What we found
We searched for this congregation and found it listed by name and exact address in the official register of the Episcopal Diocese of North Central Philippines, which records "Ascension Episcopal Church, Cabilisan, Pudong, Kapangan, Benguet" among its organized missions (ecphilippines.org), the diocese covering Baguio City and Benguet. A local parish site describes St. Andrew's in Paykek as the mother church of the Episcopal churches in Kapangan, including the Ascension Episcopal Mission at Cabilisan (saintandrewskapangan.wordpress.com), and Wikipedia's Kapangan article lists Ascension Episcopal Mission, Cabilisan, Pudong. A Baguio news report notes the current Philippine prime bishop was born in Cabilisan, Pudong, and was ordained priest in 1993 at the Ascension Church there (baguioheraldexpressonline.com). We found no scam reports, complaints or warnings, and no own website, social page or confirmation of the contact email.
Our conclusion: The independent search found this congregation listed by name and exact address, "Ascension Episcopal Church, Cabilisan, Pudong, Kapangan, Benguet," in the official register of organized missions of the Episcopal Diocese of North Central Philippines, which covers Baguio City and Benguet. A nearby parish site identifies St. Andrew's in Paykek as the mother church of the Episcopal congregations in Kapangan including the Ascension mission at Cabilis
