From Pandoyocan to Villasis town

Villasis was a mere barrio of Malasiqui in the early part of the 17th century and was known by its former name, “Pandoyocan.” The place had no fixed boundaries. It was simply a frontier settlement, a thickly forested region covering most of the southeastern parts of the province. Few people lived in this place due to the unavailability of open space for farming. In this thick forest however, was a nesting ground of bees called “oyocan”. The abundance of honey attracted Spaniards and inhabitants of neighboring places to settle in this village. Because of this, the place was called “Pandoyocan”, meaning “colony of bees.”

Today though, its accessibility to all kinds of land transportation has made Villasis a bustling center of trade and commerce. It is intersected by the Manila North Road from north to south; therefore allowing all major bus lines plying the Manila-Region I CAR route to pass through the town 24-hours a day. The main agricultural crops of the town are rice, corn, cassava, cabbage, varieties of vegetables and fruits. Raising livestock is another livelihood of the townspeople who raise poultry, swine, cattle and goats.
There are fifty-six (56) registered small to medium sized industries in Villasis. These include rice mills, metal craft industries, cement production, poultry raising and piggeries and an ice-plant.

Investment potentials (as of 1995), Villasis is an ideal site for investors in agro-industry for the following reasons; it is strategically located and accessible to all points of Luzon. It has well-developed infra-support facilities such as power, water, transportation and communication, a wide agricultural base and availability of skilled and disciplined labor force. It has one of the lowest crime rates in the region as well as having an efficient and traffic-free transport system, relatively low real estate value and strong people and LGU support.

Other potential investment areas include agri-based manufacturing industries due to abundant raw materials; banking; marketing due t available private spaces for shopping malls; and a plant for fertilizers for which there is a high domestic and export demand. Possible projects for the BOT scheme could involve the expansion of the public market or a new slaughterhouse.

Villasis is a second class municipality in the province of Pangasinan and according to the latest census it has a population of 56,668 people in 11,001 households. It is politically subdivided into 21 barangays as follows: Amamperez, Bacag, Barangobong, Barraca, Capulaan, Caramutan, La Paz, Labit, Lipay, Lomboy, Piaz (Plaza), Zone V (Pob.), Zone I (Pob.), Zone II (Pob.), Zone III (Pob.), Zone IV (Pob.), Puelay, San Blas, San Nicolas, Tombod and Unzad.

Urbiztondo graced after Spanish Gov. Gen. Antonio Urbiztondo

The living historical masterpiece of the town of Urbiztondo traced itself back to the year 1851 when it was founded by a pioneering man, Fructuso Vistro Sr. and a handful of enterprising and pioneering natives. The town Urbiztindo was christened after the surname of a Spanish Governor General of the Philippines, Gen. Antonio Urbiztondo, once and a conqueror of the Moros of Jolo.

Before the year 1851 however, when the town was already called by its present name, the place was called Vistro in honor of the founder, Fructuso Vistro Sr., and which at that time of the sitio of Vistro was located in Galarin overlooking Aguing. As years rolled by the people were then happy and contented, thus the township of Vistro was changed into her present name, Urbiztondo, with a new location which is the present site of Urbiztondo.

History has it that before and after her founding, Urbiztondo shared a part of that kind and gracious endowment of nature, being gifted and imbued with the historically famed Agno River which flooded the town with its rich inundations thus making the soil fertile. The beauty of nature has been spelled in her name as Urbiztondo at that time was a thick forest where wild animals roamed and few people dared to venture.

The early Christian Missionaries and Spanish conquistadores arrived and they staked the plaza, after which they constructed the church and the presidencia. They later laid the poblacion with the principal streets at the center of the municipality together with the houses of the leading inhabitants, especially the Spaniards. Far beyond the outskirts of the poblacion, they mapped out the agricultural lands, the fishing areas, the grazing lands, and the communal forests. Thus, the town of Urbiztondo was built following the pattern issued by the Spanish Crown.

Urbiztondo is a third class municipality in the province of Pangasinan and according to the latest census, it has a population of 43,430 people in 7,339 households. It has 21 barangays as follows: Angatel, Balangay, Batangcaoa, Baug, Bayaoas, Bituag, Camambugan, Dalangiring, Duplac, Galarin, Gueteb, Malaca, Malayo, Malibong, Pasibi East, Pasibi West, Pisuac, Poblacion, Real, Salavante and Sawat.

Umingan “Omega” municipality

To begin writing the history of Umingan is to recall the “vibrating voice” of a beautiful maiden which was heard about three centuries ago. It resounded, “Omega”. This was the beginning of how Umingan got its name. “Omega” is a Greek word signifying the “end” or the “last”. Geographically, the municipality is situated in the eastern “end” of the province. And so, its name reflects its geographical location.

But the story of the yearly journey of traders from the central towns of the province, gave more significant account on how Umingan was named. It had been said that before Martin de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo undertook their northward expeditions in 1571-1572, people from the “Kingdom of Luyag na Caboloan” came to the eastern regions to barter their products. This trade between the central towns and eastern communities of the province continued even after the Malong Rebellion in 1662.

People from Binalatongan, now San Carlos, Calasiao, Mangaldan and Manaoag traded their goods in big quantities with the people of east Pangasinan. The historical account stated that whenever the traders reached the small rivulet, the streamlet that still flows to this day, crossing the town south of the present public market, they always stopped to “end” their long journey at the point.

The first business caravans during their encampment saw a beautiful woman bathing in the tiny river. They asked her the name of the rivulet. She replied in “resounding rustic voice” that the stream was “Umingan.” From that time on, the people had been calling the place by that term. When the community was organized into a municipality, after it was separated from the town of Lupao, Nueve Ecija, it was named “Umingan.”

Umingan is a second class municipality in the province of Pangasinan and according to the 2007 census, it has a population of 62,497 people in 12,346 households.

Tayug “layug” municipality

The town of Tayug derived its name from the word “layug” which means “tall” in the Ilocano dialect.

During the early days of the settlement of the place there was a tall bacayao tree with an unusual height of about fifty meters. The people thus begin calling the place and surroundings as “Layug”. Meanwhile, the letter “L” in the word Layug was difficult for the people to pronounce so that it was later on changed to “T” by common usage, hence the name “Tayug.”

At the beginning the town was under the Augustinians, but was later on abandoned for unknown reasons in 1785. The Dominicans arrived on October 31, 1817 with Reverend Father Mathias Pelaez as the first Parish priest. The town was formally established on March 10, 1817 with Lorenzo Bernardo as Teniente Absoluto.

Tayug also became the inspiration of a local film producer who gave the nation, “Tayug : Ang Bayaning Api” and gained international recognition on Jan. 10, 1931. The film was based on a band of “colorum” rebels who attacked and burned the town’s constabulary barracks and burned all the documents of its municipal building.

Sual is provided with a natural port wherein boats can enter into and remain safe during typhoons. For Sual, when developed will serve as the window of the west and where products could be sold and transported to all parts of the world as when she was a port of entry during the Spanish time.

Sual was founded on May 20, 1805 when Don Rafael Maria Aguilar was Governor-General of the Philippines. Before that year however, Labrador was part and parcel of Sual. It was during the year 1834 when Domingo Villanueva was the Gobernadorcillo that the first parochial church was erected in the southeastern part of the Poblacion now the Catholic cemetery.

Sual got its name in the following story. Two Spaniards were visiting the town and they happened to see a native who was digging a hole with a spade. They asked him in Spanish, ” Como se ilama este pueblo,” meaning what is the name of this town. They looked at the spade and thinking that they were asking for the spade, he answered, “sual.” The Spaniards taking the word to be the name of the place called it Sual.

Sison municipality: Union of Alava and Artacho

The mother town of Sison is San Fabian. Bulaoan was formerly a big barrio of San Fabian in its eastern part. This barrio became a municipality named Alava in 1868 as a result of the petition of its residents dated August 24, 1867. Afterwards, its poblacion was moved to its present site.

About the year 1907, the township of Esperanza, northeast of Alava, was organized comprising the barrios of Pinmilapil, Agat, Sagunto, Cauringan, Bila and Colisao (now belonging to San Fabian). The same year, the township of Labayug, northeast of Pozorrubio, was also organized, comprising Inmalog, Calunetan, San Andres, Anibong, Bacayao and Kil-o.

Later, these two townships (Esperanza and Labayug) fused together to form the township of Artacho, making the present barrio of Artacho as its poblacion. The former town of Alava had been in a move to expand its jurisdiction. The township of Artacho had also a move to become a regular municipality. As a result of their efforts, they fused as one.

Incidentally, this fusion was sponsored by the late Senator Pedro Ma. Sison in the senate. When approved by congress, the late Governor Wood decreed that the fusion be made on May 1, 1918 - and the town was named Sison after its sponsor, Senator Sison.

Sto. Tomas municipality (Arango)

Santo Tomas, formerly known as “Arango” of the municipality of Alcala, was organized into a municipality for the first time in 1898. The organization came about when Don Jose Lorenzo, Don Fernando Mina, Don Antonio Purganan, with other old people of the community inspired by the desire for self-local government, planned to establish their barrio into a municipality. This was the later part of the revolutionary period.

The above-mentioned prominent people petitioned the then General Tinio of the revolutionary forces asking him to authorize them to organize their barrio into a municipality, completely separated from Alcala. The petition was considered and the desire of the people was granted.

So Arango was created and organized into a municipality by authority of Gen. Tinio. The name Arango however was changed to Sto. Tomas through the suggestion of one Fulgencio Andaya, a prominent pioneer-settler of the place. San Isidro should have been the name but it was opposed by the people on the ground that there were already places in Pangasinan so named.

Santo Tomas is a fifth class and smallest municipality in the province of Pangasinan and according to the 2000 census, it has a population of 12,304 people in 2,716 households.

Sta. Maria : Daughter of Tayug

Sta. Maria was formerly a barrio of the municipality of Tayug. It was founded on January 10,1855 and became a town under a rule of a Captain up to 1863. The following year, the municipality was fused to them municipality of Tayug because of its enability to maintain the financial stability of the town. It was in 1877 when its inhabitants have applied from the municipality of Tayug for separation as a distinct municipality. The application was granted and again it became a town under the rule of Captain Eugenio Vinluan.

About November, 1903, the Americans arrived in the locality and this time their rule began. In 1901, election for the president of the town during the military government of the United States of the islands, and due to the good administration of the president, he was given two years term.

Again in 1903, the municipality was fused to the town of Tayug until 1906 for some reasons as cited above, but in 1907 special election was held for the purpose of returning all small municipalities fused with bigger towns in 1903. Don Alejandro Gonzales was elected president up to 1910, when he was succeeded by Don Mariano de Guzman up to 1912. And from this date to the present the different successions of presidents, alcaldes and mayors had, as all over the islands, taken place.

Many years during the Spanish Regime, religion was the basis of educating the masses, so that from time to time missionaries of different orders were sent out to carry religious services as required of them. And that during the routinely visit of certain priest to the town of Asingan, then the most eastern town of the province of Pangasinan, had extended his mission farther east and came to see a place, located on a plain which through little effort could easily be irrigated by the Agno River; a kilometer away. He believed the placed could be developed into a prosperous community. Finding the residents to be hospitable he chatted with them. In the course of the conversation, he thought of giving the place a name. It was Virgin Mary’s Day, he then called the people around him and with a simple but impressive solemnity proclaimed the place as Sta. Maria to commemorate the day.

In the course of time the prominent people improved the locality and transferred the town site from Namagbagan now a barrio of the municipality to its present site near a clay promontory, which formed an impregnable defense against a yearly erosion of the Agno, thus annexing “De Pila” to the original word making Sta. Maria de Pila the final name, a name known beyond the confines of the province of Pangasinan. #

It was accepted by the Provincial Capital of 1743, while remaining still a part of the town of Calasiao. In the Chapter of 1745, without accepting her as Vicariate, a Vicar was given to her in the person of Father Benito Pereira. The original relics of the church were made 1776 by Father Casimero Lafuente in the last quarter of the last century. The brick convent, like the church and the “tribunal” was changed by the same Father Lafuente. Similarly, it was this same priest who arranged for the repair of the street of the town, and still other improvements, like the plan of the Poblacion and its beautiful plaza.

E. P. Tenza was constructing the cemetery when the revolution in 1898 broke out. The road which leads to Mangaldan was constructed by Father Boada and Quiros and the many brick culverts by Father Casanova and Lafuente.

A Confraternity of the Holy Rosary was founded inside the church just before the year 1805. Originally, it was 76.50 meters interior length and 18 meters in width.

San Quintin municipality (Don Quintin Lictawa)

Innumerable and countless years before 1864, the municipality of San Quintin was called Lango-lango, a distant barrio belonging to the municipality of Umingan, part of Nueva Ecija before, Pangasinan now.

Don Quintin Lictawa, a wood cutter, in quest for greener pastures, quinched his thirst and set foot on this barrio. Armed with an axe and a bolo, he began clearing the site which abounds with huge trees. Day in and day out, he braved the scorching heat of the sun during the dry season and dared thunder and lightning during the rainy season, amidst back-breaking toil, in order that his children and his children’s children maybe able to live a life of comfort. Due to his industry however, he died clearing the place. In view of the thickness of the once-upon-a-time wilderness, his death was not a bit noticed by the immediate members of his family because it was his custom to stay out in the jungle thickness as long as he feels like staying so.

In 1864 when the Spaniards came across the place and begun to organize the municipality, a body that was in the state of decomposition was discovered. It was later ascertained that the body was that of Don Quintin Lictawa which was identified by his axe. A lot of praise was said about Don Quintin Lictawa in view of his “saintly” ideas, the Spaniards baptized the place as SAN QUINTIN in honor of Don Quintin Lictawa.

San Nicolas named after founder Nicolas Patricio y Mejia

Well-informed old-timers in the municipality of San Nicolas say that the town was founded in the year 1800 by Nicolas Patricio with his wife, Isidra Sangalang and a handful of followers - Jose Castillo, Raymundo Umaguing, Bernardo Alimorong, and others, who in 1780 started their exodus from the towns of San Jacinto and San Fabian to this part of the province with the missionary zeal of making this municipality a better place to live in.

With the joint approval of his followers and the Igorots who can be aptly called as the aborigines of this town, Nicolas Patricio y Mejia was appointed as their Kapitan (President) in the year 1818. During his incumbency, the bond of their union was greatly strengthened as evidenced by later historical events. He led them towards the realization of their obsession. His ideals led them where his heart followed.

In grateful recognition of his sacrifices and excellent leadership, his people christened this particular settlement after his name and eventually adopted San Nicolas de Tolentino as their patron saint.

San Manuel municipality named after Don Manuel Sequig

The history of San Manuel dates back to 1614, the year Lingayen became a town. According to the pamphlet published by Mr. Crispo Baclit, “Ti Ababa Nga Pakasaritaan Ti Ili a San Manuel, Pangasinan,” San Manuel is not a daughter town of Asingan as some assert. It had been in existence as a town for forty-four (44) years before Asingan assumed the same political status.

However, San Manuel was absorbed as a barrio of Asingan after it had been in existence for a period of one hundred forty-four (144) years. The town was named after Don Manuel Sequig, the founder and leader of the first settlers who explored the virgin forest from the bank of the Agno River towards the grassy lands of the west and to the foot of the Caraballo Mountain in the north.

When San Manuel became a town in 1614, the site of the Poblacion was in Pau, now known as Curibetbet and it had a population of 2,023. As the population continued to swell in 1688, the inhabitants thought of erecting the first church and convent. It was also in the same year that Asingan was laying out its town site in a place called Sinapug.

In 1720, the church and convent built in Pau were burned and the people believed that it was a bad omen and so they abandoned the site and went to Sinapug to live. This was then the time when San Manuel was absorbed by Asingan for the first time.

However, some of the inhabitants moved westward to the place called Guiset, a name given to San Manuel derived from the great bamboo thickets that were plentiful during that time. In 1860, San Manuel separated from Asingan and became a town for the second time but its site was no longer Pau but in its present site.

For a brief period, from 1903 to 1907, due to lack of funds San Manuel was again absorbed by Asingan for the second time.

San Manuel is a first class municipality in the eastern part province of Pangasinan and according to the 2000 census it has a population of 41,206 people in 8,644 households. It is politically subdivided into 14 barangays namely:

San Antonio-Arzadon * Cabacaraan * Cabaritan * Flores * Guiset Norte (Pob.) * Guiset Sur (Pob.) * Lapalo * Nagsaag * Narra * San Bonifacio * San Juan * San Roque * San Vicente * Santo Domingo

Municipality of San Jacinto: Son of Mangaldan

The town of San Jacinto was founded in the year 1601, marked by the event of laying a cornerstone of the Catholic Church and the convent by the Spanish Priest Fr. Herminigildo Melgar. With the completion of the church and convent the town began to exist as a separate municipality from Mangaldan as it was then a part of said town before 1601.
The first Capitan of the municipality was Don Diego Agbunag and the last Capitan Municipal was Don Bernardo Lopez, who held the position from 1894-1895 the year when the Spanish rule came to an end.

On January 23, 1870, the Alcalde Mayor of the Province of Pangasinan, came to San Jacinto and proceeded to Claris to inaugurate the newly created town of Pozorrubio, formerly a barrio belonging to San Jacinto. In the year 1892, the strongest earthquake occurred in San Jacinto destroying the church, the convent, the tower and the municipal building as well.
