The shrine is dedicated to Gregorio Aglipay (1860–1940). He was a Catholic priest and served as a military chaplain during the Philippine Revolution in 1896. He was excommunicated in 1899 for rebelling against Spanish rule in the Philippines. Aglipay later co-founded the Philippine Independent Church with Isabelo de los Reyes in 1902 and became the church's first supreme bishop.[1][2]

The shrine houses Aglipay's mausoleum.[3] It has a marker dated 1949 from the Philippines Historical Committee, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.[4] The commission declares the site as a national shrine.[5]
