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.

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.

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.

San Lorenzo was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 7897 on February 20, 1995. It is known for its wind farms.
xxi The Countryside in Figures: Guimaras, 2019 Edition
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.

CHAPTER 3. 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.

Top 10 Tourist Spots and Points of in the Province:
Alubihod Beach is one of the biggest tourist draws in Guimaras because of its white sand beach and peculiar yellow rocks, clean blue sea with gentle waves and good elevation that is excellent for swimming.
Lets you enjoy a wonderful view of the horizon that’s sitting side by side with nearby islands that are filled with lush green plants that are cool to the eyes. It is located in Poblacion, Nueva Valencia , Guimaras.
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

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.
