In 1961, Republic Act 3088 changed the name Cabalian to San Juan. However, the town is still known as Cabalian. The name simply refuses to disappear on maps, telecommunication directories and in most people's minds. St. John de Baptist, built in 1892 by the Jesuit in San Juan (Cabalian), Southern Leyte is one of the seven stone churches in the Diocese of Maasin included for the Sinugdan Quincentinnial Pilgrim Tour. This stone church features a tunnel connecting to the “kumbento”, and another tunnel that leads to the municipal hall, then to the ocean.
