According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 255,116 people.  It is a city located in the western province of Palawan, and is the westernmost city in the Philippines. Though the seat of government and capital for the province, the city itself is one of 38 independent cities within the Philippines not controlled by the province in which it is geographically located and is therefore an independent area located within Palawan.
  52.  
  53. It is the least densely populated city in the Philippines. In terms of land area, the city is the second largest geographically after Davao City with an area of 2,381.02 square kilometres (919.32 sq mi). Puerto Princesa is the location of the Philippines&#39; Western Command headquarters.Today, Puerto Princesa is a tourist city with many beach resorts and seafood restaurants. It has been acclaimed several times as the cleanest and greenest city in the Philippines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;roboto, arial, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;Etymology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

It is said to have been attributed by locals to a princess-like maiden who roam the place at certain nights of the year, while other accounts attributed its geographical advantage as a seaport which is a naturally protected area due to its surrounding mountains, and is characterized by a depth able to accommodate any size of shipping vessel. Historically, this place was originally named Port Asuncion after Princess Asuncion, one of the princesses born to Isabella II of Spain and her consort, Francis, Duke of Cádiz. When the princess suffered an untimely death, the Queen changed the name to Puerto de la Princesa. Eventually, the name was shortened to Puerto Princesa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;roboto, arial, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;History&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Spanish period&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Spanish colonizers founded the settlement on March 4, 1872 in the course of their exploration of the province. As they scanned the Palawan shoreline for a capital site, they came upon a hill with steep declivity. Rowing to shore, they surveyed the hill and discovered an extensive plateau which they decided as ideal for settlement.
  56. Soon after, Fr. Antonio Muro levelled a portion of the hill to make way for a chapel (that section is now occupied by the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the P.C. Barracks and the Rizal Park, the Old Municipal Building used to be there, as well as an Elementary School). The first mass celebrated in Puerto Princesa took place at a site where a marker now stands.
  57.  
  58. In May 1872, the Port of Puerto Princesa became the center of Spanish Naval Operations in the area because the Bay met all the Navy&#39;s requirements. Royal Decrees later provided incentives to settlers, and by 1883 the settlement had flourished into a town of twelve roads, a hospital and well-built port.
  59.  
  60. In 1894, Puerto Princesa was recognized by government authorities as one of the most beautiful towns in the country by virtue of the orderly distribution of streets, buildings and houses as well as the cleanliness of the community&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;roboto, arial, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;American Period and World War II&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;In 1911, the New American Administration made Puerto Princesa the seat of the Palawan Provincial Government with Major John Brown as Lieutenant Governor.
  61.  In the year 1936, Governor Heginio Mendoza made a directive on the transfer of the Palawan High School (currently Palawan National School) from the island municipality of Cuyo to the central place of the province, which was the Municipality of Puerto Princesa. During WWII and the Japanese occupation, the village was largely abandoned. On May 18, 1942, Japanese troops landed and occupied Puerto Princesa City. The Filipino Constabulary barracks was the scene of the Palawan Massacre, just before liberation with the allied Invasion of Palawan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;roboto, arial, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;Post - World War II&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;In 1951, the barrios of Tinitian, Caramay, Rizal, Del Pilar, Malcampo, Tumarbong, Taradungan, Ilian, and Capayas were separated to form the town of Roxas.

  91. History&lt;/h4&gt;
  92. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;On March 25, 1952, leader of Nueva Ecija composed of then Governor Leopoldo Diaz, Congressman Jesus Ilagan, and Board Members Dioscoro de Leon and Antonio Corpuz, Don Felipe Buencamino and all Mayors of Nueva Ecija called a special consultation meeting in Manila to discuss and consider the transfer of the capital of Nueva Ecija from Cabanatuan to other municipality. Several locations and proposals were suggested, specifically Gapan, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Guimba, Talavera, General Tinio, Baloc (present-day Santo Domingo), Muñoz and Government Stock Farm within Laur and Bongabon. After hours of lengthy and conscientious deliberation, it was unanimously agreed that the Government Stock Farm be made as the capitol site.&lt;br /&gt;
  93. &lt;br /&gt;
  94. In 1955, President Ramon Magsaysay declared the portion of the territorial area of the Government Stock Farm as open for settlement as NG-130 pursuant to presidential Proclamation No. 237.&lt;br /&gt;
  95. &lt;br /&gt;
  96. On June 19, 1965, the Congress of the Philippines enacted Republic Act 4475 creating Palayan City as the new capital of Nueva Ecija.[5] While the stock farm is not virtually rice land, &quot;Palayan&quot; was chosen as its name, the province being dubbed as the Rice Granary of the region and the country. Finally, the city government of Palayan was constituted December 5, 1965 with then Governor Eduardo L. Joson as its Ex-Officio Mayor while the Board Members Constituted its first City Council. Meanwhile, Iglesia ni Cristo, under the Administration, bought a large tract of land near Laur and encompasses Palayan City to shelter affected INC members working in Hacienda Luisita which was evicted and voluntarily left the Hacienda in order to prevent bloodshed and violence due to their disbandment on the union.&lt;br /&gt;
  97. &lt;br /&gt;
  98. On August 1969, the city was enlarged by virtue of Republic Act 6052 authored by then Congressman Angel Concepcion which provided for the inclusion of the Military Reservation in Laur and Fort Magsaysay Cantonment area within the municipality of Santa Rosa.&lt;br /&gt;
  99. &lt;br /&gt;

In the subsequent local election, they were elected as first elective local officials including Councilors Flor Agustin, Tranquilino dela Cruz, Antonio Pascual, Federico Dacanay, Luis Lacalle and Thomas Lumawig. The year 1969 also placed Palayan City in the map of national and international scene when it hosted the National Jamboree attended by thousand scouts and even foreign scouts from other countries.&lt;br /&gt;
  101. &lt;br /&gt;
  102. In 1972, by virtue of Proclamation No. 893, portion of the Government Stock Farm was allocated for the displaced population of Pantabangan because of the construction of the dam. The resettlement site was eventually converted into regular barangay known as Marcos Village.&lt;br /&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;
  104. In 1983, the training ground of the Philippine Army was transferred to Fort Magsaysay from Fort Bonifacio in Metro Manila. This paved the way for the development of the reservation area into a training complex to serve the army’s training requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
  105. &lt;br /&gt;
  106. During the historical EDSA Revolution on February 1986, nationwide overhaul of government leaderships from national to local took place. Don Pacifico M. Fajardo was appointed Officer-In-Charge together with Flor Agustin as OIC Vice Mayor by then President Corazon C. Aquino. Then his brother Engr. Virgilio Fajardo also assumed as OIC.&lt;br /&gt;
  107. &lt;br /&gt;
  108. Then prior to 1987 election, Vice Mayor Felipe Bautista took office as OIC with councilor Aquiles Salcedo, Sr. as OIC Vice Mayor and on that election, Pacifico M.Fajardo and mabini Ancheta won the mayoralty and vice mayoralty race respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
  109. &lt;br /&gt;
  110. Palayan is also the birthplace of the Asianwide Green Scouts Movement in 1993 when the first RP-Japan Bilatateral Ecology Work Camp was held in the city that eventually led to the establishment of project: Kawayang Buhay and Asian Ecology Forest being supported by the Asian Friendship Society.&lt;br /&gt;
  111. &lt;br /&gt;
  112. On 1995, two more barangays were added to Palayan City from 18 to 20. Barangays Popolon formerly of Bongabon was annexed by virtue of Republic Act No. 8030 and approval of the people in a plebiscite on October 1, 1995. Then Bagong Buhay, one of the three resettlement areas was converted to a regular barangay during a plebiscite on November 26, 1995.&lt;br /&gt;
  113. &lt;br /&gt;
  114. In 2002, the construction of the new capitol in Palayan City was completed. The Provincial Museum of Nueva Ecija is located in the new capitol building. A technology-business park was planned but progress about the plan has not been updated for at least 3 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iglesia ni Cristo, on the other hand, have 9 Local Congregations or Places of Worship in Palayan alone including the INC Resettlement Areas in two barangays namely Barrio Maligaya and Bagong Buhay where all of the residents are members of this religious organization. Barrio Maligaya is the resettlement area where INC workers from Hacienda Luisita settled. Bagong Buhay is the resettlement area for victims of Mount Pinatubo&#39;s eruption. Islam comprises about 3% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 141,828 people.&lt;br /&gt;
  140. &lt;br /&gt;
  141. Although occasionally spelled as Ozamis in official sources, City Resolution 251-05 officially spelled Ozamiz with a &quot;z&quot; as its last letter rather than with an &quot;s&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  142. &lt;br /&gt;
  143. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  144. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.32px; font-weight: 700;&quot;&gt;History&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Other unverified historical sources, however, suggest that the name Misamis came from &quot;Misa&quot; after the Catholic Mass. The origin and the growth of the old Spanish town, Misamis, was due to the presence of the Spanish garrison stationed at the stone fort named Nuestra Senora dela Concepcion del Triunfo, which was constructed some time in the 18th century in order to control the pirate activities originating in the nearby Lanao area. In 1850, the town of Misamis became the capital of the District of Misamis.&lt;br /&gt;
  146. &lt;br /&gt;
  147. In October 1942 Wendell Fertig established the command headquarters of the growing guerrilla resistance to the Japanese occupation of Mindanao in the Spanish fort in the city. His headquarters was abandoned June 26, 1943, in the face of a large Japanese attack. Until the end of the war the Japanese occupied this fort. The Ozamiz city website said of this, &quot;During the Japanese occupation of Misamis in World War II(1943-1945), the &quot;Cotta&quot; was garrisoned by a contingent of Japanese who dug foxholes near or under the walls. This undermining of walls later led to the destruction of the Southwest bastion in the earthquake of 1955.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  148. &lt;br /&gt;
  149. After the Second World War, Misamis became a chartered city by virtue of Republic Act 321 on July 16, 1948. RA 321 also renamed Misamis to Ozamiz after a WW-II hero José Ozámiz who hailed from the province of Misamis Occidental and who at one time also served as its governor and congressional representative of the Lone District of Misamis Occidental, a delegate to the 1935 Constitutional Convention that resulted in the creation of the 1935 Constitution for the Philippine Commonwealth Government. In 1941, José Ozámiz was elected to the Philippine Senate.&lt;br /&gt;

A special chapel was built inside the walls of the fort and an image of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception, in the pink and blue attire, was enshrined in the chapel and outside the fort on the wall facing the bay, was a carved image of the Virgin Mary (Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción y del Triunfo de la Cruz de Migpangi). The image on the Cotta&#39;s wall is believed to be miraculously growing and has been the object of pilgrimage. The fort was renovated and restored to its original design in 2006. Cotta will undergo improvement and development with construction of a boulevard with a Spanish galleon replica, cotta park with parking area, a mini commercial complex for food stalls, ticketing offices, restos, cafes and souvenir shops.&lt;br /&gt;
  175. Bukagan Hill has a view of the city, Panguil bay, the provinces of Lanao del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur. There are four great bells at the top of Bukagan Hill. The bells were named after &quot;St. Peter&quot;, &quot;St. Marien&quot;, &quot;St. Joseph&quot; and &quot;St. Michael&quot; and were originally purchased by Bishop Patrick Cronin, D.D. for the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. However, the bells weigh 7 tons and were found to be too heavy and too large for the cathedral&#39;s belfry. The people felt that it was very expensive to construct a special belfry for them considering that a lot of fund raising effort was made for the building of the cathedral and the installing of the pipe organ. It was through the efforts of then City Mayor Fernando T. Bernad that the bells were finally given a place at the Bukagan Hill. With the help of Jesus Y. Varela, the huge bells were installed in Bukagan Hill Bells and officially inaugurated on July 16, 1948.&lt;br /&gt;

  178. Immaculate Conception Pipe organ, found in the choir loft of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, is the only existing pipe organ in Mindanao and one among the few throughout the country. An Irish Columban priest, Father Sean Lavery, who was in charge of the liturgical and musical development in the Immaculate Conception Cathedral realized the need for an organ. Funds were raised through donations and a musical extravaganza organized by the parish raised enough money to buy the pipe organ. Father Lavery asked the help of a German priest, Father Herman Schablitzki S.V.D., who came to Ozamiz to get the specification needed to guide the organ builders in Germany. Father Schablitzki himself, assisted by one carpenter and one electrician, assembled the organ in six weeks and it was completed on May 31, 1967. It was inaugurated on July 16, 1967; the feast day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.&lt;br /&gt;

It was one of the early designs of national artist for architecture Leandro Locsin. his simple style of squares, circles, and half circles are evident in the external and internal designs of the church. The facade was later changed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  185. Ozamiz Airport, also known as Labo Airport, was reopened July 5, 2007, 9 years after Philippine Airlines (PAL) stopped their operations using Fokker 50 and Sunriser planes and eventually went the airport to its closure due to its short runway in which cannot accommodate jet planes. Air Philippines, (a subsidiary airline of PAL), was the first airline served the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila using a B737-200 which is also the first jet plane to land the airport while PAL Express (another PAL subsidiary), was then served direct flights to the Mactan–Cebu International Airport again using their Bombardier Q400.&lt;br /&gt;
  186. &lt;br /&gt;
  187. PAL&#39;s competitor, Cebu Pacific Air later opened their service in Ozamiz with its first flight to Cebu on November 10, 2008 using their brand-new ATR72-500. With high demand of passengers, cargo and tourist arrivals, Cebu Pacific then launched its Manila route with their Airbus 319, while PAL took over Air Philippines service to Manila using also the Airbus 319 last June 16, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
  188. &lt;br /&gt;
  189. When Air Philippines took its rebranding as Airphil Express (now PAL Express), it then relaunched its Ozamiz to Manila flight last August 18, 2011 using their Airbus A320. It then forces Cebu Pacific to change its aircraft to replace all of their ATR72-500 that serves Ozamiz Airport to an Airbus A319 and Airbus A320. Despite fierce competition between PAL and Cebu Pacific, PAL ended their operations in Ozamiz last March 25, 2012, leaving their affiliate PAL Express to compete with Cebu Pacific. Since then, the competition between PAL Express and Cebu Pacific became the duopoly in serving to and from the airport.&lt;br /&gt;

The early settlers then of the barrio were Boholanos. They found so many stray animals along the river, thus they named the place Layawan, which means a place of stray animals. A little later, Misamis was divided into two provinces, Misamis Occidental and Oriental. Then in 1880, Layawan changed its name to Oroquieta when it became a town.  Oroquieta became the capital (cabecera) on January 6, 1930. As capital town, people of various neighboring provinces came and inhabited in the place where they earn their living through fishing, farming, merchandising and other forms of businesses. Soon afterwards its income increased simultaneously with increase in population.  In 1942, Oroquieta was made the capital of the free Philippines by the recognized guerrillas and later the ongoing troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army. (Personal interview with the late Atty. Vicente Blanco, Municipal Mayor during the Japanese Occupation) During this time, President Manuel L. Quezon, together with Sergio Osmeña Sr., a bodyguard and Major Manuel Nieto Sr., landed in Oroquieta after their evacuation from Corregidor to Australia.  The seat of government of the Free Philippines then was the Capitol. The Free Philippine Government was then issuing Misamis Occidental emergency notes. President Quezon, upon knowing that Oroquieta was made a capital of the Free Philippines and that the town was issuing emergency notes, authorized the Printing of the Mindanao emergency note.  Oroquieta was created a city under Republic Act 5518 and inaugurated as a chartered city on January 1, 1970. The charter converting the municipality of Oroquieta into a city were signed by President Marcos on June 25, 1969, in the presence of the then City Mayor Ciriaco C. Pastrano, with the newly elected councilors and other city officials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 249,463 people.&lt;br /&gt;
  250. &lt;br /&gt;
  251. It is known as the Commercial Fishing Hub of the Philippines where the city has the third largest fish port in Asia and the largest in Southeast Asia. Although it was established on December 20, 1827, Navotas celebrates its foundation day every January 16. Navotas became a highly urbanized city on June 24, 2007&lt;br /&gt;

According to one legend, the long and narrow delta extended unbroken from north to south along the seashore. The strip of land between the former district of Tondo, Manila and this town was eaten away by the sea until an opening was made. Water began to flow through the opening. The geographical change prompted the people to refer to the place as &quot;butas&quot;, &quot;nayon ng butas&quot;, or &quot;nabutas&quot;, a Tagalog word that means breached or pierced through. What began as a natural channel developed into a regular waterway, now known as the Navotas River. In later years, the place came to be known as &quot;Nabotas&quot;, then &quot;Navotas&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  255. &lt;br /&gt;
  256. It was also known as Hacienda de Navotas; it was once owned by the Dominican friars until it was sold to the Pascual family during the early days of the American regime and developed into a residential estate.&lt;br /&gt;
  257. &lt;br /&gt;
  258. San Jose de Navotas was the name given to the locality after its patron saint, Saint Joseph. On June 11, 1859, a &quot;Superior Decreto&quot; established a new parish and municipality under the supervision of Friar Matias Navoa. The populace was divided into two distinct groups, the naturales (locals) and the mestizos. Mariano Estrellas was the gobernadorcillo (petty governor) of the naturales and Mariano Israel, of the mestizos. Today, because records are incomplete, recognition is only given to the gobernadorcillos for the mestizos. A school in honor of San Jose was built and known as &quot;San Jose Academy.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

  261. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;helvetica&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt; Years ago, the town of Navotas was not known by its present name for it was only considered as part of Malabon. The place appeared to be a long and narrow delta with a thick line of pandan leaves, which grew abundantly extending from north to south along the seashore. It was believed that long ago, the town was not entirely surrounded by water. Old folks believed that the layer of land between the former district of Tondo, Manila and this town was probably soft and weak, such that the turbulent waters of the bay gradually eroded a portion of the land, until an opening was made. Soon seawater begun to flow through its opening especially during high tide. At low tide, the waters from inland flowed out into the sea. This geographical change prompted the people to refer to the place as “nabutas” which means breached or pierced through. This developed into a regular waterway, now known as the Navotas River. In later years, the whole place came to be known as Navotas. 4 The movement for a separate Navotas, which was by that time part of Tambobong, now Malabon started on December 20, 1827 when the “principales” of the three barrios of San Jose, Navotas, and Bangkulasi petitioned the Spanish Government to form a new town citing among others, the difficulty of the people to transact business and attend religious festivities of the mother town. On October 31, 1832, the residents of the three barrios nominated Don Bernabe Francisco to represent them in their fight for separation from Malabon. But the petition of the principales of the three barrios was shelved by the government on September 19, 1855 pending the putting up by the people of Navotas of a church, convent, and a town hall that symbolized their sincerity. In spite of the determined efforts of the principales, their petition was again disapproved on August 19, 1856. Instead of being discouraged, the successive rebuff only served to prod them to work harder. Finally, a document dated February 16, 1859 recorded the separation of barrios San Jose, Navotas, and Bangkulasi from Malabon. When the Philippine Revolution broke out in 1896, Navotas formally joined the revolutionary government of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo on August 6, 1898. On June 11, 1901, the town of Navotas was incorporated into the newly created province of Rizal by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 137. In 1903, by virtue of the Philippine Commission Act No. 942, the municipalities of Malabon and Navotas were merged into one by which the former was chosen as the seat of government for economic and centralization purposes. Bernardo Dagala of Navotas fought for the separation of Navotas from Malabon, finally, Navotas gained full independence as a distinct municipality through the enforcement of the Philippine Commission Act No. 142 lasts January 16, 1906. On November 1975, in the exercise of emergency power during martial law of then President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Presidential Decree No. 824 created the Metropolitan Manila Commission, which placed Navotas together with twelve (12), other municipalities of Rizal and the four (4) cities under its jurisdiction. Today, Navotas, after a long wait, was proclaimed as a full-pledge city last June 24, 2007, upon obtaining 12,544 affirmative votes on a plebiscite. Navotas, together with the other fifteen (15) cities and one (1) municipality (Pateros) remain part of Metropolitan Manila, particularly of the National Capital Region (NCR). As mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991, this LGU is also guided by various devolved, deconcentrated and concerned National Government Agencies likewise encouraging the support and participation of the Non-Government Organization on its undertaking towards national development.5&lt;br /&gt;

It is a narrow strip of land with an aggregated shoreline of approximately 4.5 km. In the north, Navotas shares a common border with the town of Obando, Bulacan, along Sukol Creek which separates it from Balt. Along the eastern border runs the Binuangan River, the Daang Cawayan River, the Dampalit River, the Batasan River, the Navotas River, the Bangculasi Channel, the Malabon Channel and the Estero de Maypajo.&lt;br /&gt;

  267. It is bordered on the north by Obando, Bulacan along Sukol Creek; on the south by the city of Manila; on the east by Daang Binuangan River, Bangkulasi Channel, Malabon Channel and Estero de Maypajo; and on the west by Manila Bay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

However, as this locality was composed of two groups the naturales and the mestizos, each of which had its own governadorcillo appointed by the governor-general who was the supreme authority in all local matters, since the inhabitants did not allow choosing their officials. This political system was somehow revoked at the end of the Spanish Regime through the Maura Law of 1883, which guided some of the selected officials to the supervision of an insular authority. During the revolutionary period (from 1898-1902), as the democratic system of local governance was being established via the First Philippines Republic and Malolos Constitution, people of Navotas with high character, social position and honorable conduct gathered in a meeting and elected the chief of the town, the headman of the barrio (barangay) and three officials viz., for police and internal order, justice and civil registry, and taxes and property. In this situation, these elected officials constitute an assembly wherein the chief of the town was the president, the headman, the vice-president, and the justice officer the secretary. In this period, the name of Navotas LGU and its head were changed from &quot;pueblo to municipality&quot; and from &quot;President to Mayor&quot;. Philippine Commission, which exercised supervision over local government, appointed the first local official. Gradually, election of officials was allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
  271. &lt;br /&gt;
  272. During the period of the Philippine Commonwealth (from 1935-1945), the 1935 constitution ushered. This provided that the President of the Philippines should exercise general supervision over all local governments. This allowed Navotas to have three leaders. This trend from 1946 to 1972 (during the second Philippine Republic) was toward decentralization. Congress passed laws giving more autonomy to Local Government Units through the grant of additional powers and lessening of national control affairs. This created four (4) Mayors of Navotas. During the Martial Law Period, President Marcos had changed the structure and functions of LGU&#39;s, thus decentralization suffered the set back with the concentration of power on his hands. After December 31, 1975 (expiration of tenure of office of the local elective officials), the President assumed the power of appointment of the officials as authorized by the people in a referendum held on 27 February 1975. During the Marcos Regime, Navotas had two Mayors.&lt;br /&gt;
  273. &lt;br /&gt;
  274. Navotas was proclaimed as a full-fledged city by virtue of RA 9387 that converted the municipality of Navotas into a highly urbanized city. A plebiscite was held on June 24, 2007 which was ratified the conversion of Navotas into a highly urbanized city.&lt;br /&gt;

  294. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  295. The City of Ormoc, the center of commerce and industry on the western part of Leyte, is the first non-provincial capital city of the Philippines. It is a showcase of progress and modernity even as its history is a saga of sacrifices, toils and privations of its founders.&lt;/div&gt;
  296. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  297. Before the Portuguese navigator, Ferdinand Magellan, reached Leyte in 1521, a handful of Malayan families lived in a small settlement called “OGMOK”, an old Visayan term for lowland or depressed plain. “OGMOK” was also the name of a spring located between the present barangays of Donghol and Mahayag. The name ORMOC, evidently, is the variation of the original name and came into use with the coming of the Spanish Conquistadores and the migration of people from the neighboring towns and islands to settle in its fertile plains.&lt;/div&gt;
  298. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  299. The primitive Malayans had some well-developed trade and commerce with the Chinese, Javanese and Indonesians who frequented the islands in their junks, vintas and sailboats. Pigafetta, the Spanish historian, mention “OGMOK” in his chronicles as one place in Leyte where Magellan touched in search of food and water in March 1521. On July 16, 1595, Father Chirino and the other Jesuit missionaries arrived in Leyte. In May 1597, Fathers Alonso Rodriguez and Leonardo Scelsi founded the mission of Ormoc. This date marked the conversion of the Ogmokanons to Christianity.&lt;/div&gt;
  300. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  301. Ormoc, being a seacoast village, was always raided and constantly harassed by Moro pirates every now and then. Privacy and brigandage were fought by the Malayans of Ogmok, Baybay and Palompon (mother town of Ogmok). These towns established a “grapevine” communication system, “runners”, from the watch towers built to inform and warn the inhabitants of the presence of Moro vintas sighted far out to sea.&lt;/div&gt;
  302. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  303. Early in 1634, Raja Bugsu, ruler of Sulu, captured 300 natives from Ormoc after a successful attack in Camarines. To protect the people, the Jesuit Juan del Carpio constructed fortifications, which were attacked by the Maguindanaus before its completion. On December 3, 1634, the notorious pirate Katsil Kunalat (Kudarat) invaded Ogmok fresh from his invasion, pillage and plunder of the towns of Sogod, Kabalian, Kanamokan (now Inopacan) and Baybay. Fifty brave Ogmokanons fought the invaders furiously but were annihilated by sheer superiority of arms and number of the enemy. The defenders were massacred up to the last man inside the fort that defended the town and Carpio was killed.&lt;/div&gt;
  304. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  305. In 1788, the Augustinians took over the missions in Leyte after the Jesuits were expelled. On February 26, 1834, Ormoc was separated from her mother town Palompon and created into a separate and distinct municipality. The following month, March 1834, saw the formal inauguration of the Ormoc Catholic Parish with Rev. Fr. Bibiano Luciano as first curate. The line of chief executives of the Ormoc civil government is equally impressive. Immediately after the creation of Ormoc as a municipio in 1834, one Sofronio Cabiling was appointed Capitan to head the gobierno municipal. His successor capitanes were Gregorio Sacay, Epifanio Ortiz, Agaton Aparis, Inocentes Eamiguel, Rosendo Daffon, Fernando Bañez, Nicolas Torres, Mateo Solidor and Leon Aviles.&lt;/div&gt;
  306. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  307. During the Philippine revolution, Leyte became involved only several months after its outbreak in August 1896. The Revolutionary Government represented by General Vicente Lukban took possession of Leyte.&lt;/div&gt;
  308. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  309. Shortly after the Americans defeated the Spaniards and later the Filipinos, a civil government was established in Leyte in April 22, 1901. However, an Ormocanon by the name of Faustino Ablen organized the pulahanes movement, a resistance group, which was eventually defeated by the American forces; but the heroism of Faustino Ablen became the symbol of the Ormocanons courage and bravery.&lt;/div&gt;
  310. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  311. With the establishment of the American controlled civil government following the termination of the Spanish-American War at the turn of the century, Ormoc’s town executives assumed the title of Municipal President with Dr. Fernando Calderon acting as the first and last appointed official to this post. Atty. Victorio Laurente was the last elected Municipal President. During the first term of Atty. Victorio Laurente, the Commonwealth Government came into existence on November 15, 1935. The town executive sported the title Alcalde Municipal or Municipal Mayor. Under this category the following mayors served the Municipality of Ormoc: Victorio Laurente, second term, 1938-1941; Catalino Hermosilla, 1941-1943 (replaced on the third year of his term by the Japanese Government appointing in his place Jose Codilla, 1943- 1944). The Resistance Government appointed Potenciano Larrazabal, 1944-1945 ratified amd confirmed later by the American Liberation Army.&lt;/div&gt;
  312. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  313. When World War II broke out, Japanese Imperial forces occupied the province of Leyte on May 25, 1942. Consequently, resistance units were organized; among them was the Western Leyte Welfare Forces. On November 6, 1944, the decisive and historic battle of Ormoc “Corridor”, a three-pronged attack by the combined forces of the Americans and Filipinos encircled and placed the Yamashita Line completely under control. The American 77th Division landed at Deposito, about 3 miles south of Ormoc, on the 77th of December; captured Camp Downer on the 9th; and entered Ormoc the next day despite enemy opposition.&lt;/div&gt;
  314. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  315. Ormoc became a city through Republic Act No. 179 fathered by Congressman Dominador Tan, which was approved on June 21, 1947. The late first President of the Philippines Republic Manuel A. Roxas proclaimed Ormoc City a City on September 4, 1947. By virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 42, Ormoc was formally inaugurated as a city on October 20, 1947, exactly three years after the famous Leyte Landing.&lt;/div&gt;
  316. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  317. From a small town of dirt roads and a few asphalt streets of the 1950s, Ormoc has metamorphosed into an expanding jungle of concrete and infrastructures. Wide concrete roads and bridges, well-equipped government and private hospitals and clinics, airport facilities, banking and financing institutions, commercial and trade establishments, housing projects, factories and industrial plants, all are eloquent evidences of modern development and progress thrusts.&lt;/div&gt;
  318. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  319. Prominent mayors who were instrumental in directing Ormoc City on the road to progress from the ravages of war during this period were the late Mayor Marcelo Bandalan, the first appointed mayor of the City of Ormoc. Then, Esteban Conejos Sr., the last appointed mayor (1957-1959) and the first elected mayor (1959-1963), followed by Iñaki A. Larrazabal Sr. who was appointed as mayor on 1948-1949 and 1953-1954; elected as mayor from 1967-1971 and re-elected 1971-1984.&lt;/div&gt;
  320. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  321. A flashflood on November 5, 1991 brought death, destruction of crops and damage in properties. The severity of the damage was found to be due to massive deforestation/rapid forest denudation. In response, the government and the private sector embarked on a concerted effort directed towards full-scale reforestation of the denuded areas. Mayor Eufrocino M. Codilla Sr. (elected 1992-1995, re-elected 1995-1998 and 1998-2001) leads the drive towards the reconstruction of Ormoc City after this calamity. Under his term, reconstruction of infrastructure support facilities, reforestation projects, construction of resettlement facilities, drainage system, water system, lighting system and provision for social services for Ormoc’s constituents were undertaken. In addition he was instrumental in the construction of the Ormoc Superdome and the establishment of shopping malls in the city. Through his effort, Ormoc with the assistance of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) implemented a Flood Mitigation Project that addresses the threat of flooding of the city center during typhoons and heavy downpour.&lt;/div&gt;
  322. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #656565; font-family: &amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;
  323. Ormoc is now fast becoming the hub of development in the region. With its strategic geographical location in which it serves as a gateway to the Eastern Visayas, more economic activities have taken place evident in the rapid growth of business establishments, financial institutions and infrastructures. Although fast development was largely attributed to the activities spawned by the PNOC (now Energy Development Corporation, EDC) Geothermal Power production project in Tongonan, many attest the development is necessary to accommodate the rising number of people and businesses in the area.&lt;/div&gt;

  326. Today, Ormoc City is a picture of steady progress and stability. With its continuous modernization program, more investors are coming into the city, which contributed to it being adjudged as the 2005 Most Business-Friendly City in the Visayas by the prestigious Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. And though the city has embarked on modernization, it has also keep attuned its environmental protection programs as evident in being a consistent Cleanest and Greenest City awardee in Region VIII and one of the Cleanest and Greenest City in the country. This prestigious award is a leading tribute to visualize Ormoc as a “beauty by the bay”, a wonderful place to visit whether for business of pleasure.&lt;/div&gt;

  363. Even before the coming of the Spanish colonial government, Naga, which was then a flourishing village off the riverbanks of the storied Naga River, was already a thriving community. As pointed in the book of Prof. Danilo M. Gerona, a local historian, Naga was then a premier village with a comparatively sophisticated weaponry and surprisingly advanced technology. The name “Naga” derived its origin from the narra trees, which were then in abundance. Thus, in 1573, when the Spanish Troops arrived led by Capt. Juan de Salcedo, the colonizers were amazed to find a community with a fairly well advanced culture. In 1574, Captain Pedro de Chaves founded Ciudad de Nueva Caceres in honor of Don Francisco de Sande, then governor of the province and native of the City of Caceres in Spain. Naga, the premier native village and then a Spanish pueblo, formed part of the Spanish colonial city. Nueva Caceres remained the capital of Ambos Camarines provinces and later of the Camarines Sur province until the formal creation of the independent component city of Naga under the Philippine Republic. Naga’s birth as a chartered city formally took place on December 15, 1948 by virtue of Republic Act No. 305. Rep. Juan Q. Miranda sponsored this legislative act which put flesh into the city’s bid to become among the only few independent component cities in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
  364. &lt;br /&gt;
  365. CIUDAD NIN NAGA has been for hundred of years a center of trade, education and culture, and the seat of governmental and ecclesiastical jurisdiction.&lt;br /&gt;
  366. &lt;br /&gt;
  367. In 1573, on his second expedition to this region, the great conquestador, Juan de Salcedo, discovered here a flourishing Bikol Village called Naga, because it is said, of an abundance of Narra (naga in Bikol) trees about the place. In 1575 (200 years before the start of the American Revolution), Capt. Pedro de Chavez, the commander of the garrison left behind by Salcedo, founded on the site of the present business center (across the river from the original Naga) a Spanish city which he named Ciudad de Caceres, in honor of Francisco de Sande, the governor general and a native of the city of Caceres in Spain. It was still by this name that it was identified in the papal bull of August 14, 1595 that erected the See of Caceres (together with those of Cebu and Nueva Segobia) and made it the seat of the new bishopric.&lt;br /&gt;
  368. &lt;br /&gt;
  369. In time, Spanish city and native village merged into one community and became popularly known as Nueva Caceres, obviously to distinguish it from its namesake in Spain. It had a city government as prescribed by Spanish law, with an ayuntamiento and cabildo of its own. At the beginning of the17th century, there were only five other ciudades in the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  370. &lt;br /&gt;
  371. With the advent of the American rule, it was reduced to a municipality. In 1919, it lost its Spanish name, when, by law, it became officially known as Naga. It acquired its present city charter in 1948, and its city government was inaugurated on December 15 of the same year.&lt;br /&gt;
  372. &lt;br /&gt;
  373. The bishops of Caceres occupied a unique place in the Philippine Catholic hierarchy during most of the Spanish regime. By virtue of the papal brief of Gregory XIII, ecclesiastical cases originating in the Spanish Indies, which ordinarily were appealable to the Pope, were ordered to be terminated there and no longer elevated to Rome. Decisions of bishops were made appealable to the archbishop and those of the latter to the bishop of the nearest see. Thus, in the Philippines, the decisions of the archbishop of Manila were subject to review by the bishop of Caceres whose jurisdiction then extended to the province of Tayabas. In this sense, bishops of Bikol were delegates of the Pope and could be considered primates of the Church of the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  374. &lt;br /&gt;
  375. This was the reason why bishops of Caceres and archbishop of Manila were sometimes engaged in interesting controversies in the sensational Naga case and in such issues as canonical visitation and the secularization of the parishes.&lt;br /&gt;
  376. As papal delegate, Bishop Francisco Gainza, then concurrently bishop of Caceres, sat in the special ecclesiastical tribunal which passed upon the civil authorities&#39; petition to divert Fathers Burgos, Gomez, and Zamora of their priestly dignity. Gainza did not only refuse the petition but also urged their pardon.&lt;br /&gt;
  377. &lt;br /&gt;
  378. Situated at the center of the Bikol peninsula and surrounded on all sides by rich agricultural, forest and fishing areas, Naga is also at the confluence of the Naga and Bikol Rivers. Thus, it has always been an ideal place for trade, and as center for schools and church and government offices.&lt;br /&gt;
  379. &lt;br /&gt;
  380. In downtown Naga, just opposite Naga&#39;s tallest structure, the Holiday Hotel, you will see a park situated between Peñafrancia Ave. and Elias Angeles Street, and right in the middle of it the lofty monument to Bikol&#39;s Quince Martires. Actually, Bikol&#39;s martyrs of freedom number in the thousands but these fifteen have been specially singled out as symbols of the rest because on January 4, 1897, just five days after Dr. Rizal was executed, eleven of them were likewise shot at Bagumbayan field in Manila. The others died for country in exile or in prison.They were avenged, however, at the Peñafrancia Fiesta, September 18, 1898 for corporals Elias Angeles and Felix Plazo convinced their fellow members of the guardia civil not to allow the same fate to befall them as had befallen the Daet patriots. So on the night of the fiesta they attacked the Spanish officers&#39; quarters, routed them and then did battle with the rest of the Spanish community who had established themselves in the convento of the historic San Francisco Church (just opposite the Quince Martires monuments, its old bell tower can still be seen). When word of this startling defeat reached Partido, Legazpi, Sorsogon and Catanduanes, all Spanish forces and governmental men withdraw to Iloilo. Sad to say, in January 1900, the American imperialistic forces invaded Camarines Sur and headed for Naga. However, Naga resident General Ludovico Arejola, organized a large guerilla army and fought the Americans at Agdangan, Baao. Afterwards he set up a camp in the mountains of Minalabac and held out for a full year and two and two months more, until rampant sickness forced the surrender of himself and his men in a formal ceremony in Naga on March 31, 1901. In late December 1941, Naga was again put under another foreign power, Japan, but once again on May 1 and 2, 1942; the combined guerilla forces of the province smashed their way into Naga. Their main purpose in doing so was to liberate the 30 American prisoners in the provincial jail. At the risk of their own lives and those of their relatives and neighbors not only freed, but also sheltered their former colonizers in the mountain. On April 9, 1945, a large number of Major Juan Q. Miranda&#39;s guerillas again attacked the Japanese forces in Naga. American planes also heavily bombed the city. The American army arrived finally on April 27. Naga became a chartered city in 1948. On the first decade of 1700&#39;s the first chapel to the Virgin Mary of Peñafrancia was constructed just above the city and along the banks of Naga River that is the avenue upon which the image is triumphantly borne from downtown Naga on the afternoon of Peñafrancia Saturday. This devotion is an authentic regional fiesta and the population of the city more than doubles on those days as pilgrims come from all over the six Bicol provinces as well as many from Manila and other distant places to share in this great religious experience and festival.Three (3) of the most venerable institutions and structures in Naga are clustered together along the upper part of Elias Angeles Street. They are the Cathedral that begun in the year 1816, the Holy Rosary Seminary and the Colegio de Sta. Isabel. Founded in 1793 as both a college and a seminary, The Holy Rosary Seminary is one of the oldest schools in the republic. It educated literally thousands of the sons of all the leading families from as far north as Mauban, Quezon, and as far south as Leyte. In 1925, the laymen’s department was separated from the seminary and became the Camarines Sur Catholic Academy, which in turn, in 1940 became the Ateneo de Naga. Naga Parochial School took over the training of the elementary boys in 1948.&lt;br /&gt;
  381. &lt;br /&gt;
  382. In 1868, the first normal school for women in the entire Orient was established in Naga as the Colegio de Sta. Isabel. Each parish in Bikol was required to send at least one pensionada to study there that they might be trained to run the parochial school in their own home place. The colegio’s present day population of more than 5,000 shows the appreciation of the Bikol people for its century of work for Bikol youth.The University of Nueva Caceres, adjacent to Naga’s Centro, is the first university in southern Luzon. Over 9,000 students are being trained “non scholae ser vitae” in its halls. Students come from as far south as Zamboanga to attend its law, engineering, commerce, liberal arts courses. Its Bicol Museum is the best in the entire Peninsula.&lt;br /&gt;
  383. &lt;br /&gt;
  384. &lt;div&gt;
  385. Naga has a multitude of other fine schools: Naga College Foundation, Camarines Sur National High School, Bicol College of Arts and Trade, Naga City Science High School, St. Joseph School, Hope Christian School, Philippine Union College and many energetic business and fashion academies.&lt;/div&gt;
  386. &lt;br /&gt;
  387. &lt;div&gt;
  388. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Cityhood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  389. During the 11th Congress (1998–2001), Congress enacted into law 33 bills converting 33 municipalities into cities. However, Congress did not act on a further 24 bills converting 24 other municipalities into cities. &lt;br /&gt;
  390. During the 12th Congress (2001–2004), Congress enacted into law Republic Act No. 9009 (RA 9009), which took effect on 30 June 2001. RA 9009 amended Section 450 of the Local Government Code by increasing the annual income requirement for conversion of a municipality into a city from ₱20 million to ₱100 million. The rationale for the amendment was to restrain, in the words of Senator Aquilino Pimentel, &quot;the mad rush&quot; of municipalities to convert into cities solely to secure a larger share in the Internal Revenue Allotment despite the fact that they are incapable of fiscal independence. &lt;br /&gt;
  391. After RA 9009 went into effect, the House of Representatives of the 12th Congress adopted Joint Resolution No. 29, which sought to exempt from the ₱100 million income requirement in RA 9009 the 24 municipalities whose cityhood bills were not approved in the 11th Congress. However, the 12th Congress ended without the Senate having approved Joint Resolution No. 29. &lt;br /&gt;
  392. During the 13th Congress (2004–2007), the House of Representatives re-adopted former Joint Resolution No. 29 as Joint Resolution No. 1 and forwarded it to the Senate for approval. However, the Senate again failed to approve the Joint Resolution. Following the suggestion of Senator Aquilino Pimentel (Senate President), 16 municipalities filed, through their respective sponsors, individual cityhood bills. The 16 cityhood bills each contained a common provision exempting it from the ₱100 million income requirement of RA 9009 – &lt;br /&gt;
  393. &quot;Exemption from Republic Act No. 9009. — The City of x x x shall be exempted from the income requirement prescribed under Republic Act No. 9009.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
  394. On 22 December 2006, the House of Representatives approved the cityhood bills. The Senate also approved the cityhood bills in February 2007, except that of Naga, Cebu which was passed on 7 June 2007. These cityhood bills lapsed into law on various dates from March to July 2007 after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo failed to sign them. &lt;br /&gt;
  395. Cityhood was ratified in a plebiscite on 2 September 2007. The point of law at issue in 2007 was whether there had been a breach of Section 10, Article X of the 1987 Constitution, which provides – &lt;br /&gt;
  396. No province, city, municipality, or barangay shall be created, divided, merged, abolished or its boundary substantially altered, except in accordance with the criteria established in the local government code and subject to approval by a majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite in the political units directly affected. &lt;br /&gt;
  397. – and in each case the established criteria were far from met. &lt;br /&gt;
  398. In November 2008, Naga and 15 other cities lost their cityhood after the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a petition filed by the League of Cities of the Philippines, and declared unconstitutional the cityhood law (RA 9491) which had allowed the town to acquire its city status. The Supreme Court ruled that they did not pass the requirements for cityhood.&lt;br /&gt;
  399. On 10 December 2008, the 16 cities affected acting together filed a motion for reconsideration with the Supreme Court. More than a year later, on 22 December 2009, acting on said appeal, the Court reversed its earlier ruling as it ruled that &quot;at the end of the day, the passage of the amendatory law&quot; (regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by Congress) &quot;is no different from the enactment of a law, i.e., the cityhood laws specifically exempting a particular political subdivision from the criteria earlier mentioned. Congress, in enacting the exempting law/s, effectively decreased the already codified indicators. Accordingly cityhood status was restored. &lt;br /&gt;
  400. But on 27 August 2010, the 16 cities lost their city status again, after the Supreme Court voted 7-6, with two justices not taking part, to reinstate the 2008 decision declaring as &quot;unconstitutional&quot; the Republic Acts that converted the 16 municipalities into cities. A previous law required towns aspiring to become cities to earn at least ₱100 million annually, which none of the 16 did.&lt;br /&gt;
  401. On 15 February 2011, the Supreme Court made another volte-face and upheld for the third time the cityhood of 16 towns in the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  402. Finally, on 12 April 2011, the Supreme Court, in an en banc ruling delivered in Baguio City, affirmed the finality of the constitutionality of the 16 cityhood laws by resolving that: &lt;br /&gt;
  403. We should not ever lose sight of the fact that the 16 cities covered by the Cityhood Laws not only had conversion bills pending during the 11th Congress, but have also complied with the requirements of the LGC prescribed prior to its amendment by R.A. No. 9009. Congress undeniably gave these cities all the considerations that justice and fair play demanded. Hence, this Court should do no less by stamping its imprimatur to the clear and unmistakable legislative intent and by duly recognizing the certain collective wisdom of Congress. WHEREFORE, the Ad Cautelam Motion for Reconsideration (of the Decision dated 15 February 2011) is denied with finality.&lt;br /&gt;
  404. On 28 June 2011 the Supreme Court directed the Clerk of Court to issue the entry of judgment on the cityhood case of 16 municipalities.&lt;br /&gt;

Today, the old Spanish-built fort constructed as a lookout point for frequent Muslim raids is one of the historical attractions found in the city. In the middle part of 1565, the Spaniards came and subjugated Himamaylan. They introduced Encomienda System by which a piece of land including its products and other resources, and its inhabitants were granted to members of the conquering force as their puppets. The first Spanish priest, constructed a makeshift church and gathered the native which they later called “Himaya”, a thanksgiving for driving the “Hima” away. Himaya was also a place for spiritual paradise to the Babaylan. They later called “Himaya” as Himamaya-an or Himamaylan, but because of the tongue twisting sound of its syllables which the priest find difficulty in pronouncing, they changed the word to Himamaylan to suit their diction. The name Himamaylan was adopted officially when the place was founded into a township or pueblo. Thus, the town got its name both from historical and dialectical origin.&lt;br /&gt;
  432. &lt;br /&gt;
  433. Himamaylan was founded in the 18th century. Although there was no definite record found, it became the second capital of Negros Island from 1795-1849; first being Municipality of Ilog. The town’s historical landmark, the Spanish Kota (Fortress) was the seat of the Old Spanish Government. It was also the place where many natives were cured of their sickness and consequently converted to Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;
  434. &lt;br /&gt;
  435. Himamaylan’s historical records showed that in 1565 when the Spaniards came, there spur a quantum jump in the people’s religious life. From a pagan life, fresh arterial blood pumped into the multiplying discipline. In a span of only a few years after Spanish Colonization, embracing the Catholic Faith, the dame dramatic transformation continued to happen that even intellectuals of today is mystified in their own findings and misbelief that they were naturally drawn to the faith.&lt;br /&gt;
  436. &lt;br /&gt;
  437. On November 4, 1898, the revolutionary forces in Himamaylan received orders from Gen. Juan Araneta to dislodge the Spanish Soldiers stationed in the town on November 5, and the rest of the towns in Negros. Due to lack of weapons they were not able to carry out the order and it was only on 8 November 1898 when the Deputy Commander for Southern Negros in the person of Gen. Rafael Ramos showed the Spanish Corporal a copy of the Act of Capitulation, that the Spanish Soldiers surrendered, thus, making Himamaylan as the last town to have been liberated from the Spanish Government.&lt;br /&gt;
  438. &lt;br /&gt;
  439. When the Americans came on December 28, 1898, they easily capitulated the island of Negros from the Spanish Colonizers, thereby establishing the American Rule in the whole island.&lt;br /&gt;
  440. &lt;br /&gt;
  441. In the year 1942, after the fall of Bataan and Corregidor to the Japanese forces, three days after Negros Occidental also fall, thus, the Japanese Military Government was established in the whole province. The guerrilla resistance fighters and local soldiers of the Philippine Commonwealth Army military units was encounter siege around the municipality of Himamaylan was attacking Japanese soldiers from 1942 to 1945 until the retreating guerrillas by the Japanese. On 1945, Filipino and American soldiers aiding recognized guerrillas liberated the municipality of Himamaylan and defeating Japanese forces and ended in World War II.&lt;br /&gt;
  442. &lt;br /&gt;
  443. In year 1998 brought good luck and hope to all Himamaylanon as he successfully steer the Municipality into becoming a first City in the 5th district with the approval (98%)of the people in a plebiscite held 31 March 2001. On the 5 March 2001 at 10:00 A.M., the Republic Act No. 9028, “An Act Converting the Municipality of Himamaylan, Province of Negros Occidental into a component City of Himamaylan”, was signed in a ceremony at the Heroes Hall of Malacañang Palace.&lt;br /&gt;
  444. &lt;br /&gt;

According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 145,568 people&amp;nbsp; making it the most populous city in the province.&lt;br /&gt;
  459. &lt;br /&gt;
  460. With a total land area of 116,626 hectares (288,190 acres), it is the largest city in the island of Luzon and the fourth largest city in land area in the Philippines, after Davao City, Puerto Princesa and Zamboanga City. It holds the title as the most number of voters in the province with 88,413 voters.&lt;br /&gt;

It is one of the populous settlement during that period and site of the vast tobacco plantation in the region making it one of the most important economic areas in northern Luzon. Shortly after Juan de Salcedo conquered Northern Luzon in 1587, Gov. Rodrigo de Penalosa sent Capt. Pablo de Carreon to explore Cagayan Valley as well as to establish missions in towns. Among the Spanish missionaries who penetrated deeply into the region was P. Pedro Jimenez, who founded Ilagan.&lt;br /&gt;
  467. &lt;br /&gt;
  468. The town of Bolo was founded by the Dominicans in 1619 in honor of Saint Ferdinand of Castile. The old Bolo was situated in the western side of Cagayan River in what is known today as Barangay Naguilian-Baculod. The cultural shock brought by the dominating social and economic regulations introduced by the Spanish authorities propelled the natives to dissent in the Mallig and Ilagan-Tumauini territories in what was known as the Gaddang Revolution. The natives abandoned their settlement after burning their church and houses until 1622 when the Spanish government pardoned and exempted them from paying tribute within three years. After the Gaddang revolt, the natives re-established their settlement upon the efforts of Fr. Pedro Jimenez in 1678 on the east side of the river thereby giving the legendary name for Ilagan which is the reverse of the word Nagali meaning &quot;transfer&quot;. The Dominicans accepted the settlement as an ecclesiastical mission given the name San Fernando de Ilagan in honor of its patron, Saint Ferdinand of Castile.&lt;br /&gt;
  469. &lt;br /&gt;
  470. On May 4, 1686, Ilagan was founded and missionaries converted the natives to Christianity. Ilagan was made the capital of Cagayan Valley when Brig. Manuel Sanchez Mira was then the governor of the whole territory. Ilagan was the scene of the 1763 revolt in Isabela led by Dabo and Marayag against the collection of tribute, the enforcement of tobacco monopoly committed by the friars during the Spanish occupation. Upon the separation of Isabela on May 1, 1856, Ilagan became the capital of the province.&lt;br /&gt;
  471. &lt;br /&gt;
  472. On August 4, 1901 the American occupation under the United States-Philippine Commission has enacted the Provincial Government Act 210 that has re-established Isabela and other provinces in the Philippines. Rafael Maramag, a former municipal president (mayor) of Ilagan was appointed as the first governor. The act then re-established Ilagan as the provincial capital.&lt;br /&gt;
  473. &lt;br /&gt;
  474. On November 13, 1925, Gaffud has approved a resolution filed by all &quot;Municipal Presidents of the Isabela&quot; (the counterpart of the present-day Mayors&#39; League) following a four-day convention. The resolution called for the erection of a monument in honor of the country&#39;s National Hero José Rizal in the old Ilagan public plaza in Barangay Bagumbayan. By the turn of the 1950s the new Poblacion was located uphill from the old Saint Ferdinand Parish Church (formerly known as Saint Ferdinand Cathedral in Barangay Bagumbayan) to Barangay San Vicente; site of the current City Hall.&lt;br /&gt;

  479. &lt;br /&gt;
  480. During the Spanish colonization period, Ilagan applied to gain cityhood status from the Spanish Government but was unsuccessful. Ilagan could have been the second city of the Philippines after Nueva Segovia, now Lal-Lo, Cagayan.&lt;br /&gt;
  481. During the administration of then Mayor Paguirigan, but was shelved during the American occupation.&lt;br /&gt;
  482. On February 2, 1998, congress passed Republic Act No. 8474 which sought to convert Ilagan into a city. But the plebiscite held on March 14, 1999 turned down its bid for cityhood under the administration of then Mayor Mercedes P. Uy. The majority of the people voted no in that event.&lt;br /&gt;
  483. During the administration of then Mayor Delfinito &quot;Jojo&quot; C. Albano, Ilagan&#39;s cityhood status did not push through when the mayor was gunned down by three unidentified men in the night of June 27, 2006 in Quezon City. Mayor Albano used the term C-U-DAD Ilagan for campaigning the cityhood status of Ilagan.&lt;br /&gt;
  484. In 2012, the leaders of Ilagan, led by then Isabela 1st District Representative Rodolfo Albano Sr., renewed its bid for its cityhood. Former Isabela Vice Governor Rodolfo T. Albano III said that, &quot;The provincial government fully supports Ilagan’s renewed cityhood bid, considering that such goal is already long overdue&quot;. Former Department of Justice Secretary Silvestre Bello III expressed support to the renewed move of the local officials of Ilagan, Isabela, headed by then Mayor Josemarie L. Diaz, for the town’s conversion into a city.[11] On May 22, 2012, the congress approved the cityhood bill of Ilagan on its House Resolution No. 144 and was signed by His Excellency, then President Benigno Aquino III. Plebiscite was held on August 11, 2012, with a majority of votes voting &quot;yes&quot;. By virtue of Republic Act 10169, Ilagan was then proclaimed as a new component city, the third in the province of Isabela and the fourth in Cagayan Valley on the same day by COMELEC Commissioner Armando Velasco.&lt;br /&gt;
  485. On August 11, 2015, marked another day in the history of Ilagan as the Department of Agriculture proclaimed the city as the new Corn Capital of the Philippines during its third cityhood anniversary. Former Sec. Proceso Alcala was represented by then Asec. Edilberto M. De Luna who travelled all the way to Ilagan to attend the momentous event.&lt;br /&gt;

  494. Of the total 1,166.26 km2 land area of Ilagan; 31% are agricultural, 36% are forest areas and the remaining 33% are build-up areas and open grassland areas that are available for industrial, commercial and residential uses.[15] Of all cities in the country, Ilagan ranks as the top producer of corn. As an agriculture-based city, it produces ample supply of corn, rice, vegetables and legumes. Fruits like the banana are year-round products especially in the mountainous areas of the city. Ilagan also produces seasonal fruits such as mangoes and pomelo. The Cagayan Valley Research Center (CVRC) is the primary plant breeding institution in Region 02. It is located in Barangay San Felipe along National Highway. Ilagan has rich forest resources. Hectares of forest land are strictly protected by authorities like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), several NGOs and the Local Government Unit.&lt;br /&gt;

  499. &lt;br /&gt;
  500. The rapid increase of population in Ilagan is attributed to the current growth of economic activities specially in the sectors of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Housing. Ilagan is one of the 145 emerging cities in the Philippines with more than 100,000 residents.[20] Statistics from the Philippine Statistics Authority show that Ilagan had a population 131,24311 in 2007, which increased to 135,174 people in the 2010 census making Ilagan as the most populous city in the province of Isabela and the second in Cagayan Valley after Tuguegarao.&lt;br /&gt;

  505. Ilagan&#39;s population is predominantly Roman Catholic. The Diocese of Ilagan has 39 catholic churches all over the province of Isabela. There are also Protestants, Baptist, Church of Christ, Adventists, Born Again groups, Victory Christian Fellowship, Latter Day Saints, Jehovah&#39;s Witnesses, Islam, and Philippine-based groups like Iglesia Ni Cristo and Ang Dating Daan that accounts to the city&#39;s population. These religious organizations have their own temples and churches sparsely located in the city. Some Ilagueños were converted to Islam where their mosque is found in Barangay Baligatan.&lt;br /&gt;

  510. Agriculture and fishery remains to be the main backbone of Ilagan&#39;s economy. There are almost 23,803 hectares that are basically cultivated land and 314 hectares are utilized for fish culture. However, the suitable farm area of Ilagan is 32,153.19 hectares potentials for crops, livestock and fish production. This figure shows that a significant percentage (24.99%) is not being fully utilized for agricultural production leaving them idle and under utilized.&lt;br /&gt;
  511. &lt;br /&gt;
  512. Commerce and trade is the second economic based income of the people of Ilagan. In the year 2006, statistics showed that there are currently 1,795 registered business establishments. For year 2000, commercial trade was at 1,996 revealing that there were more or less than 201 establishments that had been closed down within the period 2000–2006. There were even more establishments in 1995 with a total of 1,877 in all. The trend shows that from 1995 to 2000, there was a growth of 2.94%, but from 2000 to 2006 a decreasing growth rate of -1.75% was registered. Just like the past years, for the year 2006, commercial activities within the municipality are classified into wholesale, retail and service-oriented businesses.&lt;br /&gt;
  513. &lt;br /&gt;
  514. The industrial sector of the municipal economy comprises 210 establishments in year 2006 as compared with 207 in 2000. This reflects a 2.4% increase in industrial activities over a period of six years (2000–2006). The existing industries are mostly on a micro scale except for the Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. located in Barangay Guinatan which is the only significant employment generator within the locality at that time. Following the previous year’s trend, industries currently operating are agro-industries, wood-based manufacturing or service-oriented industries.&lt;br /&gt;
  515. &lt;br /&gt;
  516. The commercial area includes areas which are occupied by public markets, wholesale and retail stores, restaurants, banks, shops and other establishments or structures engaged in commercial activities. The bulk of those who are engaged in trade and commerce are found in the public markets. The area covered by the commercial area is approximately 90.56 hectares or 2.62% of the urban core.&lt;br /&gt;
  517. &lt;br /&gt;
  518. As compared to the 2000 existing commercial area of 17 hectares, the increase of 73.56 hectares in 2007 is an indication that Ilagan is racing towards commercialization.&lt;br /&gt;
  519. &lt;br /&gt;
  520. The transformation of Ilagan into a fast growing municipality in Cagayan Valley became evident upon the assumption in office of then Mayor Josemarie L. Diaz, the re-structuring of the economic landscape of the municipality and the eventual transformation of its business climate into a business friendly environment successfully lured multi-national companies in investing their capitals into its market. Economic boom began to ingulf Ilagan with the entry of eight (8) banks and financial institutions in just a number of months.&lt;br /&gt;
  521. &lt;br /&gt;
  522. The Local Government of Ilagan responded positively with these developments by the enactment of legislative measures including the provision of the Investment Incentive Code which provided for tax incentives to investments. These measures eventually opened the flood gates for big investments to enter the local market that included the establishments of malls like the Northstar Mall and Talavera Square Mall that house the Savemore, Robinsons Supermarket, Puregold, Jollibee, McDonald&#39;s, Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Mang Inasal, Greenwich, Chowking and many other stores.&lt;br /&gt;
  523. &lt;br /&gt;
  524. At present, Ilagan has one of the fastest-growing economy in the province of Isabela as well as in the whole Cagayan Valley over the past years. The city is the primary growth center and investment hub of the Cagayan Valley region due to the rapid commercialization and stabilization of the different sectors involved in its economy. It has two major public markets which is the old Pamilihang Bayan ng Ilagan located in Centro Poblacion (now called Xentro Market) moved to barangay San Vicente to give way for the construction of Xentro Mall and the multi-million pesos New Ilagan Public Market Complex in Barangay Baligatan. In front of the public market is a three-storey structure called as Ilagan City Mall, the first LGU-owned and operated mall in the city. The increasing number of market goers coming from the different regions of the city and adjacent municipalities, prompted city officials to facilitate the construction of the modern market. Ilagan is home to almost fifteen (15) banks which is primarily composed of universal, commercial, savings and rural banks. There are also thousands of commercial establishments composed of distributors, retail and wholesale. Pawnshops, lending companies, insurance agencies, cooperatives and other financial institutions are spread all over the city.&lt;br /&gt;

According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 342,618 people.&lt;br /&gt;
  537. &lt;br /&gt;
  538. It is geographically within the province of Lanao del Norte but administered independently from the province. It was once part of Central Mindanao (Region 12) until the province was moved under Northern Mindanao (Region 10) in 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
  539. &lt;br /&gt;
  540. Iligan has a total land area of 813.37 square kilometres (314.04 sq mi), making it one of the 10 largest cities in the Philippines in terms of land area. It had a population of 342,618 inhabitants in the 2015 census.&lt;br /&gt;
  541. &lt;br /&gt;
  542. The name Iligan is from the Higaunon (Lumad/Native of Iligan) word &quot;Ilig&quot; which means &quot;to go downstream&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the earliest pre-Spanish settlement of native sea dwellers. In the later part of the 16th century, the inhabitants were subdued by the Visayan migrants from the island-nation called the Kedatuan of Dapitan, on Panglao island.&lt;br /&gt;
  547. &lt;br /&gt;
  548. In the accounts of Jesuit historian Francisco Combes, the Mollucan Sultan of Ternate invaded Panglao. This caused the Dapitans to flee in large numbers to a re-established Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte.&lt;br /&gt;
  549. &lt;br /&gt;
  550. In Dapitan, the surviving Datu of Panglao Pagbuaya, received Legazpi&#39;s expedition in 1595. Later, Pagbuaya&#39;s son Manook was baptized Pedro Manuel Manook. Sometime afterwards in by the end of the 16th century after 1595 Manook subdued the higaunon (animist) village of Bayug and turned it into one of the earliest Christian settlements in the country. The settlement survived other raids from other enemies, especially Muslims of Lanao, and the early Iliganons moved their settlement from Bayug to Iligan, which the Augustinian Recollects founded as a mission in 1609.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Iligan was the Spaniards&#39; base of operations in attempting to conquer and Christianize the Lanao area throughout its history. A stone fort called Fort St. Francis Xavier was built in 1642 where Iliganons sought refuge during raids by bandits. But the fort sank due to floods. Another fort was built and this was named Fort Victoria or Cota de Iligan.&lt;br /&gt;
  554. &lt;br /&gt;
  555. In 1850, because of floods, Don Remigio Cabili, then Iligan&#39;s governadorcillo, built another fort and moved the poblacion of the old Iligan located at the mouth of Tubod River west of the old market to its present site.&lt;br /&gt;

  558. Iligan was already a town of the once undivided Misamis Province in 1832. However, it did not have an independent religious administration because it was part of Cagayan de Oro, the provincial capital. It was one of the biggest municipalities of Misamis Province.&lt;br /&gt;
  559. &lt;br /&gt;
  560. The Spaniards abandoned Iligan in 1899, paving the way for the landing of the American forces in 1900.&lt;br /&gt;

Iligan, because of its Moro residents, was taken away from the Misamis Province. Then Iligan became the capital of the Lanao District and seat of the government where the American officials lived and held office. Later in 1907 the capital of the Lanao District was transferred to Dansalan.&lt;br /&gt;
  565. &lt;br /&gt;
  566. In 1914, under the restructuring of Moroland after the end of the Moro Province (1903–1913), Iligan became a municipality composed of eight barrios together with the municipal district of Mandulog. After enjoying peace and prosperity for about 40 years, Iligan was invaded by Japanese forces in 1942.&lt;br /&gt;
  567. &lt;br /&gt;
  568. The liberation in Iligan by the Philippine Commonwealth forces attacked by the Japanese held sway in the city until 1944 to 1945 when the war ended. On November 15, 1944, the city held a Commonwealth Day parade to celebrate the end of Japanese atrocities and occupation.&lt;br /&gt;

It was declared a first class city in 1969 and was reclassified as First Class City &quot;A&quot; on July 1, 1977 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 465. In 1983, Iligan was again reclassified as a highly urbanized city.&lt;br /&gt;

  580. &lt;br /&gt;
  581. To the west, Iligan Bay provides ferry and container ship transportation. East of the city, flat cultivated coastal land gives way to steep volcanic hills and mountains providing the waterfalls and cold springs for which the area is well known.&lt;br /&gt;

Iliganons are composed of a Cebuano-speaking majority and local minorities mainly Maranaos and Higaonons.&lt;br /&gt;
  586. &lt;br /&gt;
  587. Some Tagalogs, other cultural minorities and immigrants from other places also inhabit Iligan. It is not only rich in natural resources and industries but it is also the home of a mix of cultures: the Maranaos of Lanao, the Higaonon of Bukidnon, and many settlers and migrants from other parts of the country. It is known for its diverse culture.&lt;br /&gt;
  588. &lt;br /&gt;
  589. Language&lt;br /&gt;
  590. Cebuano is the major language in the city (92.27%). The rest speak Maranao, Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Chavacano, and Waray-Waray. The majority of the population can speak and understand English.&lt;br /&gt;

  595. Iligan is known as the Industrial Center of the South and its economy is largely based on heavy industries. It produces hydroelectric power for the Mindanao region through the National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), the site of the Mindanao Regional Center (MRC) housing Agus IV, VI and VII hydroelectric plants. It also houses industries like steel, tinplate, cement and flour mills.&lt;br /&gt;
  596. &lt;br /&gt;
  597. After the construction of Maria Cristina (Agus VI) Hydroelectric Plant by National Power Corporation (NPC, NAPOCOR) in 1950, the city experienced rapid industrialization and continued until the late 1980s. The largest steel plant in the country, National Steel Corporation (NSC), was also established in 1962.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  598. During the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the city experienced severe economic slowdown. A number of industrial plants were closed, notably the National Steel Corporation.&lt;br /&gt;
  599. &lt;br /&gt;
  600. The city made its economic revival with the reopening of the National Steel Corporation, renamed Global Steelworks Infrastructures, Inc. (GSII) in 2004.[18] On October 2005, GSII officially took a new corporate name: Global Steel Philippines (SPV-AMC), Inc.&lt;br /&gt;

  610. &lt;br /&gt;
  611. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;Guihulngan City is a 5th class city in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 95,969 people, the third-most populous city in Negros Oriental after the cities of Dumaguete and Bayawan.&lt;br /&gt;
  612. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  616. There are several versions how the city derived its name. The first, according to old tales, was attributed to a river flowing directly to the town proper from the main spring in sitio Anahaw, Barangay Nagsaha, hence the name &quot;GUIPADULNGAN&quot; which means the point where the river flows to an end.&lt;br /&gt;
  617. &lt;br /&gt;
  618. The second is associated with the gruesome incident in the 19th Century when the Philippines was a colony of Spain; men and women of different ages were said to be captured, beheaded and thrown into the sea by the Moros, now known as Tañon Strait. Other accounts claim that the Moro invaders dropped a bell into the sea when they found out that it was used by the lookout to warn the townsfolk of their coming. Since that time, the place has been called &quot;GUIHULUGAN&quot; which means, &quot;Place where a thing was dropped&quot;. But in the Spanish writing, &quot;U&quot; and &quot;N&quot; are similar, which is why it became commonly written and known as GUIHULNGAN.&lt;br /&gt;
  619. &lt;br /&gt;
  620. Whether it originated as &quot;GUIPADULNGAN&quot; or &quot;GUIHULNGAN&quot;, the name is indeed symbolic, as the town is “dropped” with abundant blessings from the Almighty for a significant &quot;end&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  621. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  622. &lt;h3 style=&quot;background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; position: relative;&quot;&gt;

  624. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;
  625. During the 11th Congress (1998–2001), Congress enacted into law 33 bills converting 33 municipalities into cities. However, Congress did not act on a further 24 bills converting 24 other municipalities into cities.&lt;br /&gt;
  626. &lt;br /&gt;
  627. During the 12th Congress (2001–2004), Congress enacted into law Republic Act No. 9009 (RA 9009), which took effect on 30 June 2001. RA 9009 amended Section 450 of the Local Government Code by increasing the annual income requirement for conversion of a municipality into a city from ₱20 million to ₱100 million. The rationale for the amendment was to restrain, in the words of Senator Aquilino Pimentel, &quot;the mad rush&quot; of municipalities to convert into cities solely to secure a larger share in the Internal Revenue Allotment despite the fact that they are incapable of fiscal independence.&lt;br /&gt;
  628. &lt;br /&gt;
  629. After RA 9009 went into effect, the House of Representatives of the 12th Congress adopted Joint Resolution No. 29, which sought to exempt from the ₱100 million income requirement in RA 9009 the 24 municipalities whose cityhood bills were not approved in the 11th Congress. However, the 12th Congress ended without the Senate having approved Joint Resolution No. 29.&lt;br /&gt;
  630. &lt;br /&gt;
  631. During the 13th Congress (2004–2007), the House of Representatives re-adopted former Joint Resolution No. 29 as Joint Resolution No. 1 and forwarded it to the Senate for approval. However, the Senate again failed to approve the Joint Resolution. Following the suggestion of Senator Aquilino Pimentel (Senate President), 16 municipalities filed, through their respective sponsors, individual cityhood bills. The 16 cityhood bills each contained a common provision exempting it from the ₱100 million income requirement of RA 9009 –&lt;br /&gt;
  632. &lt;br /&gt;
  633. &quot;Exemption from Republic Act No. 9009. — The City of x x x shall be exempted from the income requirement prescribed under Republic Act No. 9009.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  634. &lt;br /&gt;
  635. On 22 December 2006, the House of Representatives approved the cityhood bills. The Senate also approved the cityhood bills in February 2007, except that of Naga, Cebu which was passed on 7 June 2007. These cityhood bills lapsed into law on various dates from March to July 2007 after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo failed to sign them.&lt;br /&gt;
  636. &lt;br /&gt;
  637. Guihulngan was already the largest municipality in Negros Oriental when, in July 2007, a popular referendum was passed declaring it a city.[5]The point of law at issue in 2007 was whether there had been a breach of Section 10, Article X of the 1987 Constitution, which provides –&lt;br /&gt;
  638. &lt;br /&gt;
  639. No province, city, municipality, or barangay shall be created, divided, merged, abolished or its boundary substantially altered, except in accordance with the criteria established in the local government code and subject to approval by a majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite in the political units directly affected.&lt;br /&gt;
  640. &lt;br /&gt;
  641. – and in each case the established criteria were far from met.&lt;br /&gt;
  642. &lt;br /&gt;
  643. In November 2008, Guihulngan and 15 other cities lost their cityhood after the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted a petition filed by the League of Cities of the Philippines, and declared unconstitutional the cityhood law (RA 9409) which had allowed the town to acquire its city status. The Supreme Court ruled that they did not pass the requirements for cityhood.&lt;br /&gt;
  644. &lt;br /&gt;
  645. On 10 December 2008, the 16 cities affected acting together filed a motion for reconsideration with the Supreme Court. More than a year later, on 22 December 2009, acting on said appeal, the Court reversed its earlier ruling as it ruled that &quot;at the end of the day, the passage of the amendatory law&quot; (regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by Congress) &quot;is no different from the enactment of a law, i.e., the cityhood laws specifically exempting a particular political subdivision from the criteria earlier mentioned. Congress, in enacting the exempting law/s, effectively decreased the already codified indicators. Accordingly cityhood status was restored.&lt;br /&gt;
  646. &lt;br /&gt;
  647. But on 27 August 2010, the 16 cities lost their city status again, after the Supreme Court voted 7-6, with two justices not taking part, to reinstate the 2008 decision declaring as &quot;unconstitutional&quot; the Republic Acts that converted the 16 municipalities into cities. A previous law required towns aspiring to become cities to earn at least ₱100 million annually, which none of the 16 did.&lt;br /&gt;
  648. &lt;br /&gt;
  649. On 15 February 2011, the Supreme Court made another volte-face and upheld for the third time the cityhood of 16 towns in the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  650. &lt;br /&gt;
  651. Finally, on 12 April 2011, the Supreme Court, in an en banc ruling delivered in Baguio City, affirmed the finality of the constitutionality of the 16 cityhood laws by resolving that:&lt;br /&gt;
  652. &lt;br /&gt;
  653. We should not ever lose sight of the fact that the 16 cities covered by the Cityhood Laws not only had conversion bills pending during the 11th Congress, but have also complied with the requirements of the LGC prescribed prior to its amendment by R.A. No. 9009. Congress undeniably gave these cities all the considerations that justice and fair play demanded. Hence, this Court should do no less by stamping its imprimatur to the clear and unmistakable legislative intent and by duly recognizing the certain collective wisdom of Congress. WHEREFORE, the Ad Cautelam Motion for Reconsideration (of the Decision dated 15 February 2011) is denied with finality.&lt;br /&gt;
  654. &lt;br /&gt;
  655. On 28 June 2011 the Supreme Court directed the Clerk of Court to issue the entry of judgment on the cityhood case of 16 municipalities.&lt;br /&gt;
  656. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It lies within the grid coordinates 124°57” East Longitude and 8°52” North Latitude. It is bounded on the North by Gingoog bay; on the East by the Municipality of Magsaysay and the Province of Agusan del Norte; on the West by the Municipalities of Claveria and Medina and on the South by Agusan del Sur.&lt;br /&gt;
  671. &lt;br /&gt;
  672. The city occupies an area of 769.88 square kms. (76,988 hectares)&lt;br /&gt;

  677. &lt;br /&gt;
  678. A spacious or wider area with room for growth and expansion was considered by the settlers at Gahub-Mangiskis, beside the river and the seashore.&lt;br /&gt;
  679. &lt;br /&gt;
  680. Gingoog became a Spanish pueblo in 1868 and became a municipality in 1903 under the United States administration.  During this period the town’s economic growth was spurred by agricultural development and the benefits of forest product/wood-based production by then Sta. Clara and thence Anakan Lumber Company logging operations and the Mindanao Plywood Corporation.&lt;br /&gt;
  681. &lt;br /&gt;
  682. On June 18, 1960 Gingoog became a Charter City.  From third Class, Gingoog city became First Class city in 1982 and continued on to be adjudged Most Outstanding Component City of Region 10 in 1984.&lt;br /&gt;
  683. &lt;br /&gt;
  684. Before the city was served its light and power needs by MORESCO II on December 17, 1978, CEPALCO, a private service firm cater to the city’s needs until the former withdraw its services for reasons leaving the latter experiencing dark nights.&lt;br /&gt;
  685. &lt;br /&gt;
  686. A decade later, the city saw the massive rural road development program connecting circumferential al-weather and dirt roads at least connecting remote barangays to the main routes to the city.  Rural electrification has also started that gained momentum in the start of the 21st Century that presently hundred per cent of the rural barangays are “switched on”.&lt;br /&gt;
  687. &lt;br /&gt;
  688. During the period also, the forest product or wood-based companies have ceased operations in the city while the city wharf services also was gone as boats stop calling port as shippers preferred the proliferating services of the “door to door” delivery container vans from the ports of Cagayan de Oro and Nasipit.&lt;br /&gt;
  689. &lt;br /&gt;
  690. The proposed Gingoog River Mini Hydro Project was already hatched and has been toying in the dreams and aspirations of past and present leaders with complete pre-FS documents and series of technical surveys of the area proposed.  The idea has always become a political issue each and every election year each making the electorate callused or incentive dismissing it as mere propaganda as nothing actually happened.&lt;br /&gt;
  691. &lt;br /&gt;
  692. At present, towards 2010 and onward, the city’s stance is to develop the potentials of the areas of tourism.  It was painfully accepted that with the absence of drivers for vigorous industries and manufacturing ventures, the city is unable to compete with the highly urbanized neighbors who ere strategically located at the gates of transport networks for commerce and industry.&lt;br /&gt;
  693. &lt;br /&gt;
  694. In that direction, the present administration is vent on installing tourist-oriented facilities and infra-supports while offering tax incentives to potential investors.  Much effort was exerted and resources directed towards identifying potential area for economic growth in that stance.  The laudable efforts of the current LCE has greatly changed the facade and overlaying suburbs signifying shift and change and sent positive signal to investors that friendly environs for investment has actually been manifest.&lt;br /&gt;
  695. &lt;br /&gt;
  696. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  700. &lt;br /&gt;
  701. In terms of surface wind circulation pattern, oceanographic data reveals that the coast of Gingoog is greatly influenced by the monsoon systems, namely, the Northeast Monsoon System (November to March) and the Southwest Monsoon System (June to October). Of these systems, the Northeast Monsoon greatly affects the coast and the wind-driven circulation of the bay seems to be directed towards the coast.&lt;br /&gt;

  716. Located on the island of Mindanao, it is the southernmost and 15th-most populous city in the Philippines. It is the regional center for commerce and industry of the Soccsksargen region, and is geographically located within the province of South Cotabato but administered independently of it.&lt;br /&gt;
  717. &lt;br /&gt;

Their name for the city, Dadiangas, is from the thorny Ziziphus spina-christi tree that was once abundant in the area and is now a protected species under Republic Act 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 2007. The B&#39;laan tribe presently lives alongside the city&#39;s new generation of settlers and other immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;

Quezon, General Paulino Santos led the relocation of 62 Christian settlers from Luzon to the shores of Sarangani Bay aboard the steam ship “Basilan” of Compañia Maritima on February 27, 1939. The 62 pioneers, mostly agricultural and trade graduates, were the first large batch of settlers to land in the area with the mission to industriously cultivate the region. After this first influx of pioneers, thousands more Christians from Luzon and the Visayas have subsequently moved into the area, gradually driving some of the resident B&#39;laan to the mountains, who have lost their livelihood.&lt;br /&gt;
  728. &lt;br /&gt;
  729. In March 1939, the first formal settlement in the city was established in Alagao, which is now known as Barangay Lagao. Lagao district was known then as the &quot;Municipal District of Buayan&quot; under the jurisdiction of the deputy governor of the Municipal District of Glan. Until it officially became an independent Municipal District of Buayan on October 1, 1940, appointing Datu Sharif Zainal Abedin—an Arab mestizo married to a daughter of a very influential datu of lower Buayan—as the first district municipal mayor.&lt;br /&gt;

Retreating Imperial Japanese forces made Klaja Karsts Land their last ground for defence, constructing round cement bunkers and tunnels. These bunkers can still be seen at Sitio Guadalupe; most of the tunnels, however, have since been damaged and even destroyed by treasure hunters and land developers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Dadiangas was the seat of government for the Municipality of Buayan electing Irineo Santiago as its first Municipal Mayor on a local election that was held on November 11, 1947. Mayor Santiago was formally inducted on January 1, 1948.&lt;br /&gt;
  739. &lt;br /&gt;
  740. Six years later, in June 1954, the Municipality of Buayan was renamed General Santos as a tribute to the leading pioneer via Act No. 1107[6] authored by Congressman Luminog Mangelen of Cotabato Province.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Velayo, as several large agri-based and multinational firms such as Dole Philippines, General Milling Corporation and UDAGRI expanded into the area. Although it was then qualified to become a fourth class city from being a municipality, the residents rejected a move by Congressman Salipada Pendatun to convert the Municipality of Buayan into a city and to rename it ’’Rajah Buayan’’.&lt;br /&gt;
  743. &lt;br /&gt;
  744. On July 8, 1968, the Municipality of General Santos was converted into a city upon the approval of Republic Act No. 5412, authored by Congressman James L. Chiongbian. It was inaugurated on September 5 of that year, with Antonio C. Acharon became the new city&#39;s first mayor. On the 5th of September in the year 1988, A decade after its inauguration as a chartered city, GenSan was declared a highly urbanized city of South Cotabato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was likewise a big Pueblo embracing an area as far as Cabanatuan City in the north, which was its barrio with the name Cabanatuan before it separated in 1777: the Sierra Madre in the East, San Miguel, Bulacan in the South and Candaba, Pampanga in the West. Gradually as the Spanish power waned an economic progress caught up in the area, the pueblo disintegrated into many pueblos until it remained to comprise only the towns of Penaranda, General Tinio and San Leonardo ( formerly called Manikling) all of Nueva Ecija province.

At a time it was so, some Spanish soldier on certain mission came here when they saw natives crawling through the thick bushes .The soldier halted them and not knowing the local dialect asked in Spanish for the name of the town. The natives know nothing of the Spanish Language and thinking that the Spanish were asking what they were doing answered in Tagalog a local dialect “Gumagapang gapang kamiâ€\x9d The Spanish took it as a name and henceforth called The Pueblo Gapang. In due time, the letter “gâ€\x9d was dropped and the more finesse name Gapan stick to this day. Another legend stated the name came from the climbing and crawling plants that were so numerous in the locality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Thirteen additional Barrios or Barangay were established by then Municipal council or under the charter and they are Bungo, Kapalangan, Puting Tubig, Makabaklay,Maburak Sto Nino, Bayanihan, Sto Cristo Norte, Malimba, Mahipon, Bulak, Parcutela and Marelo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The architecture is Byzantine and was constructed under the successive direction and supervision of Father Loredo,Conejo and Llaneza for a period of about sixteen years, that is 1856-1872. Like most of gigantic building done during the Spanish regime, the church was built through forced labor. The materials used were taken from Laryuhan in Barrio San Vicente and from Barrio San Lorenzo near Pambuan to bring the material to the site of the church, laborers had to line themselves straight between the sources of materials and site of construction and had to pass the bricks from one hand to another. Records show that since 1740, Gapan has “ Cura Parrocosâ€\x9d beginning with father Francisco Medalla. Hence it is also right to assess that the Catholic Church of Gapan is now over two centuries old.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But archaeological findings in October 1975 and May 1976 made by a team of Anthropology students led by Professor Lionel Chiong of Silliman University reveal an early record of men who inhabited not only the present city but also the island of Negros during the pre-Spanish time. The findings were recovered in nine (9) graves in what seemed to be an ancient burial ground in Brgy. Japitan, a coastal barangay lying along the Tañon Strait, facing the island of Cebu, some 17 kilometers from the city proper. The artifacts consisted of celadon plate and bowls, stoneware bowls and jars, a Sung Dynasty (960-1280 A.D.) jarlet, gold beads, iron implements, daggers and a hunting knife with an ivory bone handle.&lt;br /&gt;
  1440. &lt;br /&gt;
  1441. Obviously buried with the dead, the plate, bowls, jars and iron implements were found alongside the skeletal remains, the daggers and hunting knives on top of the breast section and the gold beads inside the skulls in-between the upper and lower jaws. When carbon-14 tested, these findings together with the human skeletal remains were found to date as far back as the 12th century A.D. All this proved that present-day Escalante was inhabited by settlers with a relatively developed culture who were engaged in some form of trade and commerce with the outside world, such as the Chinese and Japanese traders who could have brought the jarlet, stoneware and celadon pieces during the Ages of Contacts and Trade with the East (11th &amp;amp; 12th centuries A.D.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1445. &lt;br /&gt;
  1446. On November 28, 1856, Governor-General Manuel Crespo issued a decree creating the towns of Escalante and Saravia. The decree ordered &quot;that the two towns in question would be separated immediately from their mother town, Silay,&quot; although the spiritual separation of the two &quot;would await the building of churches and convents in Saravia and Escalante.&quot; The latter had its seat of government in the barrio of Nueva Sevilla (Brgy. Old Poblacion).&lt;br /&gt;
  1447. &lt;br /&gt;
  1448. The Parish of Escalante was finally established on May 22, 1860 with Fr. Cipriano Navarro, OAR, as the first Parish Priest. Fr. Navarro, in a report to the Recollect Provincial in 1861, wrote that the inhabitants of his Parish and its 14 barrios lying along the northeast portion of the island from Calatrava to Himogaan, &quot;speak the Cebuano dialect and all, or the majority, came from Cebu, with the exception of those from Barrio Marianas (Himogaan) . . . who came from the district of Iloilo and speak the Hiligaynon dialect.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1449. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
  1450. In 1859, a politico-Military Command was established in Bacolod under Governor Emilio E. Saravia with six towns under its jurisdiction: Escalante, Guihulngan, Jinuboan, Jimalalud, Tayasan, and Ayungon.Two more were added, Arguelles (Sagay) and Calatrava when these were created into separate towns on July 3, 1863. This ended with the division of Negros into two provinces in 1889.&lt;br /&gt;
  1451. &lt;br /&gt;
  1452. Schools for boys and girls were established in the late 1860s. By 1869 a school for boys and another for girls were already operating in the town. By 1890, these schools were among the very few managed by Normal School graduates.&lt;br /&gt;
  1453. &lt;br /&gt;
  1454. As early as 1871, Escalante was a major link between Bacolod and Cebu. A mail service route, Bacolod-Escalante-Tutuban-Toledo, Cebu was already exclusively in use by May 1871. In 1875 a mail boat belonging to Emerenciano Amante, the Gobernadorcillo (Mayor) of Escalante, transported mail between Toledo and Escalante every week.&lt;br /&gt;
  1455. &lt;br /&gt;
  1456. A telegraphic station was established in 1894. The telegraphic cable was extended later on to Tuburan, Cebu and was operational by October 1897.&lt;br /&gt;
  1457. &lt;br /&gt;
  1458. The inhabitants of the town lived from subsistence agriculture. They produced among others, rice, corn, buri, edible root crops, and tobacco. Their second most important economic activity was fishing.&lt;br /&gt;
  1459. &lt;br /&gt;
  1460. Tobacco was grown commercially but its production decreased when monopoly was established starting from the time of Don Emilio Saravia (1855–1857), the first politico-military of the Negros Island. In its stead, sugarcane was gradually being grown. It was not clear when the first sugar mill was established in town. But by 1891, Escalante had already 6 steam-engine sugar mills; 36 powered by horses; and 11 by carabaos. Approximately 848 hectares were planted to sugarcane..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

To capture the hearts and minds of the inhabitants without the use of guns and cannons, the Americans opened the first free elementary school at Old Poblacion in the early 1900s.&lt;br /&gt;
  1464. &lt;br /&gt;
  1465. A Gabaldon-type elementary school building was constructed at Old Poblacion during the term of Mayor Fernando Lucot (1912–1918). The municipal hall and the town plaza were constructed and developed during the time of Francisco Ferrer, Sr. Also at this time, the first municipal school site where the first elementary school was located, was formally acquired, and the installation of the Rizal Monument at the public plaza completed. The municipal portal and Rizal Monument was built on Sept. 15, 1955. The bandstand and skating rink was constructed on September 28, 1935.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The establishment of the general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth Army was active on January 3, 1942 to June 30, 1946 and the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary was active again on October 28, 1944 to June 30, 1946 and military stationed in the town municipality of Escalante during the Japanese Occupation.&lt;br /&gt;
  1469. &lt;br /&gt;
  1470. In 1945, local Filipino soldiers of the 7th, 71st, 72nd, 75th and 76th Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary was liberated the towns in Escalante, Negros Occidental and helping Negrosanon guerrilla fighters defeats and attacking Japanese Imperial forces and ended of the Second World War.&lt;br /&gt;
  1471. &lt;br /&gt;
  1472. In 1941, Victor Bedonia succeeded Francisco Ferrer Sr. as mayor, and was supported by the local guerillas. The siege of all Filipino troops of the Philippine Army and Constabulary units was found liberated in the town municipality on 1945 against the Japanese. He served until 1948. The Japanese however installed Enrique Ballesteros as mayor until the end of the war.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

President Elpidio Quirino issued Executive Order 141 dated May 19, 1948 &quot;Organizing certain barrios of the Municipality of Escalante, Province of Negros Occidental, into an independent municipality under the name Toboso&quot;, to take effect July 1, 1948. Victor Bedonia who was then the incumbent mayor of Escalante opted to become the first mayor of the newly created town of Toboso. Pedro Benignos took over until 1950. In 1951, Evaristo Sanz took over and was replaced thereafter by Amando Tambo. It was during Mayor Tambo’s time when the seat of government, by virtue of Executive Order No. 301 issued by President Carlos P. Garcia on May 30, 1958, was transferred from Brgy. Old Poblacion to its present site at Brgy. Balintawak.&lt;br /&gt;
  1476. &lt;br /&gt;
  1477. The first high school, the Escalante National High School, was donated by Manuel A. Lopez in 1946 and established in 1948. A decade later, in 1961, the Mount Carmel College was established by the Order of the Carmelites. Aside from the churches in the Municipality of Toboso, in Escalante and in Brgy Old. Poblacion, it also erected the Magdalen Hospital which was run by the Sisters of Julie Postel. This hospital is now called the Dr. Vicente Gustilo District Hospital, under the management of the Provincial Government. This placed the new town in an enviable position, not only being a center of higher education and quality medical care in this part of Negros.&lt;br /&gt;
  1478. &lt;br /&gt;
  1479. This brought about profound changes in the socio-cultural, economic and political life of the town as it provided the much-needed opportunity for children of poor families in the area to acquire college education. Other public schools were opened up later on, such that there are now 27 public elementary schools, 6 national public high schools and 3 extension high schools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is located on the northeastern tip of Negros Occidental, facing the island of Cebu. It is 49 kilometres (30 mi) from San Carlos City and 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Bacolod City, the provincial capital. It is bounded on the north and west by the city of Sagay, on the south by the town of Toboso and on the east by the Tañon Strait.&lt;br /&gt;
  1483. &lt;br /&gt;
  1484. Outside the city center of Escalante, there is a separate region of low rolling hills, especially going to its upland barangays towards Mt. Lunay. The hill land section is the remnant of past volcanism and probably, represents either dormant volcanic cinder cones or outliers of a once more extensive volcanic formation. Local residents in the upland barangays of Escalante at the foot of Mt. Lunay testify to period rumblings of a volcano generally believed &#39;to be dead&#39;. An indicator of the dormant character of Mt. Lunay is the existence to this day of a sulphur spring at its foot. Often, the slopes of these hills as in Barangay Binaguiohan are quite steep. However, the steepness of the slope has not stopped Escalantehanons in cultivation of the hillside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Its coasts comprise two surviving ecosystems: the mangrove, consisting of trees and shurbs that occupies the landward portion of its coastal areas; the seagrass, or grasslike plants, that thrive on it shallow nearshore area. In a limited coastal zone, remnants of a third ecosystem, coral reef may be found but in residual, degraded form. The marine waters of Escalante are generally warm throughout the year, except for early mornings of the cool months of December, January and February. Salinity of its waters is within reasonable amount, at 28-36 parts per thousand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During the summer months (April to December) an air stream is directed from the south. This air current follows a counterclockwise path as it approaches the low-pressure center of the Asian continent, and reaches the Philippines from a southwestern direction as the southwestern monsoon or habagat. During the period from November to January, Negros has relatively cool weather as the Asian continent cools more rapidly than the surrounding seas, resulting in high-pressure centers leading to winds being deflected in a clockwise fashion.&lt;br /&gt;
  1491. &lt;br /&gt;
  1492. This period is known as the northeastern monsoon or amihan. From March to April the northeastern wind system dominates. The cool season in Escalante is from December through March. It is also the time when low tides called aya-ay prevail, making beachcombing of its shores more pleasurable. The latter part of March through June is when the highest temperatures prevail. But being largely coastal, Escalante enjoys a constant flow of refreshing sea breeze.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The May 2010 Census on Population showed that population increased to 93,005 persons. This means that on average that population grew by 1.63% annually since 2000. This is only about 3.20% of the province’s population which includes Bacolod City or 3.88% without it. At this rate, the city’s population is expected to double by year 2053.&lt;br /&gt;
  1499. &lt;br /&gt;
  1500. The average household for 2000 was 4.89 persons per household, which is lower than the 5.0 national, 5.1 regional and the 5.24 provincial averages. NSO estimates there were 92,035 persons in 2007 in 18,644 households. This means, the average households size increased to 4.94.&lt;br /&gt;
  1501. &lt;br /&gt;
  1502. As of December 2009, the average age is 24 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
  1503. &lt;br /&gt;
  1504. Escalante has the highest population density (persons/square kilometer) in 2007, among the provinces&#39;s cities at 736.3, second only to the provincial capital, Bacolod City. The provincial average is 362.1, while the cities average 417.8.&lt;br /&gt;

The word dumaguete, meaning &quot;to swoop&quot;, was coined because of frequent raids by Moro pirates on this coastal community and its power to attract and keep visitors, both local and foreign. In 1572, Diego López Povedano indicated the place as Dananguet, but cartographer Pedro Murillo Velarde in 1734 already used present name of Dumaguete for the settlement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Geographically, the city is surrounded by rolling hills to the southeast and the Sulu Sea to the north.&lt;br /&gt;
  1570. &lt;br /&gt;
  1571. Dipolog is known for its wild orchids and its sardine industry which stems from the rich fishing area off its shores. It is known as the &quot;Gateway to Western Mindanao&quot; through the Western Nautical Highway and has also been called the &quot;Bottled Sardines Capital of the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  1572. &lt;br /&gt;
  1573. Dipolog can be reached by plane via Dipolog Airport or by ferry at the nearby Pulauan Port in Dapitan City. The construction of a roll-on/roll-off facility at Barangay Galas will allow for the eventual transfer of the service to Dipolog while retaining inter-island operations at Pulauan, which is soon to become a base port.&lt;br /&gt;
  1574. &lt;br /&gt;
  1575. A popular city attraction is the foreshore Dipolog Boulevard which, though still in its second phase of construction, has become a popular haven for exercise and leisure. It is also the site for various celebrations and festivals in the city. In the third phase of the project, the length of the boulevard will be extended to reach the seaport in Barangay Galas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1579. Dipolog City is known to be as the &quot;Gateway to Western Mindanao&quot; it is situated in the Northwestern part of the Province of Zamboanga del Norte. It is bounded on the north by Dapitan City, on the east by the municipality of Polanco, on the south by the municipality of Katipunan and on the west.&lt;br /&gt;
  1580. &lt;br /&gt;
  1581. Its land area in 1914 covered an approximate land area of 248,587 hectares under Act No. 302 of the Philippine Islands. It was substantially reduced in 1951 to the current 13,628 hectares, after two barrios of Dipolog were converted into Municipalities of Polanco, and Piñan under Executive Order of the President No. 467, dated August 22, 1951.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1585. Spanish regime&lt;br /&gt;
  1586. Earliest recorded political history of Dipolog started in 1834 with the re-organization of Spanish Civil Government. At that time, Tulwanan&#39;s political territory was still part of the Municipality of Dapitan with Don Domingo Ruiz, a native, as its Capitan or town executive. Sometime that year, a Spanish Recollect Missionary arrived in Tulwanan looking for its barrio executive or local chieftain. Upon meeting a native, the Missionary asked; &quot;Donde esta el Capitan?&quot;. The native understanding only the word &quot;Capitan&quot; pointed to the west and said in Subanen Di-pag, &quot; meaning across the river. Guided by his Muchacho a Tagalog boy named Antonio Subido, the Friar proceeded down river and upon reaching the Boholano settlement named the place &quot;Dipag&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  1587. &lt;br /&gt;
  1588. Technically, Dipag and Tulwanan are two different settlements at that time with the former composed of Boholano natives and the latter mostly of Subanen ancestry. When the friar returned to Dapitan, he identified the location of the larger Boholano settlement as Dipag but was not officially written. Frequent conversations by the Spaniards pronounced it in Spanish accent Dipolog which was eventually adopted by the natives. The final political survey surprisingly added the letter &#39;L&#39; written on it after officially becoming a barrio of Dapitan. From that time Tulwanan&#39;s political identity ceased to exist. By the 12th century the Subanen settlers had colonized most of what is now Zamboanga Peninsula region. It was customary for tribes to establish their settlements at the mouth of large river systems due to the abundant food supply. However, due to frequent raids from seafaring Chinese pirates, they decided to move their settlements inland.&lt;br /&gt;
  1589. &lt;br /&gt;
  1590. In the 14th century, Tulwanan was established 6 kilometers inland, adjoining the river near the present day barangay center of Lugdungan.&lt;br /&gt;
  1591. &lt;br /&gt;
  1592. In the 15th century, settlers from neighboring Negros and Bohol islands established coastline settlements in Mindanao but suffered the same raids by Chinese pirates, prompting them to also move their settlements away from the coastline. They established another settlement in what is now called Sianib, a barangay of present-day Polanco town, some twenty kilometers from the coast at Barrio Gulayon(Barangay Gulayon).&lt;br /&gt;
  1593. &lt;br /&gt;
  1594. It was only in 1563 that the first recorded Visayan settlement of some 800 families from Bohol, led by the chieftain Datu Pagbuaya, landed in Mindanao and established a coastal settlement in what is now called Dapitan. This settlement was strong enough to repel the Chinese pirates of the Sulu Sea. As a result, Dapitan Bay was scene of many bloody conflicts between Pagbuaya&#39;s men and Chinese pirates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1595. &lt;h3 style=&quot;background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-style: none; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; position: relative;&quot;&gt;
  1596. &lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Spanish_period&quot;&gt;Mindanao first christian settlement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  1597. &lt;span br=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span br=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span br=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;
  1598. In 1565, Don Miguel López de Legazpi who was accompanied by famed navigator Fr. Andrés de Urdaneta, an Augustinian friar, visited the Boholano chieftain Datu Pagbuaya on the invitation of Datu Sikatuna. There they found the place of Datu Pagbuaya to be a thriving settlement. In his chronicle, Fr. Urdaneta named the place Daquepitan. Peter Kaerius (Pieter van den Keere) identified the location as Dapito in his cartographic map of 1598. It was later identified as &quot;Dapite&quot; in Robert Dudley&#39;s map of 1646. Other names ascribed to the location include &quot;Dapyto&quot; in Sanson&#39;s map of 1652 and &quot;Dapitan&quot; which can be found in Moll&#39;s map of the East Indies, 1729 and in Murillo Velarde’s map of 1734. After Legazpi&#39;s visit, the Christianization of Mindanao was officially initiated by the Augustinian friars who arrived with him.&lt;br /&gt;
  1599. &lt;br /&gt;
  1600. In 1581, members of The Society of Jesus came to the Philippines for the purpose of evangelization. When the country was divided among four religious orders in 1598, the Jesuits were given the Diocese of Cebu which covered the Visayas and Mindanao. Thus Dapitan came to be under the jurisdiction of the courageous men of St. Ignatius and it was Father Pascual de Acuña S.J. who started the Jesuit mission there.&lt;br /&gt;
  1601. &lt;br /&gt;
  1602. In 1609, the squadron of Juan Juarez Gallinato S.J. defeated the Manguindanao Muslims in a ferocious battle near Dapitan.&lt;br /&gt;
  1603. &lt;br /&gt;
  1604. Also in 1609, a permanent Dapitan mission was founded and thereafter headed by a Jesuit missionary, Father Pedro Gutierrez, marking Dapitan as the Center of Evangelization in Mindanao. Mission stations were subsequently established later by the Jesuits in Zamboanga, Iligan, Basilan and Butuan. Outside of these areas, however, the whole of Mindanao remained untouched by the Spanish Cross.&lt;br /&gt;
  1605. &lt;br /&gt;
  1606. By the 18th century, with the Spanish Naval Fleet anchored at Dapitan Bay, much of the piracy—now conducted mainly by moro bandits—was under control within the Sulu Sea. Settlement in coastal areas resumed with new settlers from Negros and Bohol eventually settling in Isab, and Nipaan. The largest settlement, however, was made at the mouth of the Dipolog river by the Boholanos who were not associated with Pagbuaya.&lt;br /&gt;
  1607. &lt;br /&gt;
  1608. From Ruiz, civil administration changed hands in stable succession, with Martino Belarmino, who was popular by the name Maglinte. Francisco Magallanes, Victorio Gobune; another man whose name history record had as Toribio had his chance, followed by Venancio Narvaez, Francisco Orbita, Bautista Narvaez, Martencio Yebes and Sabino Bengua.&lt;br /&gt;
  1609. &lt;br /&gt;
  1610. By 1889, administrative designations reverted to Capitanes, and those appointed were Martin Fernandez, Tomas Narvacan, Eustaquio Cajocon, Simplicio Lacaya, Basilio Tabiliran, Maximiano Ruiz and Bruno Ordinaria in 1898.&lt;br /&gt;
  1611. &lt;br /&gt;
  1612. By February 1894, the Catholic Chapel constructed by the Jesuits was renovated for the first time, on an altar designed by Dr. José Rizal to which now stands the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral.&lt;br /&gt;
  1613. &lt;br /&gt;
  1614. By 1896, the friars established Dipolog as a regular parish and installed Father Esteban Yepes its first administrator in 1897.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  1615. &lt;h3 style=&quot;background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); border-bottom-style: none; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; position: relative;&quot;&gt;

  1618. After the transfer of Spanish sovereignty to the United States in 1897, the U.S. occupation forces renamed the Capitan to Presidente Local, with administrative support from a Vice Presidente Local, a Delegado de Justicia and a Delegado de Policia. Martin Fernandez was appointed Presidente Local in the year 1900, followed by Diosdado Mercado, Gaudencio Zorilla and Isidro Patangan as Presidente Municipal between 1901 and March 1904.&lt;br /&gt;
  1619. &lt;br /&gt;
  1620. By 1900, Dipolog was a thriving commercial community with new settlers arriving from the island of Cebu, outgrowing its principal town of Dapitan which exclusively remained part of Pagbuaya&#39;s clan.&lt;br /&gt;
  1621. &lt;br /&gt;
  1622. By 1910, John Helper, who was previously appointed Secretary of Zamboanga Province, visited Dipolog for two days and conversed with its principalía and members of the Centro Catolico de Dipolog. He was asked later of the possibility of converting the community to an independent Municipality.&lt;br /&gt;
  1623. &lt;br /&gt;
  1624. By 1912, Gov. John J. Pershing of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu decreed the separation of Dipolog from Dapitan.&lt;br /&gt;
  1625. &lt;br /&gt;
  1626. By July 1, 1913, Gov. John J. Pershing declared Dipolog as a Municipality. General Pershing also appointed Pascual T. Martinez as its first Municipal Mayor.&lt;br /&gt;
  1627. &lt;br /&gt;
  1628. The first public school teachers of Dipolog, during this time, came also from Bohol, particularly Maribojoc and other towns. Most were only elementary graduates. But they were well-educated by the American soldier-teachers in Bohol. One of them was a certain Felisa Ruaya who taught at the American-established schools in Dipolog. She lived first near the beach in Punta Coro. Then she married an Adriatico, a native of Polanco. Because the inhabitants converted to Christianity, it cannot be determined whether or not the residents were of Subanen heritage. Felisa Ruaya was the mother of former Zamboanga del Norte vice governor Concordio Ruaya Adriatico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1632. In 1942, Japanese Imperial Occupation forces entered in Dipolog.&lt;br /&gt;
  1633. &lt;br /&gt;
  1634. In 1945, the liberation by the Filipino troops under the 6th, 10th, 101st, 102nd and 105th Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and 10th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary entered in Dipolog together with local guerrillas.&lt;br /&gt;
  1635. &lt;br /&gt;
  1636. Governor Matias Castillon Ranillo Sr. noticed that the waters at Punta Coro wharf were choppy for ships to anchor. Governor Ranillo was determined to provide an alternative access to southern Zamboanga peninsula. Governor Ranillo&#39;s jurisdiction was then the entire Zamboanga peninsula prior to its division between del Norte and del Sur. During Governor Ranillo&#39;s term, aviation was a young technology but he made sure that an airfield was established in Dipolog.&lt;br /&gt;
  1637. &lt;br /&gt;
  1638. He was elected Governor in 1937 and re-elected in 1940 but his term was cut short when President Quezon urged him to run as the lone Assemblyman of Zamboanga peninsula. President Quezon fondly called him &quot;El Gallo Escondido de Malacanang&quot;. In November 1941, he was elected as Assemblyman but one week before his scheduled departure for Manila, World War II broke out. On October 30, 1944, upon the request of the guerillas, he mobilized the able-bodied men of Dipolog and Home guards who cheerfully volunteered to clear the airfield of grass and shrubs.&lt;br /&gt;
  1639. &lt;br /&gt;
  1640. On March 8, 1945, on Dipolog airfield, the first American invasion of Zamboanga peninsula took place. The successful landing at Dipolog airfield established a base for the subsequent recapture of Japanese-held San Roque airfield near Zamboanga City, followed by Sanga Sanga in Sulu, and from there to Borneo and the East Indies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1644. By June 21, 1969, Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed into law the Dipolog City Charter, under Republic Act 5520, making Dipolog a chartered city effective January 1, 1970. Mayor Felicisimo Herrera was made the last Municipal Mayor (1963–1970) and the first City Mayor of Dipolog (1970–1978). On March 8, 1982 the Sangguniang Panlungsod adopted the Dipolog City March composed by Mrs. Antonina O. Romano as the City&#39;s official song.&lt;br /&gt;

  1661. In the early days, Digos was a watercourse, a meeting place of inhabitants belonging to the Austronesians settled along the southern foothills of Mt. Apo. The Digos River meets the Davao Gulf and it is ideal for fishing and bathing.&lt;br /&gt;
  1662. &lt;br /&gt;
  1663. During the Spanish Era, a group of natives carrying bows and arrows were approached by some Spaniards traversing the very fertile tracts of land in Davao. One Lopez Jaena Pacheco, a conquistador during the administration of Governor Claveria serving as the head of the group, inquired about the name of the place from the barefooted natives. Believing that the Spaniards were asking where they were bound to, the natives answered &quot;Padigus&quot;, which means &quot;to take a bath&quot;. Since then the place was identified as Digos.&lt;br /&gt;
  1664. &lt;br /&gt;
  1665. As a portion of the &quot;food bowl&quot; of the province of Davao del Sur, otherwise known as the Padada Valley, Digos lured many migrants, majority of whom came from the Visayas and Ilocos regions to settle permanently in the area. Before World War II, an enterprising American by the name of N.E. Crumb leased 10.24 km² and transformed the place into an Abaca Plantation. This became the hub of economic activity in the locality during those days.&lt;br /&gt;
  1666. &lt;br /&gt;
  1667. Digos was occupied by the Japanese troops in 1942.&lt;br /&gt;
  1668. &lt;br /&gt;
  1669. In 1945, through the brave efforts of the combined forces of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, the local Davaoeño guerrilla units from the Davao peninsula, and the United States military, the Japanese soldiers were defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
  1670. &lt;br /&gt;
  1671. Through the initiation of then Congressman Apolinario Cabigon, Digos, became a regular municipality in 1949 by virtue of Presidential Executive Order No. 236, dated July 19, 1949 issued by President Quirino. Its Coverage included the barrios of Tres de Mayo, Goma Bansalan, Matanao, Darapuay and the Poblacion where the seat of government was located. Before its creation into a municipality, Digos was a barrio of Sta. Cruz, a town 16 kilometers away. On 19 July 1949, the town was formally inaugurated with Benito Rabor appointed as Mayor.&lt;br /&gt;
  1672. &lt;br /&gt;
  1673. Digos in later years, before its conversion into a city, was regarded as the capital town of the Province of Davao del Sur, long before it gained the status of a First Class Municipality in 1993, being center for trade, commerce and education, accruing to its strategic location at the cross point of two principal thoroughfares in the south.&lt;br /&gt;
  1674. &lt;br /&gt;
  1675. In July 1998, the bid to convert into a city was moved and initiated by Hon. Mayor Arsenio A. Latasa, considering its very satisfactory qualifications required for in R.A. 7160&lt;br /&gt;
  1676. &lt;br /&gt;
  1677. House Bill No. 5672 dated November 24, 1998, of Congress authored by Hon. Congressman Douglas Ra. Cagas, led to the drafting of Republic Act 8798, converting the Municipality of Digos into a component City of Davao del Sur, which was signed by President Joseph E. Estrada on July 14, 2000, and ratified by the Digoseños on September 8, 2000.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1681. Digos shares common boundaries with the municipalities of Hagonoy in the south, Bansalan in the north and northwest by Siranagan and Miral Creek and with Sta. Cruz in the northeast. It is bounded in the east by the Davao Gulf. It has a total land area of 28,710 hectares (70,900 acres) consisting of 26 barangays; nine (9) of which comprise the poblacion or urban center.&lt;br /&gt;
  1682. &lt;br /&gt;
  1683. The land topography of Digos City ranges from hilly to mountainous in the north-northeast portion and flat and slightly rolling at the coastal barangays, while the urban area and the surrounding barangays in the south portion are generally flat. Generally, climate in Digos falls under the fourth type while wind direction is prevalent from northeast to southwest. On the other hand, rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year wherein during the period from 1995 to 2000, there was no observed extreme dry or wet season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1687. Agriculture is a major component of Digos City economy. Some 9,330 households or 37% of the total households are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. Of the total households dependent on agriculture, 91% are engaged in farming and the remaining 9% in fishing. The total area devoted to agriculture covered 8, 944.1 hectares, representing 31% of the total land area of Digos. The more important agricultural crops grown in the area include coconut, sugarcane, mango and banana. Among the agricultural crops, the staple crops rice and corn are the most widely grown.&lt;br /&gt;

As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 1,449,296 people, making it the fourth-most-populous city in the Philippines and the most populous in Mindanao. It is the center of Metro Davao, the third most populous metropolitan area in the Philippines (as of 2010 census with a population of 2.26 million, after Metro Manila&#39;s 11.86 million and Metro Cebu&#39;s 2.55 million). With a total land area of 2,444 square kilometers, the city is the largest in the country in terms of land area. The city serves as the main trade, commerce, and industry hub of Mindanao and the regional center of Davao Region. Davao is home to Mount Apo, the highest mountain in the Philippines. Davao is also known as the &quot;Durian Capital&quot; of the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
  1700. &lt;br /&gt;
  1701. For geographical and statistical purposes, Davao City is grouped with the province of Davao del Sur but is governed independently from it. The city is divided into three congressional districts, which are subdivided into 11 administrative districts with a total of 182 barangays.&lt;br /&gt;
  1702. &lt;br /&gt;
  1703. Davao City is constantly described by its residents and the national media as arguably among one of the safe cities in the Philippines, however this has been met with criticisms especially by the people from Metro Manila.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The word davao came from the phonetic blending of three Bagobo subgroups&#39; names for the Davao River, a major waterway emptying into the Davao Gulf near the city. The aboriginal Obos, who inhabit the hinterlands of the region, called the river Davah (with a gentle vowel ending, although later pronunciation is with a hard v or b); the Clatta (or Giangan/Diangan) called it Dawaw, and the Tagabawas called it Dabo. To the Obos, davah also means &quot;a place beyond the high grounds&quot; (alluding to settlements at the mouth of the river surrounded by high, rolling hills).&lt;br /&gt;
  1707. &lt;br /&gt;
  1708. When asked where they were going, the usual reply was davah (pointing towards the town). Dawaw also refers to a trading settlement, where forest goods are bartered for salt and other commodities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Davao was then ruled by a chieftain, Bago, who had a settlement on the banks of the Davao River (then called the Tagloc River by the Bagobos).&lt;br /&gt;
  1713. &lt;br /&gt;
  1714. After Cruz de Oyanguren defeated Bago, he renamed the region Nueva Guipúzcoa, founding the town of Nueva Vergara (the future Davao) on 29 June 1848[10] to honor of his home in Spain and becoming its first governor. He was reported to have peacefully conquered the entire Davao Gulf region by year&#39;s end, despite a lack of support from the Spanish government in Manila and his allies.[citation needed]&lt;br /&gt;

  1716. By Saturnino Urios, who labored among the Moros of Hijo in 1892, divided the population[citation needed]; those who wanted to live among the Christians left Hijo, and were resettled in Tigatto, Mawab and Agdao under the supervision of Francisco Bangoy and Teodoro Palma Gil. These groups generally refer to themselves today as Kalagans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The bill called for the appointment of local officials by the president.&lt;br /&gt;
  1721. &lt;br /&gt;
  1722. Davao was inaugurated as a charter city on October 16, 1936 by President Manuel L. Quezon. The City of Davao became provincial capital of a united Davao Province. It was one of the first two towns in Mindanao to be converted into a city (the other was Zamboanga). By that time, the city&#39;s population was 68,000.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Davao was among the earliest to be occupied by Japanese forces, and the city was immediately fortified as a bastion of Japanese defense. The city was subjected to extensive bombing by forces led by Douglas MacArthur before American forces landed in Leyte in October 1944. The Battle of Davao towards the end of World War II was one of longest and bloodiest battles during the Philippine Liberation, and brought tremendous destruction to the city, setting back the economic and physical strides made before the Japanese occupation.&lt;br /&gt;
  1726. &lt;br /&gt;
  1727. In 1967, the Province of Davao was divided into three provinces: Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental and Davao del Sur. The city of Davao became part of Davao del Sur; no longer the provincial capital, it became a commercial center of southern Mindanao. Davao has become an ethnic melting pot[citation needed]; it attracts migrants from throughout the Philippines, lured by prospects for prosperity in the country&#39;s second-largest city.[citation needed] During the 1970s, Davao became regional capital of southern Mindanao; with the reorganization, it became the regional capital of the Davao Region (Region XI) and highly urbanized city in the province of Davao del Sur.&lt;br /&gt;
  1728. &lt;br /&gt;
  1729. The city witnessed mayhem as it entered the early 1980s. It became a focal point for conflict between criminals, communist guerrillas and leftists.[citation needed] The conflict inside the city became severe that murders in the streets were the norm at the time. It lasted until 1985, when the locals formed the vigilante group &quot;Alsa Masa&quot; (People&#39;s Rise) to drive out such elements from the city.&lt;br /&gt;
  1730. &lt;br /&gt;
  1731. Real social stability in the city, however, began in the earnest when Rodrigo Duterte first assumed office as the city mayor in 1988. The city was still considered that time as the country&#39;s murder capital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, is located at the city&#39;s southwestern tip. Mount Apo National Park (the mountain and its surrounding vicinity), was inaugurated by President Manuel Quezon (in Proclamation 59 of May 8, 1936) to protect the flora and fauna of the surrounding mountain range.&lt;br /&gt;

  1739. The Davao River is the city&#39;s primary drainage channel. Draining an area of over 1,700 km2 (660 sq mi), the 160-kilometre (99 mi) river begins in the town of San Fernando, Bukidnon. The mouth of the river is located at Barangay Bucana at Talomo District.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Average monthly temperatures are always above 26 °C (78.8 °F), and average monthly precipitation is above 77 millimetres (3.03 in).

It is located approximately 27 kilometres (17 mi) south of Manila. As of 2010, Dasmariñas is now the largest component city and the 12th largest city in the country in terms of population with 575,817 people. It is classified as &quot;first-class&quot; city in terms of income classification and has a land area of 90.1 square kilometers (34.8 sq mi).&lt;br /&gt;
  1829. &lt;br /&gt;
  1830. The growing congestion and outward urban expansion of the Metropolitan Manila Area has set up a favorable atmosphere for the development of the city. This inevitable growth is manifested by the influx of industries,the presence of large educational and health institutions, and the growing number of subdivisions elevating its economy.&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  1835. The origin of the name “Dasmariñas” is “Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas”, a Spanish governor of the Philippines from 1590 to 1593. After his death, his son Luis Pérez Dasmariñas was the governor from 1593 to 1596. Pérez Dasmariñas came from San Miguel das Negradas, Galicia (Spain). Dasmariñas literally means “from the marines” in the Galician language (NW of Iberian Peninsula). According to Agustin de la Cavada in his Historia Geografica, Geologica y Estadistica de Filipinas, this town started as a barrio of Imus and it was made into an independent municipality in 1867. &lt;br /&gt;
  1836. &lt;br /&gt;
  1837. The Spanish government named the town of Perez Dasmariñas in honor of Don Perez Dasmariñas who was the Governor General of the Islands from 1590 to 1593. Chinese oarsmen whom he had hired murdered him. His son, Don Luis Perez Dasmariñas also lost his life in the hands of the Chinese in 1603. Don Gomez Dasmariñas was well remembered because he was the one who ordered complete fortification of Intramuros and the construction of Fort Santiago. &lt;br /&gt;
  1838. &lt;br /&gt;
  1839. The town of Perez Dasmariñas was founded by the Recollect Fathers in the year 1867 under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception whose feast day is celebrated on December 8. Perez Dasmariñas was formerly a “visita” of Imus that was also founded by the Recollect Fathers in 1795. According to records, the first settlers must have arrived in 1861 and were believed to be the families of Gil Tirona, Vicente Guevarra, Eleuterio Geda and Eustaquio Paulino.  &lt;br /&gt;
  1840. &lt;br /&gt;
  1841. Dasmariñas has a colorful history. On February 25, 1897, the Spanish forces came and brought destruction to the town and its people. Almost fifty percent of the population was wiped out during the attack and almost all buildings were burned down except the Roman Catholic Church which remained undamaged. The Spaniards utilized it as their garrison. At the coming of the American fleet of Admiral Dewey and the famous naval battle of Manila Bay in May 1898, which defeated the Spanish forces under Admiral Montojo, the people of Dasmariñas under the leadership of Placido Campos, fought and drove away the Spaniards occupying the town. Noted Filipino generals like Flaviano Yengko and Crispulo Aguinaldo (elder brother of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo) died in action in Dasmariñas during the encounters.  &lt;br /&gt;
  1842. &lt;br /&gt;
  1843. The people who resettled back thereafter rebuilt the town that was heavily devastated. So sooner was it rehabilitated, then in the late 1800s, the Filipinos were again up in arms, this time against the Americans. Then again, Dasmariñas was annihilated and identity was lost in a heap of rabble. Two years later, the American regime took over and in 1904, the town was again reverted to its former distinction as part of Imus. In 1917, however, Dasmariñas re-gained its recognition as a separate municipality. Consequently, provincial Governor A. Soriano along with leading officials of the town particularly Placido N. Campos, Francisco Barzaga, Felipe Tirona and many others, convened and voted to drop the name “Perez” and retain “Dasmariñas” as its official name. Today, Dasmariñas is complemented with over 556,000 population (as of 2007). &lt;br /&gt;

  1845. As one of Cavite’s municipalities situated within the Metro Manila urban area, Dasmariñas serves as the main catalyst for a major economic development and sustained growth throughout the 1990s. The influx of industries and real estate developments is unheard of in a town outside of a financial district, attest to the fact that Dasmariñas is way ahead in crossing the bridge to the 21st century. The next millennium is a challenge but Dasmariñas will no doubt prevail.&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &amp;quot;roboto&amp;quot; , &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
