Betis Church independent town which had its own autonomy as a municipality. But due to migration of its inhabitants to the nearby Guagua during the American Period, it was merged into a town in 1904 under the Act 943. Today, although part of the municipality of Guagua, the Betis church has its own parochial priest and has its patron saint named St. James the Great. Betis as a town traces its roots way before the period of Spanish colonization which began in the 16th century. The town already had a unique culture and way of life prior to Spanish occupation.
