La Virgen Milagrosa de Badoc, a centuries-old Marian statue believed to have originated from Japan during the Christian persecution in the 1600s, is enshrined in the Minor Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Badoc, Ilocos Norte. Discovered floating off the coast in 1620 alongside the Black Nazarene of Sinait, the Virgin’s statue has since become a revered symbol of faith.
