Jimenez

Palilan was erected as a visita of Misamis during the parochial administration of Padre Francisco Jimenez de San Fermin in 1845 and it became an independent parish only in 1859 with Padre Roque Azcona as its founding parish priest and served the curacy until 1883. Palilan was named Jimenez in honor of Padre Francisco who preached the faith from Misamis to Baliangao.
