Bien Unido was one of two towns in Bohol where Super Typhoon Odette made landfall on December 16, 2021. The scenes of devastation were overwhelming.
The convent building of the Sto Nińo Parish lost its roof; the glass windows and door in the second floor were shattered, the ceiling damaged. The second floor had served as the parish function room, where all meetings and seminars took place.
The parish, led by Fr Armando Bayron, borrowed money to replace the roof, but was unable to complete the reconstruction. Tanging Yaman Foundation provided P615,764.20 to replace the ceiling, glass windows and door, and electrical wiring.
Fr Bayron blessed the renovated convent on March 20, and meetings have again been held in the function room.
