| abstract | - Teresita Castillo was a Roman Catholic nun who reported Marian apparitions in Lipa City, Philippines for several years since 1949. The Carmelite Convent in Lipa, the site of the reported apparitions, is now the subject of major pilgrimages in the Philippines, some attended by the president of Philippines. These reported apparitions have been the subject of controversy. An initial investigation report in 1951 was signed by 6 Roman Catholic bishops and declared the Lipa apparitions as "non-supernatural". However, one bishops later recanted on his deathbed, and a new investigation was reported in 1991. The apparitions in Lipa have yet not received approval from the local bishop, or the Holy See and are still under investigation.
