Economic, Social and Environmental Profiles

AGRICULTURE
The Municipality of President Roxas is considered an agri-base community because of the vast
tract of lands devoted to sugarcane production in support of the raw materials needed by the
sugar mill in the municipality, the Capiz Sugar Central (CSC), for sugar manufacturing. The

town is also rich in other agricultural crops like coconut, corn, palay and root crops. Aside from
agricultural products, President Roxas is also endowed with rich fishing grounds that harbor a
vast array of marine resources such as fish, crabs, shrimps and other shellfish. It has nine coastal
barangays that serve as the main source of fishery products in the locality and in the other parts
of the province. There are business operators in the locality that engage in trading fishery
products like shrimps and crabs to Metro Manila and other parts of the country.
The municipality of President Roxas has a total land area of 7,788.00 hectares, 6,794.0185 of
which is devoted to agriculture broken down as follows: 5,671.4169 hectares for croplands and
1,294.7829 hectares for fishponds.
Like most towns of Capiz and in Panay Island, President Roxas is primarily an agricultural
municipality. Around 87% of the total municipal land area is devoted to agricultural production.
A big portion of agricultural area which is 1,810.84 hectares is devoted to sugarcane plantation.
It is due primarily to the proximity of the sugar mill hence it entails lesser transportation cost
for more profit.
Coconut is the second most important crop with 1,236.14 hectares. Other important crops
include rice, corn, banana, root crops, vegetables and fruits having a combined area of 986.17
hectares. Cultivation and harvesting of sugar is the main source of income of the people,
especially in upland barangays, Although rice is the most important of all staple foods of the
Filipinos, farmers in Pres. Roxas prefer sugarcane to cultivate than Palay because of the
generally rolling terrain of the municipality which is unsuitable to rice production, limited
irrigation facilities and the higher economic value of sugar compared to rice.
The shortage in supply for local rice requirement is supplemented by neighboring
municipalities. Crops such as corn, banana root crops, vegetables and fruits are harvested on a
small-scale basis, sometimes grown only for household consumption. However, when there are
surplus production of these crops, they are also sold in the municipal public market.
LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY
There are fifteen (15) livestock and poultry farms registered with the Municipal Agricultural
Office. These farms are distributed in the different barangays. The production is sufficient to
the meat requirements of the residents of the municipality, however, the local production cannot
cope with the public market demand considering that the residents of neighboring towns prefer
to buy meat and other products at Pres. Roxas public market. Local meat traders therefore resort
to buying livestock and poultry products from adjacent municipalities.
FISHERY
President Roxas is endowed with rich fishing grounds that harbor an array of marine resources.
Nine of the twenty-one barangays are in coastal area and these are barangays Aranguel, Marita,
Pantalan, Pinamihagan, Pondol, Quiajo, Sangkal, Madulano and Pandan. Fishermen in these
barangays fish around Tinagong Dagat, which is an inlet of Pilar Bay. However, a large potion
of the income from fishery can be attributed to fishponds wherein milkfish, prawn and oysters
are bred and cultivated. Milkfish, prawns and oysters are commonly raised in brackish water.

The total fishpond area is 1,294.7829 hectares while rivers and creeks wherein marginal
fishermen use as their fishing ground and shellfish farm has an area of 216.6058 hectares. There
are two fish wharves in the municipality; one is located in Barangay Pantalan and another in
Barangay Marita. The total marine produce of the municipality is traded from these two
wharves. Most fishpond operators regularly transport their products to Iloilo and Metro Manila.

FORESTRY
Areas with more than 18% slope are considered protected forest of President Roxas, this
comprise 160.3408 hectares. Forest areas are located in upland barangays. Bigger portion of
which is located at Barangay Bayuyan..

Official Historical Timeline and Accounts
1.3.1
Founding Facts
President Roxas was originally the small community of Lutod-Lutod, Barrio Aranguel in the
old town of Pilar. Sitio Lutod-Lutod was a cogonal and shrubby area where a variety of trees,
game birds and animals abound. Inhabitants in this area are minimal, less than what your
fingers could count according to stories. During the heyday of sugar production in Visayas, it
was discovered that the plains of Lutod-Lutod where very suitable for sugar cane plantation. In
1924, the first sugar mill was installed right at the side where the Central Azucarera de Pilar
(now Capiz Sugar Central) now stands. Elizalde and Co. acquired the sugar mill which
improved production and became one of the biggest sugarcane producers in the Philippines.
The burgeoning sugar industry resulted to rapid influx of population in Sitio Lutod-Lutod. The
inhabitants were either employers or workers of the sugar central
and the sugarcane
haciendas. The progress of the sugar industry also gave rise to the emergence of the small-scale
industries, merchants and retailer groups. Eventually, Lutod-Lutod became a big community
and a stable source of income for the municipality of Pilar.
Former Pilar Mayor Don Braulio M. Patricio, Jr. whose wife was the talented Bonifacia Roxas,
cousin of President Manuel A. Roxas, initiated the creation of a separate town. Through the
help of his compadres Tio Feling Asis and Sebastian Corro and his nephew, Attorney Pacifico
Patricio Pacis, mobilized the peoples initiative petitioning the creation of the municipality of
President Roxas. From 1948-1949, the Municipal Resolution separating President Roxas from
Pilar was intensely debated until finally affirmed and approved by the Town Council in 1949.
In congress, Representative Ramon Arnaldo and Senator Oscar Ledesma co-sponsored the
House Bill creating a new municipality from the territories of Sitio Lutod-Lutod, Barrio
Aranguel and the neighboring coastal and mountain barrios in the area. On June 14, 1949 by
virtue of the enactment by the joint session of the Congress and the Senate of the Philippines.
Republic Act 374 was signed into law by Philippine President Elpidio Quirino, making the sitio
as the new Municipality of President Roxas. The municipality was named in honor of President

Manuel A. Roxas (a renowned Capiceo) and was officially inaugurated on November 30,
1949. RA 374 provides for the conversion of sitios into barrios and its separation from the
municipality of Pilar. The barrios include Aranguel, Culilang, Pandan, Pinamihagan, Quiajo,
Sangkal, Pondol, Marita, Madulano, Jaboyana (now Viscaya), Cabugcabug, Goce, Badiangon,
Bayuyan, Agbolo (now Manoling), Ibaca and Elizalde (Poblacion). The seat of government
was placed at Barrio Elizalde in the Poblacion, which was the former Sito Lutod-Lutod. Barrio
Carmencita, Cubay, Sto. Nio and Pantalan were later created. Barrio Hanglid was created after
1970.

Today, President Roxas has become one of the more vibrant and active towns in the Province
of Capiz. President Roxas is an agricultural community which is proud of its heritage, culture
and its people.
1.3.2

Origin of Names
1st Version
The place is seen as fragments due to the gentle break of streams when gazed on the
highlands of Badiangon and Tabun-acan. Thus the word utod-utod which later on
became Lutod-lutod
2nd Version
On another account, it is said that the place is called Lutod-Lutod because it is the
location in which the chopped body of Datu Kalmerin, wrapped in Badiang leaves
were scattered/buried so that it will not reconstitute again. Hence, it is named utodutod and later on called Lutod-Lutod

1.3.3

Historical Profile

PRE-COLONIAL

In the pre-Malay days, the Island of Panay was known as Aninipay. Toward the
northeastern portion, the central mountain racollectively called Mt. Agudo, spray its floods
through serried streams and deposit them into the throbbing wat
waters of the inland coves and bays. Between these swollen streams of Catipayan-Lantangan,
Cabugcabug, Tinundan, Culilang and Alangan, little islets appear as though floating, being part
of the delta ebbed, heave with rich vegetation, even in forest. From June to August of every
year, the floods linger, and to the travelers from Bairan (Bailan) on their way to the rich village
of Dulangan, these seeming heaps of the earth come out of the water like the magic stepping
stones of some fairyland.

Toward Dulangan, the banks are higher, but once on those banks, water seeking a short
route by pass the curb of the stream and rush over luyan or depression and thus isolate the
pilgrim temporarily. Hence, the Hiligaynon term, na-alangan for stranded or marooned.
Today, this stream or river is called Alngon for short and was so named by surveyors and
engineers who built a concrete and iron bridge over it to connect the provincial and national
roads going to Pilar. The Lutods, fragments or nodes in the journey of the commuter are like
gentle breaks little swells when gazed upon from the highlands of Badiangon and tablelands of
Tabun-acan, hence, the name Lutodlutod.

The Adventure of Datu Cal Merin

First Version

During the early years of 1600, an Arabian nobleman by the name of Caliph Merin
disappeared from Mecca and teams of searchers, often renegade datus, carried on the search far
and wide. Some of the datus got information that close to the thriving settlement of Dulangan,
is an isolated village where the ruler tells of a mysterious bell made of silver and and tipay stone
that echoes the muezzin call three times during the day. Moreover, they learned that the village
chief was

a foreigner who married a beautiful native and were blessed with a very beautiful arang or
daughter named Dayang Arang-hela or Princess Arang. Famous warriors notably datus came to
the village to win the heart of the princess.

The search team suspected that the missing nobleman must have sought isolation in this
village. After inquiries, the suspicion became verified. An expedition, therefore, to bring back
Caliph Merin was mounted headed by Datu Palawan, who settled in the island of Palawan
during the long search for the missing nobleman.

Coming in peace, Datu Palawan was warmly received by the well-disciplined villagers of
handsome brave men and beautiful women thriving in a progressive settle-ment headed by Datu
Cal Merin, for thus was his name called by his loyal constituents. A tearful and happy reunion
took place between friends for it was indeed the missing nobleman who ruled the renowned
village.

Enchanted by the beauty if Princess Arang, for it is the beauty of this princess that helped
spread the fame of Cal Merin, Datu Palawan and his men decided to stay to gain the favor of
Datu Cal Merin and ultimately to win the heart of the princess.

Second Version

More than 365 years ago a Muslim missionary from Arabia of noble descent, travelled to
a far away land and eventually settled in the rich village in what is now Aranguel. This nobleman
named Datu Cal Merin married a very beautiful daughter if the native chief, and they were
blessed with a very beautiful arang or daughter whom they named Dayang or Princess Aranghela. It was the angelic beauty of Princess Arang that helped spread the fame of Cal Merin (who
eventua-

ally became village king) to other islands in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Meanwhile in the South, the rival Muslim sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao were eager
to win constituents from other islands to boost their political ascendancy and influence over the
area. It was the Muslim traders who travel from place to place where word about Muslim
settlements in Palawan reached the Sultan of Sulu. He thus sent his nephew and one of his
trusted aides, Datu Palawan, a Tausug, to settle the area and offer protection to the settlers from
hostile rival Muslim groups.

While settled in Palawan, word came from traders that a progressive settlement headed by
a Muslim, Datu Cal Merin, is thriving in the area in Northern Panay near Tinagong Dagat. The
traders further noted that muslim pirates from Mindanao were harassing the area. Upon
receiving this news, Datu Palawan (after notifying and receiving blessings from the Sultan of
Sulu, Basilan, Borneo and Palawan) gathered his trusted warriors and sailed to Tinagong Dagat.
Reaching the settlement through the Alangan River, he was well received by Datu Cal Merin.
Laying his good intentions before Datu Cal Merin and offering himself and his men as allies in
the name of the Sultan of Sulu, a feast was held in Datu Palawans honor. It was in the
presentation that followed, as was the custom of the day in welcoming guests, where Datu
Palawan spotted and got attracted to Princess Arang who was an excellent dancer. They were
formally introduced to each other by Datu Cal Merin. A beautiful romance between Princess
Arang and Datu Palawan ensued.

The Great White Bell

(Ang Bukay nga Lingganay)

It was in this period of peace and prosperity when the Muslim pirates called Moros from
Mindanao danao, who wreaked havoc on the fisherman of the rich Tinagong Dagat, heard of
the bounty of this village and came to abduct young men to be made as slaves and beautiful
women for their wives. At first the natives were looted helplessly because their alarm signal
was that a Tultugan nga Kawayanonly. To effectively prepare for further intrusion into the
prized territory. Datu Cal Merin engaged the services of skillful artisans and made a great bell
out of silver laced with high quality tipay or white stones from nearby Sitio Catipayan to
forewarn the natives in case of attack. Pealing sound of the bell can be heard as far as 40
kilometers in perfect weather condition. The bell was said to measure 6 feet in height and 7 feet
in diameter weigh about four (4) tons. The importance if this Bukay nga Lingganay in protection
the village became apparent during the subsequent attacks of the muslim pirates where the
natives, duly forewarned, successfully repelled the attackers. Hence, the Muslim determined to
take away the bell out of the village and subjugate the area.

The Moro Invasion

The Political Version

Year 1635: Sultan Kudarat of Mindanao sent hordes or thousands of Moro warriors to
attack Aranguel. This invasion force was ably headed by Datu Tagal. The assault landing was
announced by the Great White Bell in mournful tones. Upon hearing this unmistakable sound,
Datu Cal Merin caiused the SAFE

his Muslim ayatollah, or in the far oriental term, priest or hinto. This priest named Hinto-Tulo
was renowned for his charms and incantations that could subdue even the weather and the

unruly seas. It was the good fortune of the invading Datu Tagal to have the services of this high
priest, because the waters at the mouth of the swift Alngon River called for skillful navigation
and supernatural skill.

The assault was mounted during the less rainy days of September, and the Muslims met
with initial success in their landings. But they did not reckon with the supernatural powers of
Cal Merins protector - the Genie Man-apao, a relative of Aladins powerful servant. Man-apao
was a three-in-one. He appears sometimes as a hunter with enchanted lance or spear named
Agbubulo; sometimes as a trapper Gat Agyayating, the magic net; sometimes as
domesticator or culture of fish and plants and was known as Magat-Yawo.

To shield Cal Merin from his enemies, Man-apao endowed him with the power of
reconstitution. Whenever a part of Cal Merins body is cut off and separated , the dews of the
early evening will magically return them to their place in the main body. This must be, for Cal
Merin would call out loud prayers when the sun rises the next day. These were the forces against
which the invading Moro warriors have to contend with.

The assault landings of Datu Tagal and his men was announced by the great white bell in
mournful tones. On hearing this unmistakable sound, the three-in-one Genie Manapao
summoned his enchanted Tilaran or Pearl-Divider, his magical spear and laya or trapnet. This
last device was woven out of strong spider web strands from the forests of Tabun-acan. Cal
Merin soon was able to gather and brief his fighting men.

The battle furiously ensued. The lantakas of the invaders spewed both havoc and fright
among the defenders. Datu

have been included in the history of Pilar. One account however, put forward by Atty. Jovencio
Bereber was that since 1630 up to 1635, when the great battle of Aranguel between the invading
Moro force of Datu Tagal and that of the defenders led by Datu Cal Merin was fought, a roman
Catholic Church was already established in barrio Aranguel. Reportedly, Datu Cal Merin while
originally an adherent of Islam religion, was converted to Christianity, hence during the battle
he was already a Christian. The edifice was however destroy during Japanese occupation from
1942 to 1944.

Another account related that the place where Barrio Cabugcabug is now situated was the
residence of the then Governadorcillo Alvaro Alcantara who exercised governmental powers in
this locality and even placing Pilar under his jurisdiction. Other remnants of the Spanish regime
include the hacienderos: the late Don Juan Ydirin and Don Francisco Uriondo of Catipayan
once known for its white sands and stones; former managers of Central Azucarera de Pilar,
Isaac Arana, don Antonio Belzarena, Don Sebastian Corro, and Alfredo Ordonez.

THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION

On November 1939, one of the worst typhoons hit the place. The old folks named it Bagyo
Ugis because of its strength that barks of trees were separated from the wood. Galvanized iron
flew and many houses were destroyed. It seemed that Bagyo Ugis was a portent of worst things
to come for barely three years following that calamity, a worst man-made calamity did come.

Sitio Lutodlutod, Bario Aranguel (Andres Bonifacio) of Pilar, Capiz had its worst share of
casualties both to lives and property during the invasion of the Japanese Imperial Army in the
Philippines. Before Pearl Harbor was treacherously bombed by the Japanese on December 8,
1941, Sitio Lutodlutod was leading a peaceful life and enjoying the rich bounties offered bt the
resources in the surrounding the area.

To prepare for the invasion of sitio Lutodlutod, the seat of the dollar earning industry which
is sugar, a group of USAFFE officers organized the NORTHERN PANAY GUERILLA on July
1942, Barrio Aranguel, Pilar, Capiz. The officers responsible for the organization where: Col.
Braulio Villasis one of the first Graduate of Philippine Military Academy and son of Juana
Fuentes, the sister-in-law of Juan Alcan-tara the son of former gonernadorcillo Alvaro
Alcantara; Technical Sergeant Manuel Ibaez, Eser Boric, George Lopez, Lt. Damaso Cuada
and Enrico Borci. The organization was the first to be organized in Panay and was later on
adopted by the Regional Guerilla Unit.

The original number of soldiers of the USAFFE (United State Armed Forces in the Far
East) numbered to 15 with additional recruits operating in sitio Lutodlutod and its neighboring
barrios with the following arms: Springfield, Infield, Bar Rifles, a few hand grenades and
salvaged ammunitions. The guerillas were poorly armed.

On the Japanese landing at Roxas City on april 18, 1942 Patrol troops were assigned to
Central Azucarera De Pilar Compound which they converted into a garrison, and at Pari and
Pilar. The Japanese were under the command of a certain Col. Kimura, with 50 soldiers and

superior arms like the double action rifle, mortar locally known as Pikbong, hand grenades,
machine guns, land mines, armored cars, and several thousands round of ammunitions.

The garrison was loaded with food and everything together with sophisticated radio
communication equipment.
.The main objective of the Japanese Patrol in Central was to hunt for guerillas. Meanwhile, the
guerillas was not to engage the enemy in the open but to do intelligence work and to conduct
hit and run ambuscades. Eventually, the imperial Japanese Forces established a township in
Sitio Lutodlutod, with
Jose Amunatigue as Mayor.

Lutodlutod and its neighboring barrios experienced the worst drive of the Japanese in 1943
where more than a thousand people - men, women, children, young and old were brutally
executed in mass. It was in this year when the Japanese conducted an all out operation to let the
guerillas surrender and and later established the Japanese government. A Juez de Cuchillo
was launched by the Japanese where these dreaded acts were conducted in the guise of meeting
of all men in certain barrios. Upon the assembly of all men, interrogation followed and later,
the men were made to dig their graves and executed with their Samurai or riffle.

The barrios the experienced the worst mass execution were: Bayuyan, Badiangon,
Baclayan, Yating and at the Central. It was said that ten years after, numerous skulls were found
in the vicinity of the said barrios. Dreaded people who helped the Japanese in prosecuting
Filipinos were called espiyas or spies. They go with the Japanese with bayong in their heads
with holes where they can see. They point to civilian-guerillas or otherwise which the Japanese
executes.

Due to the limited forces of the guerrilla, a neighborhood system was organized. Their
functions are the same with now Barangay Tanods except that they act as special couriers,
kargadors and counter-spies of the army.

The lives of the civilians were uncertain. They lived in fright and tension. Some even
experienced the worst psychological disorders resulting to neurosis. To protect their lives from
the Japanese, they evacuated to the mountains and to the seaside barrios. Trade, agriculture and
commerce went on sporadically and some experienced hunger during the year of 1943.

Spanish nationals who were caught during the war were the following: Juan Ydirin,
Francisco Uriondo, Sebastian Corro, Manuel Cosgayon, Ignacio Sanchez, and Isaac Arana.
They also fled to the evacuation centers and left thousands of tons of sugar at the central. Money
or currency at that time had dramatically took several changes. From the currency before the
war, it was followed by the Emergency Notes during the Japanese Occupation. These notes
were printed oncoupons, then came the Bogus bills, followed by the Montelibano notes and the
Japanese money. The old folks related that in order to buy one ganta of rice you need to have
one bayuyot of Japanese money. After the war came theVictory money during the time of
President Manuel Roxas.

The atrocities and the destruction to properties were not the sole making of the Japanese
but also of the army and some civilians. School buildings were burned down, churches bombed.
Also were not spared houses big and small suspected to be occupied by guerilla or Japanese
soldiers.

The war saw heroic deeds not only by the USAFFE but the hundreds of civilians, men and
women alike. In the year 1943, when the Juez de Cuchillo was in full swing, one heroic deed of
women emerged. Badiangon at that time was the evacuation site of many people from Sitio
Lutodlutod. Mrs. Natividad Escolin was one of the many married women who evacuated
together with their families.

One day the Teniente del Barrio, the late Tiyo Bitoy Baltar, was informed by some couriers
of the Japanese that all the men of their barrio should assemble for a meeting at Barrio Bayuyan,
the nearby mountain barrio more or less four to five kilometers away from Badiangon.
Immediately, the Teniente del Barrio gathered all the men and they trooped to Bayuyan. With
the men was Patricio, the husband of Natividad Escolin, and her younger brother Ireneo Ybaez.

Their son Noning, who later became a member of the Sangguniang Bayan overheard at the
Cuadra that Ang maulihi mag-abot pagapatyon; ang mauna pagapatyon man (the first and the
last to arrive will be killed). The assembly of men the preliminary activity of the Japanese in
the mass execution during the Juez de Cuchillo days.

Sensing danger in store for his father and uncle, Noning ran back to his mother Natividad
and told him of what he heard. Natividad did not lose time and gathered her brood and stepped
down from their house to see Col. Kimura at the garrison at the Central. Upon seeing Natividad
and her brood walking to the central, many women whose husbands were at the meeting in
Bayuyan went with them.

They marched the five-kilometer road from Badiangon to the Japanese Garrison at the
Central. It was mid day and the sun was scorching. Unmindful of the distance and racing against
time they doubled their steps, some women and children crying to the uncertain fate of the men.

Arriving at the Japanese Garrison with heavy breathing. Natividad sought audience with
Mr. Hain, a German employee of the Central who introduced them to Col. Kimura. The Colonel
listened to the halting narration of Natividad as confirmed by the women (more than 20 of
them). The officer after understanding the plight of the women led Mrs. Natividad Ybaez
Escolin, grabbed his communication set and radioed to Bayuyan.

Col. Kimura then knew that another group of Japanese whose jurisdiction was to the
vicinity of Sara, Iloilo were getting ready for the mass execution at Bayuyan. The colonel then
ordered them to stop what they were planning to do and asked them that any erring person be
presented to him personally.

Upon hearing the order of Col. Kimura who has a senior officer, the Japanese soldiers
allowed the more than 200 men to leave the area and return to their respective barangays.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF
PRESIDENT ROXAS

Geographically, the easternmost portion of the Province of Capiz comprises the vast
municipality of Pilar. On the western portion of this municipality is situated the legendary
Barrio Aranguel, some 36 kilometers away from Roxas City, with Sitio Lutodlutod as the center
place owing to the presence of a sugar central.

Sitio Lutodlutod of Barrio Aranguel was cogonal and shrubby area with variety of trees
where game birds and animals abound. Inhabitants and houses in thisarea can becounted by
ones fingers. The area had adjoining rolling plains with rich soil suited for sugarcane and with
good water source afforded by the Algon River, a sugar mill was installed right at the site
where the Central Azucarera de Pilar (now Capiz Sugar Central) now stands in 1924. In the
ensuing years, the mill fell into the hands of Elizalde and Co. and as sugar industry becomes a
lucrative business, the mill capacity was improved and developed to cope with the growing
sugarcane production.

The new condition in the are resulted to the rapid growth of population concentrated in the
sitio of Lutodlutod.
Among the inhabitants are either employees or workers of the sugar central and sugarcane
haciendas. This also gave rise to the emergence of small-scale industries, merchants and retailer
groups. Eventually the sitio of Lutodlutod became a huge source of income of the municipality
of Pilar.

The election of 1947 failed to bring back into office as mayor of the municipality of Pilar,
Don Braulio M. Patricio Jr. whose wife was the talented Bonifacia Roxas, cousin of President
Manuel A. Roxas. Through the help of his compadres Tio Feling Asis and Don Sebastian Corro
and his nephew, Attorney Pacifico Patricio Pacis, and Pedro Baltar, they made a popular
initiative of petitioning and working for the creating of the Municipality of President Roxas,
thereby separating from the mother town of Pilar. The Year 1948-49 saw the prerequisite
RESOLUTION for the creation of a separate municipality under intense debate at the Municipal
Council of Pilar. Then Municipal Council of Pilar was presided over by an adverse NP Mayor,
assisted by an adverse NP Vice Mayor, with four NP Councilors and two LP Councilors. The
two NP councilors, the HON. Jose J. Samson, and HON. Tomas S. Solis, Transcending political
party affiliations, together with the two LP councilors, HON. Felicisima E. Asis and HON.
Mariano M. Patricio (father of former board member Atty. Eliezer A. Patricio) voted in the
affirmative for the approval and passage of the resolution.

While the petition for the conversion of the place into a municipality was heating up, a
private high school sponsored by the cooperative efforts of the Central Azucarera management
and local benefactors was established as the oldest private school in eastern Capiz. Thus, on
Ferbruary 1949, the Elizalde Cooperative Academy, home of quality education, was born. The
establishment of Elizalde Academy was a great blessing to the people of the place for thereafter,
many graduates of the Central Elementary School and at Aranguel and other neighboring barrios
of Pilar, Maayon and Pontevedra

In Congress, Congressman Ramon Arnaldo and senator Oscar Ledesma co-sponsored the
BILL creating a new municipality from the territories of Sitio Lutodlutod, Barrio Aranguel and
the neighboring coastal and mountain barrios in the area. On June 14, 1949 by virtue of the
enactment by the joint Fourth Session of the First Congress of the Philippines of REPUBLIC
ACT 374, which was signed into law by President Elpidio Quirino, the Municipality of
President Roxas was born. The municipality was named in honor of President Manuel Acua
Roxas, a foremost Capiceo, and was inaugurated on November 30, 1949.

Republic Act 374 which created the Municipality of President Roxas provided among
others, the separation from the municipality of Pilar, of the following sitios and barrios to
constitute the new municipality of President Roxas: Aranguel, Culilang, Pandan, Pinamihagan,
Cadoulan, Quiajo, Sangkal, Pondol, Marita, Mandulano, Jabuyna (now Vizcaya), Bo-ac,
Cabugcabug, Goce, Badiangon, Bayuyan, Agbobolo (now Manoling), Cubay, Ibaca, and the
sitio Lutodlutod hereby converted into a and the sitio Lutodlutod hereby converted into a barrio
to be known as Barrio Elizalde (Poblacion). The seat of government was placed at Barrio
Elizalde, the Poblacion. Barrio Carmencita, Sto. Nio, and Pantalan were later created. Barrio
Hanglid was created after 1970. Presently there are 22 barangays with the exception of
Cadoulan and Boac which are only sitios of Pinamihagan and Cabugcabug respectively.

foot of Aranguel near the Alcantaras residence.

In the middle part of the year 1951, the worst flood, around three feet deep, ever to happen was
experienced by the municipality especially along the roads where the ACES Theater now
stands, from the Alcantaras down to the SWA compound

pound. Two houses were carried by flood and hundreds of ducks, chicken, pigs and bags of rice,
salt, sugar and other commodities of commercial establishment perished. The flood happened
during daytime and people were seen riding on bancas, improvised bamboo and banana rafts

while others swam. Source of the flood water was said to be the torrential rains followed by a
landslide somewhere along the mountains of President Roxas and Pilar.

During this period landmarks existing were Royal and Burmon theaters.

The Administration of
Mayor Jose Peping B. Viterbo Sr.

(1955-1962)

The second elected Mayor of the municipality was Mayor Jose Peping Viterbo Sr., a
nacionalista, who served for two terms from 1955 to 1962. During his first term (1955-1958),
Hon. Manuel Bertuldo was the Vice Mayor with the following as Councilors: Hon. Virginia

Longanilla, Hon. Serafin Tupaz Sr., Hon. Ramon Bucayan, Hon. Florido Basallo,Hon. Ireneo
Sevilla, Hon

the theaters found on Roxas City and Iloilo was established. It was also during this period when
the Capiz Electric Cooperative began serving the power needs of the community, taking over
the power operations from the Alcantara Electric Company which supplied the power needs of
the place even before it became a municipality.

It was also during the time of Mayor Locsin when the annual municipal and religious fiestas
are graced by the presence of movie stars which further spread the fame of President Roxas to
other places. Possessing a superior and commanding personality, it was said that one will surely
know Mayor Locsin popularly called Don Ramon, is around because of the presence of
entourage of vehicles and men.

The election of 1980 saw the holding power of Mayor Locsin where he won in a hotly
contested election against Dr. Leny Viterbo, a liberal and Atty. Jovencio Bereber, an
independent candidate. During the second term of Mayor Ramon C. Locsin from 1980 to May
20, 1986, his Vice Mayor was Hon. Sulpicio Villanueva with the following as Councilors: Hon.
Ernesto Sevilla, Hon. Edgar Distajo, a professional electrical engineer, hon. Johnny Sin, Hon.

Pablo Bereber, Hon. Rolando Briones, Hon. Jose Y. Escolin Sr., Hon Federico Burgos and Hon.
Joel Garovillo, CAP Personnel Officer. The ex-officio members of the municipal council were:
Hon. Tomas Gariando (ABC President) and Hon. Jun Beltran (KB Federation President).

On November 5, 1984, President Roxas suffered the fatal visit of the great Typhoon
Undang, which started at about 9:30 in the morning and lasted until 2:30 in the afternoon. It
was the worst typhoon to visit Northern Panay with heavy destruction to lives and properties
from Sara Iloilo, passing through the coastal municipalities of Capiz, up to Kalibo, Aklan. Total
reported death toll for Capiz was around

700 and multi-million worth of properties perished, mostly sugar, aqua products and
government infrastructures. That historic day coincided with the opening of the crop year 198485 milling season of Central Azucarera de Pilar. After the devastation, almost all houses made
of light materials were leveled to ground, fruit and coconut trees and CAPELCO electrical posts
sprawled the roads. Tidal waves aggravated the death toll and several moving incidence took
place. There was a family clinging on rooftop. When a big wave stroke, it feel apart. The rest
of the bodies were recovered somewhere in the waters of Aklan. In Pilar, one baby held by the
mother suffered an instant death when a bundle of coconuts fell on him through the nipa roof.
Another incident in Jolongahog tells of a woman whose body was hit and cut in half by a flying
G.I. sheet.

Several dead bodies were recovered along the fishponds and rivers of Culilang. It was
during this time that fisherman suffered economically for months after the visit of typhoon
Undang because people were allergic to eat seafoods. One remarkable incident occurred to a
fisherman from Pilar who was lucky enough to ride in a helicopter from Kalibo where he was
rescued, to Pilar after surviving the tidal waves which their group encountered while fishing at
Pilar Bay. The catastrophy, however, brought a blessing to other fishpond operators who got to
be instant rich after most fishponds stock of prawn and bangus entered their ponds, thus
enjoying a bountiful harvest afterwards. The relief and rescue operation from the local and
national government and from the private sectors especially the Elizalde and Company helped
much to relieve the pain of shattered lives of the local populace.

The Administration of
OIC Mayor Mamerto B. Asis and OIC Mayor Pablo Bereber

(May 20, 1986 November 27, 1987)

The historic EDSA Revolution of February 25, 1986 and the assumption into the
presidency of Corazon C. Aquino paved the way for the cessation in office of all elected
municipal officials nationwide, and the subsequent appointment of Officer in Charge (OIC)

Atty. Mamerto B. Asis, Proprietor of the ACES Theater. Hon. Pablo Bereber was appointed as

The Administration of
Mayor Raymund S. Locsin
(May 1998 - 2007)

In the May 1998 national and local election, Vice Mayor Raymund S. Locsin ran for Mayor
with Rafael Santos of PRIMSAN as his contender. In the hottest election in President Roxas,
considering the protagonists belong to landed estate families, Raymund S. Locsin won to

His Vice Mayor was Rosauro Buenafe with the following as councilors: Hon. Carlito Badana,

Elmer Medialdea, Hon. Federico Burgos and Hon. Proceso Abendao. The ex-officio members
of the council were ABC President Roberto Acoyong and SK
Federation President Eric Aguihap. Punong Barangay Lourein

Lourein Posadas took over the ABC now Liga ng mga Barangay presidency in 1999.

Among the projects undertaken during the administration of Mayor Raymund S. Locsin
are: the Clean and Green Program where the Municipality of President Roxas won 4th Place in
the Province of Capiz and 1st Place in the First District.; the establishment of the Telephone
Exchange Center of the DOTC adjacent to the Municipal Building; concreting of
municipal/barangay roads at Manoling, Goce, Bayuyan, Badiangon, Carmencita, BLISS
Pantalan, Campo, Lagubang, SWA-Cabugcabug and Dupaz-SWA; and the establishment of the
first Technical School in townthe extension school of Capiz Institute of Electronics. Also in

Golden Harvest Award as One of the Best Secondary School in Capiz Division with Joenel
Edward Tipon as One of the Three Most Oustanding Secondary School Teachers in Capiz
Division.

Last March 1999 Capiz Governor Vicente Bermejo donated an amount of P400,000.00 as
a starting fund for the President Roxas Water System which will be implemented in two phases.
The Latest development of this project was that P500,000.00 from Senator Franklin Drilon plus
P10 Million Loan from LWUA has been earmarked for the Water System Project with a pledge

of P 2.5 million for 1999 only from Congressman Mar Roxas and P 2.0 million from Rodolfo
Biazon for the year 2000. The estimated total projects cost amounts to 16 million. To avail of
collateral-free loans from
LWUA, the project proponent is required to raise an equity equivalent to at least 10% of the
total project cost.
The LWUA policy stipulates the higher the equity, the lesser the interest rate. Hence, the
Municipal Government under the leadership of Mayor Locsin is striving its best in assisting the
President Roxas Water District chaired by Mr. Danilo So
Danilo So, in fund sourcing to raise the equity, thereby, availing of lower interest. This will
redound to lesser water bills once the water system is put into operation. The project to be
implemented soon will greatly improve the quality of life the people which is the mission of the
present Locsin administration.

Another major project in the making is the Concrete-paving of Avalo-Marita road costing
P1 million. This project is expected to greatly benefit not only in Marita but all the five coastal
barangays of the municipality.

It is historically that in the first term of the administration of this young, energetic, and
golden chief executive Raymund S. Locsin, fall the Golden Jubilee or 50th Foundation
Anniversary of the Municipality of President Roxas which features, Mural Painting/Logo
Making Contests, Golden Jubilee Invitational Basketball Tournament. The The Stage Play Ang
Kasaysayan Sang President Roxas on November 26, Thanksgiving Mass, Wreath Laying,
Evolution of Costumes CivicCultural Parade, and the Anniversary Program in the morning
and evening of November 30, 1999.

After completing his 3 terms (1998-2007) as a Mayor, Raymund Locsin ran on the May
2007 Elections and won as Provincial Board Member on the 1st district of the Province of Capiz,
serving from 2007-2010.

Mayor Rosauro Buenafe

The Administration of
Mayor Raymund S. Locsin
(2010 - Present)

-Part 1-

1.0 Barangay Profile

1.1 A Brief History of Barangay Bayuyan

Seven kilometers (7km.) from the town of President Roxas, Capiz lays Barangay Bayuyan.
It is surrounded by mountains and along with it is a river that supplies it with water.

Early settlers strategically planned on how to make this place and ideal one wherein their
families can live. With their collaborative efforts they were able to level a formerly elevated
area and this serve as their plaza. The remaining that was slightly elevated become the school
site.

Because of its geographical location almost all were farmers. They cultivated the rich soil
of the mountainside. They planted it with corn, rice and other crops that could thrive in the soil.
They lined up mountains with coconut trees. Long before cars of all sorts had known, people
transport their products to town on foot carrying their locals on their heads, shoulders or back.
Others had their sleds carried by carabaos. They had to pass rough feeder roads and cross many
rivers before they can reach the town.

Many asked how this place got its name Bayuyan. Researchers were made and from
reliable source the story goes this way:

It was all started during the time of the Spanish regime. One day while the natives were
busy toiling their farms the Spanish soldiers came and when the natives saw them they were so
afraid and they ran as if they were running for their lives. In their astonishment, they shouted
the words Ang baboy buy-an, ang baboy buy-an which means release of the pig and this also
caused shock and confusion to the Spanish soldiers. For reasons that could not be explained,
the Spanish soldiers returned to where they came asking each other why the natives acted that
way and what did the words they shout mean. On their way home, somebody asked them where

had they been and they answered in Baboy-an. From that on, the place was used to be called
Baboy-an from the phrase baboy buy-an.

As years passed by, many things happened in Baboy-an Bayuyan up to this present
day.

There were person behind in the making of this Barangay Bayuyan namely: Don Simon
Posadas, Martin Fuentes, Wencislao Alayon, Catalino Bontipula and Macario Virtuoso. The
Barangay Captains were: Jacinto Bereber, Pantallion Hondrada, Agustin Malayo, Gregorio
Manuel Agullana, Norberto Alayon Sr. Eriberto Estrella, Nelson Daluyo, Pepito Alayon and
Rudolph Estrella the present Brgy. Captain of Brgy. Bayuyan, President Roxas, Capiz.

1.2 Agrarian Sanitation

1.2.1 Situation Prior to CARP

Brgy. Bayuyan was a vast plantation of sugarcane surrounded by its hilly coconut and
timber covered mountains. The adjoining Barangays of Sto. Nio, Badiangon, Carmencita and
Cabugcabug were owned by a sole landowner Doa Luisa Locsin, who hails from Negros,
under the Locsin-Consing Enterprises.

Of the total land area of Brgy. Bayuyan, almost 35% of such was still under the ownership
of the Locsins, thus, the lifestyle of the residents was patterned similar to that in Negros where
haciendas hacienderos was a common terms. The residents at that time were the sacadas
(paid laborers) of Hda. Luisa earning below the average daily wage rate.

Plantation,

Fishing,

Based on the story told by one of the old folks here in Barangay Culilang, name Culilang comes
from the name of beautiful lady with many Spanish suitors CORY. Since Spanish pronounce
letter R as L, they often cald as CULI and no one else they love but only CULI, and
lately they called this place as CULILANG, its because they love CULI LANG and no one
else.

Before CULILANG it was originally called Hacienda Purisima Concepcion from the name
of the Patron Saint, Emmaculate Conception with a feast day every December 8. Year 1930s
this hacienda was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Vedasto and Constancia Javelosa and when they died,
it was transferred to their five sons namely: Cesar, Freddie, Ramie, Jun, Danilo (Javelosa
Brothers). Under their administration, Vedasto T. Javelosa Memorial School and Chapel were
built/donated by Javelosa Brothers.

During their time, people were very happy experiencing such activities/events rendered by the
said administration such as:
a. Weekly benefit dance (every Sunday) wherein ladies and gentlemen laborers are allowed to
go to sleep with pay on the following day.
b. All residents are obliged to attend holy mass at the chapel at 6:00 oclock in the morning
every day, but if they fail, their daily salary will become 7/8 (1 hour lacking). There was a
permanent priest named Father Velez from Janiauay. Iloilo, stayed at convent beside the chapel.
c. SACADA were being feed free and the cooking materials used is CAWA (can be seen
until now at the custody of Gepanayao Family). Plates used are upas, ladies are made of coconut
shell, and glasses are made of bamboos. Children used to fall in line in getting their foods.
d. Carts of ice cream were given free to the people every time ice cream enter the Barangay.

There was a cargo transport vessel called Batel/Casco carrying sacks of rice, and lime
boarding in Sitio Pantalan delivered at Culilang then when they go back to Iloilo, muscovado
was being carried by the said Batrel/Casco.

Listed below are the name of Tenyente del Barrio/Barrio Kapitan/Barangay Captain/ and now
Punong Barangay.

Lately, year 1967, Mr. and Mrs. Nemesio/Estela Tan, acquired the said hacienda, and with no
particular reason, it was again called CULILANG. During their time, people were given a
chance to have SSS and medicare benefits. When they all died, the hacienda were haired by
their three daughter, now called MLS FARM delivered from their names Madelyn, Lucille
and Sonia Tan, Since they migrated to US, America with their families, MLS farm was managed
by Hon. Ferdinand L. Bacanto, at the same time Punong Barangay of Barangay Culilang, last
October 2013 election.

Today, Barangay Culilang is more different than the previous administration. Through the full
support of MLS Farm, Culilang now has street lights from crossing to Culilang proper and also
at the high way. Chapel and Health Center were newly renovated. Barangay Hall and Plaza is
now under renovation (on going) Foot walk, children park construction is going on and soon to
arise is the housing project called VILLAGE named after the name of the late landowner N
& E Tan Village.

BARANGAY PANTALAN

CHAPTER I

GEOGRAPHY

A. HISTORY

Long time ago there was a river at the Western part of Lutod-Lutod (President Roxas). This
river can be found from the mountain of Barangay Cabugcabug penetrated going down to
Tinagong Dagat.

This river has an estimated width of forty meters and a depth of almost twenty feet. It was
used as landing place of the fisherman from the other neighboring islands to trade the fishes,
crabs, clams, prawns, shrimps, oysters and other seafood products caught from the sea.

In World War II, Japanese Era, the place had been used by the Filipino as hiding place
because of its tall bamboos, shrubs and trees located in the area. The aforementioned river was
also used by the Japanese in transporting their supplies and equipments during war.

After World War II, the river had been used by Central Azucarera del Pilar as wharf in
exporting their finished-products to the parts of the Philippines. Because of the wide-span of
the river, it was alsoused by the fisherman as wharf for their fishing vessels.

In the operation of Central Azucarera del Pilar at Lutodlutod, its management installed
railway connecting the wharf going to central compound. Because of the railway and wharf
they had installed, they could simply transport their molasses, sugar and other products
conveniently from the wharf to their compound, vice versa.

The wharf had also used in importing of fertilizers, limestones (apog), seafood and other
agricultural products came from its adjacent provinces at Western Visayas such as Iloilo and
Bacolod.

Because of the increased of employment and population in the area, most of the people
established and built their houses near on the vicinity.

People residing in the area named the place as Pantalan which means pier or wharf.

At first, it was recognized as Pantalan Cabugcabug as one of the sitios of Barangay

Cabugcabug.

On June 14, 1949 by virtue of the enactment by the joint session of the Congress and the
Senate of the Philippines. Republic Act 374was signed into law by Philippine President Elpidio
Quirino, making the Sitio as the new Municipality of President Roxas. The municipality was
named in honor of President Manuel A. Roxas (a renowned Capizeo) and was officially
inaugurated on November 30, 1949. RA 374 provides for the conversion of sitios into

barrios and its separation from the municipality of Pilar. The barrios include Aranguel, Culilang,
Pandan, Pinamihagan, Quiajo, Sangkal, Pondol, Marita, Madulano, Jabonaya (now Vizacaya),
Cabugcabug, Goce, Badiangon, Bayuyan, Agbobolo (now Manoling), Ibaca and Elizalde
(Poblacion).

In the mid 1950 and 1960 the first appointment for Teniente Del Barrio at Pantalan
Cabugcabug was conducted in appointing Mr. Leodegario Abad by the Municipal Mayor.

In 1961-1963 Mrs. Beatriz Pareo was the first female and second Teniente Del Barrio of
Barrio Pantalan Cabugcabug. After the leadership of Mrs. Pareo, she had been followed by
Mr. Claudio Amador in the year 1963-1966.

In 1966, Eddie D. Orquio had been chosen by its inhabitants to be the next Teniente Del
Barrio of Barangay Pantalan. Eddie D. Orquio served the Barangay for 2 consecutive years.

In an election conducted in 1968 Pablo Bucayan had won against the incumbent Teniente
Del Barrio Eddie D. Orquo. Pablo Bucayan served the Barangay for 2 successive years from
1968-1970.

In the year 1970 and election was conducted, for the second time around Pablo Bucayan
decided for re-election for Teniente Del Barrio, but he was failed. His opponent had won against
him and that was no other the Eddie D. Orquio.

Eddie Orquio served Barrio Pantalan Cabugcabug as Teniente Del Barrio for twelve (12)
consecutive years from 1970-1982.

Because of the population increase of Pantalan Cabugcabug in 1970, it had been separated
from Barangay Cabugcabug and it was named as Barangay Pantalan, one of the Barangays of
the municipality of President Roxas, province of Capiz.

The seat of government was placed at Barrio Elizalde in the Poblacion, which was the
former Sitio Lutod-Lutod. Barrio Carmencita, Cubay, Sto. Nio and Pantalan were later created.
Barrio Hanglid was created after 1970.

Due to bad health condition, Eddie Orquio had been replaced by the first elected Barangay
Kagawad Roble Morales.

Roble Morales served as the Acting Barangay Captain in the year 1982-9183.

In 1983 an election of Sangguniang Barangay had been conducted Mr. Eduardo D. Orquio,
Sr. the brother of the former

The church is located at the center of barangay proper. It was built by the Spaniards
in about 16th Century from which they identified the place as ideal for their purpose
of converting the natives to Christianity. It was made of corals with the mixture of
lime and clay.
It was said that the church location was a bartering port during Chinese time which
they called Embarcadero The church was about 10 ft. high but as the years
passed, nag-usmod ang dingding sang wall sini ukon nagtaas ang bun-od kay
balahaan ang lugar
Before, a chapel was constructed within the perimeter of the ruins
After it was destroyed by Super Typhoon Yolanda, the concrete posts were built
beside the ruins.
