BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROVINCE OF GUIMARAS AND ITS MUNICIPALITIES

It was Gonzalo Ronquillo de Pen alosa, a Spanish leader, who established the Spanish settlement in Guimaras for the purpose of the Christianization of the

natives of the island. He and his subordinates organized the pueblicitos or villages of Nayup, with San Pedro Apostol as the patron saint, and Igang, with Sta. Ana

as the patroness.

In 1742, the island fell under the jurisdiction of Dumangas until 1751 when the Augustinian Order was replaced by the Jesuits, after which the Dominicans

took over Guimaras. By 1755, it was organized into a regular parish. When the population increased considerably, the island was given its municipal status with

a seat of government at Tilad (Buenavista). In 1908, during the American period, the Guimarasnons were given the democracy to elect their municipal

president.

One great American left an indelible mark in the island. Douglas McArthur, fresh graduate from West Point as a Second Lieutenant at the age of 23, came

to Iloilo as the head of the company of Corps of Engineers. They constructed roads and the Sto. Rosario Wharf, presently named McArthur's Wharf, which are

still in use today.

Guimaras formerly known as Himal-us and was first gained its status as a sub-province of Iloilo by virtue of R.A. 4667,

which was enacted by Congress on June 18, 1966. It was proclaimed as a regular and full-fledged province on May 22, 1992

after a plebiscite was conducted to ratify the approval of its conversion pursuant to Section 462 of R.A. 7160.

Shortly after Guimaras acquired its provincial status, President Fidel V. Ramos appointed

Emily Relucio-Lopez as its first Governor.

The Province of Guimaras was first made up of 3 municipalities (Jordan, Buenavista and

Nueva Valencia). In 1995, by virtue of Republic Act No. 7896 and Republic Act No. 7897, the

Municipalities of Sibunag and San Lorenzo were created respectively in the Province of

Guimaras. The two new municipalities officially acquired their municipal status after the May 8,

1995 plebiscite held simultaneously with the local election.

Mayor Ernesto L. Gedalanga was the first appointed Mayor of the Municipality of Sibunag

and Mayor Arsenio Zambarrano was also appointed as the Mayor of San Lorenzo. The temporary

seat of government of the Municipality of Sibunag is at Brgy. Sabang while the temporary seat of

Government of the Municipality of San Lorenzo is at Brgy. M. Chavez.

BRIEF HISTORY OF BUENAVISTA MUNICIPALITY

Amidst the aquatic scenery of Western Visayas standing firm, full of vigor and radiance is the Island Province of Guimaras where farms of one of the U.S.

Certified sweetest mangoes in the world can be found.

At the heart of the province, there is an enchanting beauty of nature awaiting you. Buena! Vista! Exclaimed by the first Spanish Governor who came in the

island. Thus, the place named Buenavista, which means “Good View” or “ Beautiful” as it is rich in natural resources, beauty spots and historical spots such as

beaches, mango plantation, rice farms, limes, limestones, caves and mountain resorts, Enchanted Rock, McArthur’s Headquarters, McArthur’s Wharf and Camp

Jossman.

The beautiful Town of Buenavista or “Good View” town is one of the five municipalities that comprise the Island Province of Guimaras. It is the oldest

among the municipalities, hence, it is called the “mother town”. Formerly, it was named as “Tabuk” (across), “Himal-us” (revenge) or “Tilad”.

The history of the town started as early as 1581 when a small settlement governed by Spaniards led by Gonzalo de Pen alosa was constructed atop the

hilly area of Barangay Old Poblacion overlooking the Guimaras Strait. Pen alosa was amazed by the fine forest timber, limestones deposits that abound the place

with excellent hunting and fishing grounds. Obviously, this town

is rich in natural resources and beauty spots.

Presently, Buenavista is composed of 36 barangays with

its new Town Hall is located in Barangay New Poblacion and the

Municipal Government started July, 1913 is administered by

Mayor Eugenio Gallo Reyes. In his administration, faster delivery

of services to the public is noticeable such as improvement in

Municipal Hall, port, market, roads and many more

infrastructures, which lead to a well-developed beautiful Town

of Buenavista.

xix


BRIEF HISTORY OF JORDAN MUNICIPALITY

The history of Jordan dates back to the time when the island was Christianized by the Spaniards in 1591. The towns then were known as

pueblicitos (villages) of Nayup (Buenavsita) with San Pedro de Apostol as patron saint; Nabilhan (Jordan) with San Juan

Bautista as its patron saint; and Agang (Nueva Valencia) whose patroness was Santa Ana.

Although during the Spanish regime, there were separate powers between the church and the state, yet the church had much influence in the creation

of pueblos (towns) and also in other affairs of the government.

Jordan was part of Buenavista when the Spaniards gave Guimaras its municipal status in 1886. The development of Guimaras and the steady growth of

population necessitated the splitting of the island into municipalities. It was in January, 1918 during the term of Presidente Municipal Melquiades Javellana,

that the progressive barrio of Nagaba was established as a municipality. Its area of jurisdiction included the barrio of then Sta. Ana (Nueva Valencia). Valeriano

Villanueva was appointed as the Presidente de Municipal and served the municipality until 1919.

In preparation for its independence, the Americans

established the Commonwealth government. In Jordan,

Hugo Chavez was appointed as the Commonwealth Mayor

from 1936-1938. He was succeeded by Leodegario

Galarpe (1939-1941) who served until the invasion of the

Japanese in 1941.

Guimaras, being a wooded area during that time, was

made the sanctuary of people coming from Panay. In

Jordan, Cirilo Galotera served as Municipal Mayor for only

six months. The Japanese imposed a system of

government known as KALIBAPI or Neighborhood

Association headed by a Speaker.

xx


BRIEF HISTORY OF NUEVA VALENCIA MUNICIPALITY

The history of Nueva Valencia, just like that of other towns in the island of Guimaras, dates back to the time when Himal -us (Guimaras) was Christianized

by the Spaniards in 1591.

The towns were known as pueblicitos (villages) of Nayup (Buenavista with San Pedro Apostol as patron saint; Nabilhan (Jordan) with San Juan Bautista as

its patron saint; and Agang (Valencia) whose patroness was Santa Ana. Although during the Spanish regime there were separate powers between the church

and the state, yet the church had much influence in the creation of pueblos (towns) and establishment of parishes. It was also mentioned in the “History of

Panay” by Regalado and Franco, that in Panay, the towns included under the jurisdiction of Ogtong (Oton) were the three towns in the Island of Himal-us,

namely Nayup, Nabilhan and Agang. In 1742, the island fell under the jurisdiction of Dumangas until 1751 when the Jesuits took over from the Augustinian

Order. In 1768, the Dominicans had spiritual jurisdiction over Guimaras until 1775 when it was organized into a regular parish with Iloilo.

With the coming of the Spaniards, trade and commerce also flourished as Spain opened markets to foreign countries. There was a “galleon trade” between

Manila and Acapulco. Iloilo at that time was known as the “Fort of the Southern Archipelago.” Just like at present, the sea route from Manila to Panay passed the

western portion of Guimaras, through the Iloilo Strait and docked at Fort San Pedro. The Spaniards saw the need of a lighthouse to guide the incoming and

outgoing vessels especially during dark nights and when typhoon occurred. The suitable place for a lighthouse was in Himal-us (Guimaras).

The group, with some engineers, landed in Puyu which at that time, the landing point of vessels. They went on foot until they reached a place which is now

Sitio Guisi. Such place was ideal for a lighthouse since it could be seen far away from the sea. The Spaniards named the place as Punta Santa Ana in honor of the

patroness of typhoon. A lighthouse was constructed which operates until today.

The Spaniards had come to like the place of Santa Ana which extended from the

lighthouse to Sitio Puyu. Eventually, population increased and the Spanish authority

created Santa Ana as a town and named it Valencia after a town in Spain which

patroness was Santa Ana. The first appointed “alcalde mayor” was Don Manuel

Segovia. The municipal building called “Casa Real” was constructed and was located

adjacent to the site of now Nueva Valencia National High School. Later, the seat of the

municipal government was transferred to Barrio Igang when the Casa Real was razed

by fire due to an unknown cause. Igang then became the Poblacion and the whole

town was named Nueva Valencia or “New Valencia”. Valencia became a barrio named

Santa Ana.

xxi


BRIEF HISTORY OF SAN LORENZO MUNICIPALITY

San Lorenzo, officially the Municipality of San Lorenzo, is a 5th class municipality in the

province of Guimaras, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 26,112

people. San Lorenzo was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 7897 on February 20, 1995. It is

known for its wind farms.

xxii


BRIEF HISTORY OF SIBUNAG MUNICIPALITY

Sibunag is one of the two new municipalities created in the province of Guimaras through RA 7896. Such creation was validated with COMELEC

Resolution en banc after the plebiscite conducted during the May 1995 election.

Situated Southeast of Guimaras Island facing Negros and is separated from that island by Guimaras Strait. It is composed of fourteen (14) barangays

where the twelve (12) barangays were from the mother Municipality of Jordan and two (2) barangays were from Nueva Valencia. Sabang, San Isidro, Sebaste,

Alegria, and Bubog are the coastal barangays while Maabay, Dasal, Ayangan, Ravina, Millan, Tanglad, Oracon and Concordia are the inland barangays and

Inampulogan, which is an island barangay. It has a total population of 17,773 scattered among 14 barangays and a total land area approximately 147.40 square

kilometer occupying 21% of the total land area of the whole province.

Mythical Origin

Even before it was created as separate Local Government Unit, Sibunag is named after its main river, abounds with spellbinding folktales and legends.

The tragic story of Guima and Aras (popularized by Guimaras writer, Romeo G. Garganera) happened in the shores of Sibunag as the ill-fated lovers desperately

crossed the stormy sea to Baglas, now Negros, to escape the wrath of an angry father.

Legend also says that Sibunag, son of a deity and a mortal was stolen

when only a baby. He was cared for and raised by a fairy. His numerous and

amazing adventures and romance found niche in the hearts of folklore writers.

Sibunag river remains even today, not only the main source of gravel and

sand supply of the province but also an important waterway from the mainland

Guimaras to the island waters where the longest river in Guimaras could be

seen with its tributaries originate from the springs of the three mountains of

Dinalman, Bontoc and Tigbi, strategically located in Barangay Millan. By mouth

of Sibunag River are wide areas of fishponds. Along its shorelines to Alegria

and San Isidro are sources of bangus fry, bulgans, talakitok, mayamaya, kanlay,

crustaceans especially the kamuntaha, lobsters, prawns and seashells.

The Countryside in Figures: Guimaras, 2019 Edition GENERAL INFORMATION

I. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

Guimaras dubbed as the “Mango Country of the Philippines,” is one of the

six (6) provinces that comprise Western

Visayas, Region VI as also called. As an island province, it is located

southeast of Panay Island and northwest of Negros Island and bounded by Iloilo

Strait in the northwest, Guimaras strait in the northeast, and Panay Gulf in the

south. Guimaras is the smallest of the six (6) provinces of

Western Visayas both in terms of land area (604.57sq km) and population size

174,613 (as of 2015 Census).

The island is part of the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras, one of the twelve

metropolitan areas of the Philippines. The province consists primarily of

Guimaras Island, and also includes Inampulugan, Guiwanon (or Guiuanon), Pano-

bolon, Natunga, Nadulao, and many minor surrounding islands. Geologist have

concluded that the island once formed one landmass with Panay.

The province is composed of five municipalities, namely: Jordan, the pro-

vincial capital; Buenavista; Nueva Valencia; and the newly created

Sibunag and San Lorenzo. Guimaras occupies about 3% of the region's total land

area. Jordan which is the capital town comprises 21 percent or almost the same

area with that of Buenavista; while Nueva Valencia has the largest, 137 sq km or

23 percent, Sibunag has 20 percent and San Lorenzo gets the smallest, 93 sq km

or 15 percent of the province’s land area.

Moreover, Guimaras, is accessible by air and sea from Manila and other

destination via Iloilo City. From Iloilo Wharf, it can be reached by a 20- minute

motorboat or Roll-On-Roll-Off trip (RORO) facility from Lapuz, Iloilo City. Other

alternative routes to Guimaras are: via an hour trip of RORO from

Pulupandan, Negros Occidental to Sebaste Port in Sibunag, and of

pumpboats from Pulupandan and Valladolid, Negros Occidental to

Tumanda, Cabano in San Lorenzo.

II. TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE

A simplified topographic contour map indicates that the great part

of islands land area is above 100 masl. By comparing the topographic

features from the 1956 topographic maps with the present situation, it

could be concluded that the island topography has not been altered much

by man-made activities.

The island’s topography shows quite steep slopes on the western

side of island with plateaus and peaks above 200 m in the central portion.

A large part or 69% of the total land area is within the 0-18% slope,

19.73% is above 18-30% slope, 9.42% is above 30-50% slope and 1.74

percent is above 50% slope.

II. TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE

Guimaras province is an island ecosystem composed of five coastal municipalities which covers a land area of 60,547 hectares. The topography of

Guimaras Island varies from level to steeply sloping with land elevation ranging from 0 to nearly 300 meters above sea level. Mt. Dinalman, located in

Millan, Sibunag, has the highest elevation of 267 meters above mean sea level.

III. INCOME CLASSIFICATION

The municipalities are categorized into income classes as basis for taxation, determination of administrative and statutory aids,

financial grants and other forms of assistance to local governments.

CHAPTER 3. POVERTY AND INCOME

48

The Countryside in Figures: Guimaras, 2019 Edition POVERTY AND INCOME

Poverty incidence among Guimarasnon in 2018 was estimated at 9.3 percent, higher than its 2015 level recorded at 5.2 percent. On the other

hand, subsistence incidence among Guimaras population, or the proportion of Guimaras population whose incomes fall below the food threshold, was

estimated at 0.9 percent in 2018, higher than its 2015 level at 0.0 percent. Subsistence incidence among Guimaras population is often

referred to as the proportion of the population in extreme or subsistence poverty.

Food threshold is the minimum income required to meet the basic food needs and satisfy the nutritional requirements set by the Food and

Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) to ensure that one remains economically and socially productive. It is used to measure extreme or subsistence

poverty. Poverty threshold is a similar concept, expanded to include basic non-food needs such as clothing, housing, transportation, health, and

education expenses.

In 2018, a family of five needed at least PhP7,814.17, on average, every month to meet the family’s basic food needs and at least

PhP10,772.92, on average, every month to meet both basic food and non-food needs. These amounts represent the monthly food threshold and monthly

poverty threshold, respectively.

PSA also releases statistics on poverty among families in which it serves as a crucial social indicator that guides policy makers in their efforts to

alleviate poverty. Likewise, the income gap measures the average income required by the poor in order to get out of poverty, expressed relative to the

poverty threshold. The poverty gap refers to the income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty threshold) of families with income below the

poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families. The severity of poverty is the total of the squared income shortfall (expressed in proportion

to the poverty threshold) of families with income below the poverty threshold, divided by the total number of families. This is a poverty measure that is

sensitive to income distribution among the poor.

In 2018 on average an additional monthly income of PhP1,053.33, than the monthly income in 2015, is needed by a poor family with five

members in order to move out of poverty.

49


The annual per capita poverty threshold in Guimaras increased from PhP23,327 in 2015 to PhP25,855 in 2018. This means that an individual needs PhP2,528 more in 2018 than in 2015 to meet basic food and non-food needs.

Annual per capita poverty threshold showed an increasing trend in three periods 2012, 2015, and 2018.

Poverty incidence among families increased from 4.8 percent in 2015 to 6.6 percent in 2018.

Similarly, magnitude of poor families also increased from 1.6 thousand in 2015 to 2.9 thousand in 2018, translating to almost 1.3 thousand families considered as poor.

Persons with incomes above the poverty thresholds are considered non-poor, which means that individuals in Guimaras with incomes above PhP25,855 can provide his/her basic food and non-food needs.

Poverty incidence among population increased from 5.2 percent in 2015 to 9.3 percent in 2018; that is, more individuals in the province are considered poor in 2018 than in 2015.

Likewise, magnitude of poor population also increased from 8.2 thousand in 2015 to 16.8 thousand in 2018.

determining sound policies conducive to economic development and serve as bases for the monetary authorities and the banking credit institutions to readily

respond to monetary problems, needs and requirements of the economy. Financial institution data also give insights to the contribution of the sector to the

government’s task of nation building.

Guisi Lighthouse was built by the Spanish government in 1894-1896 as part of the master plan for the lighting of the Maritime Coasts of the Philippine Archipelago. The plan was aimed at lighting the Philippine seas and channels to guide ships in and through the most important sea channels to the ports of Manila, Iloilo, and Cebu.

Known as Faro de Punta Luzaran, the lighthouse served as a navigational aid to the fishermen and sailors cruising Panay Gulf. While the original light-house is no longer operational, a new one has been built by the Philippine Coast Guard.

This station is on Guimaras Island, marking the southern entrance to Iloilo. The lighthouse, a 17.5 m (58 ft) octagonal cylindrical tower, was completed in 1896.

It appears similar to the Cabo Bojeador and Cabo Engano lights. The entire light station is in ruins; the lantern is gone from the tower and the roof is gone from the 1-storey stone keeper’s house.

At some time after 1920, the light was replaced by what the current list describes only as 38 ft (11.5m) hourglass-shaped metal tower. (Description: Painted white, focal plane 34 m (111 ft), white flash every 15 seconds, no lantern.)

The lighthouse is listed in the 27 major Spanish Lighthouses of the Philippines (in the order listed by Faros Espanoles de Ultramar). It is located in Guisi, Dolores, Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. © Google Photos

The Trappist Monastery is located in Bgy. San Miguel, Jordan Town in Guimaras, the Monastery grounds is a peaceful and sacred enclave in Guimaras run by monks of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance. These monks fol-low the rule of St. Benedict and are best known for the extreme austerity or strictness that characterizes their discipline.

The monks earn a living by selling souvenir items and processed foods such as jellies, jams, candies, piaya and more, which are sold in a small shop within the monastery grounds.

All the products are from ingredients grown in the Trappist grounds.

Built in 1880, the Navalas Church is the oldest Roman Catholic church and the only existing heritage church in the Island of Guimaras. The architecture of this quaint church is reminiscent of the Jaro Cathedral in Iloilo, which is due to Guimaras being a vista of Jaro during the Spanish period.

The Navalas Church has a charming garden in its front yard and is enclosed by an old stone fence. Standing prominently in front is a watchtower, which served to make early warnings of impending attacks by pirates.

The Navalas Church is located in Brgy Navalas in Buenvista, Guimaras. From Parola, Iloilo City one can have a 15-minute pumpboat ride to McArthur’s Wharf, and from there one can arrange transportation through the Tourist As-sistance Center in the wharf. From McArthur’s Wharf it is another 40-minute ride to Navalas Church.

The Province of Guimaras is home to the first wind farm in the Visayas, the San Lorenzo Wind Farm which is seen to reduce the region’s greenhouse gas emissions and serve as a tourist attraction at the same time.

The 54 MW San Lorenzo Wind Farm generates 54 megawatts of power and provides such to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) which then distributes it to many power utilities in Western Visayas, Negros, and Cebu.

There are 27 wind turbines that stand approximately 123 meters tall, which pro-duces 2 megawatts of power each, thus resulting to a total generation capacity of 54 megawatts.

Taklong Island is a National Marine Reserve located in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras, off the southern end of the island of Guimaras.

Balaan Bukid (Holy Mountain) is a landmark in Guimaras known for being a

pilgrimage site of Catholic devotees especially during the Holy Week. Alongside the trail to the top are 14 stations called “Way of the Cross,” which depicts significant events in the life of Jesus Christ. Catholics visit Balaan Bukid to be reminded of the suffering Jesus had gone through to save mankind.

It is located in the municipality of Jordan in Guimaras Province, a popular destination for local and foreign pilgrims/visitors during Holy Week.

Besides Holy Mountain’s sacred function, it is also a beautiful nature’s wonder. A mountain provided with a nice dirt road path leading up to a hill with breathtaking view of Iloilo City. Perfect for a small one-day trip for everyone at any time of the year.

One of Guimaras’ famous landmarks is the summer house of the Lopez Clan known as Roca Encantada or “Enchanted Rock” built at the top of a hill.

The house was built in 1910 in honor of Dona Presentacion Hofilena Lopez, declared by the National Heritage Institute as a “heritage house.”

The grand balconies of Roca Encantada offers a picturesque view of the beach front and Iloilo Strait with “La Islas de Siete Picados” not far from its coast.

Roca Encantada is located in Buenavista town, Guimaras, a 15-minute ride to McArthur’s Wharf from Parola, Iloilo City.
