The Augustinians are the pioneering missionaries in the Philippines, who arrived in the country from Spain and Mexico in 1565 and established the Provincia Agustiniana del Santísimo Nombre de Jesús de Filipinas in 1575. Eventually after 418 years, a Filipino Province, Augustinian Province of Santo Niño de Cebu – Philippines, was canonically established in 1983 to continue the Augustinian spirit of service to the Catholic Church in the Philippines.
