph Estrada, the chapel was Demolished because it will be passed by the MRT-3 and its Last Depot will be built there, on North Avenue.[4]
Current Shrine
The current Shrine was built as a replacement for the chapel that was destroyed by the MRT project. But, unknown to the Apostolic Catholic Church, the shrine that would've been temporary replacement for the chapel, would be a National Shrine and a Cathedral.[5]
