Description
Santa Cruz (Punta Corro) is the spot where migrating Boholanos from the Visayas landed and established settlement. It is considered as one of the oldest landmarks in Dipolog's Christianity. A cross was erected by the settlers on May 3, 1905 as a thanksgiving altar to God for their safe journey. Roman Catholic mass were likewise celebrated on this area before the Spaniards established a chapel 1.5 kilometers inward along the town center street now known as Rizal Avenue.
