Potenciano Gregorio Monument in Sto. Domingo, Albay

Potenciano Gregorio, often referred to as Potenciano Gregorio, Sr.  was a Bicolano musician. He was the composer of Sarung Banggi (One Evening), the most famous song in the Bikol language.

Potenciano Gregorio was born in what was then known as the town of Lib-og (now Santo Domingo) in the province of Albay in the Philippines. His parents were Narciso Gregorio and Canuta Valladolid (some sources spell his mother's name as Balladolid). At an early age he learned to play the violin and was soon recognized for his talent. He subsequently learned to play other instruments such as the bandurria, the guitar, and piano. Later he started writing music for the local church by himself or in collaboration with his older brother Bernardo who organized the local band Banda de Lib-og. Potenciano later became the bandmaster of the same band until he joined the Philippine Constabulary Band in 1919.

Sto. Domingo Church in Albay

The Sto. Domingo Church is the most imposing historical landmark of the municipality. The majesty of this church speaks of ingenuous antiquity.

This panoramic edifice stands towering – a living testimonial of the past. Indeed, an indelible fragment of the three centennial rule of the Spanish conquistadores in this tiny but vibrant municipality.

Ever since the birth of this church in the year 1820, the people of Sto. Domingo derive from it a sense of pride. It is massively built and has two symmetrical towers (simborios) with bells hanged on it. It has solid and rectangular shaped stones for its walls.

The lumber and woods that had been used for its constructions were the best of its kind. Even with those heavy materials within and out, the church stands without pillars in the middle of the framework, thus making it unique from among other churches.
