Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary is one of the most venerated saintly images in the Philippines.
The shrine commemorates a naval victory won by Spanish and Filipino (Kapampangan) forces, believed by Catholics to have happened through the miraculous intervention of the Virgin Mary against the new Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years' War, the last significant attempt by the Dutch to take the Philippines.
The Tagalog word for boat, "bangka" [baŋkaʔ], which is used in a number of Philippine languages, is derived from the Austronesian word bangka "outrigger canoe".
