A devastating earthquake hit
the province of Ilocos Norte on August 17, 1983, which recorded a
magnitude of 5.3 (MI) on the Richter Scale and an intensity 7 on the
Rossi-Forel scale. The tremor was strong enough to sustain a major
structural damage on the church's facade as well as toppling down the
bell tower.
Its rich heritage and intricate details of architecture, coupled with the other sets of criteria mandated by the National Museum Act of 1998, made the Sta. Monica Church Complex to the list of Important Cultural Property. The members of the deciding panel included Architect Augusto F. Villalon, Fr. Milan Ted D. Torralba, Ms. Anna Maria L. Harper, Fr. Rene B. Javellana and Mr. Cecilio G. Salcedo. Unveiling of the Important Cultural Property marker was held on September 27, 2009 by the National Museum director and was witnessed by the local government officials.
