Fr. Joaquin Boiser was the first parish priest of Argao who wasn't from the Spanish period. He came to Argao in 1914, the year of Fr. Bartolome del Carmen's death. Succeeding a very beloved figure of Argao was not an easy task, and, in Fr. Boiser's case, he faced challenges to his author almost as soon as he started his term as cura. He had a lengthy conflict with the municipal government that led to his arrest and incarceration, the arrest of several of his workers, and his filing of several cases against many prominent men from Argao.His term as parish priest was precarious, and he went through several petitions to be removed as cura of the parish. He was finally transferred in 1932.
