The first church of Mabitac was the aforementioned church between the two barrios of Siniloan . Due to flooding , the Franciscans transferred the church on top of Calvary or '' Kalbaryo '' Hill in 1618 and made it out of stone . Originally , the church only had 96 steps but further improvements increased it to more than 120 steps . It was seriously damaged during the 1880 earthquake and repaired under the supervision of Father Antonio de la Fuente and again severely damaged during the 1937 earthquake
