Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the patron saint of Enrique Villanueva, and the town's Roman Catholic parish church carries her name. The Catholic directory GCatholic lists it under the Diocese of Dumaguete and dates the parish to 1953. It is a working parish church, so modest dress is appropriate and mass times vary.
Good to know: A working parish church. Dress modestly (covered shoulders and knees are a common expectation) and avoid walking around during services. Mass times and visiting hours are not listed here, so check locally. Ask before photographing worshippers.
