Teresita Castillo also known as Sister Teresing (born: July 4, 1927) is a Roman Catholic religious who reported Marian apparitions in Lipa City, Philippines for several years since 1949. 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 bishop later recanted on his deathbed, and a new investigation was opened in 1991.
The alleged apparition of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces has received formal approval from the Archdiocese of Lipa in 2009, and is currently pending investigation by the Holy See.
