History

On the island of Palawan in the Philippines, the Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay is a pre-diocesan missionary jurisdiction of the Latin Church. Directly subject to the Holy See under the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, it belongs to no ecclesiastical province, though for apostolic cooperation it is customarily grouped with the Ecclesiastical Province of Manila alongside the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa.
