When I travel, I try to visit every town along the jeepney route as much as possible. Between the Puerto Galera and Calapan City jeepney route, there’s the Tamaraw Falls and the sleepy town of San Teodoro. I dropped off at San Teodoro just to take some pictures.
The San Teodoro Municipal Hall under construction. July 18, 2019
Whenever I visit the town, I always try to visit the main Catholic church, the municipal hall, Rizal’s monument, the marketplace and some ancestral houses. During my visit at San Teodoro, their municipal hall is being constructed (or renovated). I saw an old house with the signage “Post Office” – (I’m not sure if it’s really their post office) besides the market, which is smaller than Kenneth Talipapa in Pasig City.
Their main Roman Catholic church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
According to PhilAtlas:
San Teodoro is a coastal municipality in the province of Oriental Mindoro.
The municipality has a land area of 341.00 square kilometers or 131.66 square miles which constitutes 8.05% of Oriental Mindoro's total area. Its population as determined by the 2015 Census was 17,904. This represented 2.12% of the total population of Oriental Mindoro province, or 0.60% of the overall population of the MIMAROPA region. Based on these figures, the population density is computed at 53 inhabitants per square kilometer or 136 inhabitants per square mile.

Tricycles here are in great shape. Mostly made of stainless steel
Too bad I visited on a Thursday so I was unable to see the interior of the church.
