1959 Resumption of Excavation
In 1959, M. Maria Catalina Dychitan, RVM and M. Maria Dominga Palanca, RVM went to Madrid to make some research in various Spanish archives and they were able to obtain copies of the building plan of the old St. Ignatius Church. This triggered off the resumption of the excavation work but it stopped again on seeing the activity yielding no fruit. A permit, however, was secured from the Superintendent of City Schools on 23 April 1962 allowing the Congregation to go on with the diggings. This dragged on until 1967.
