OVERVIEW OF THE 1 PROVINCE
HISTORY OF CATANDUANES AND ITS MUNICIPALITIES
The framing of the history of Catanduanes can be best gleamed to the story of Philippine Evangelization.
During the early part of 1573, Catanduanes was first called Isla de Cobos by Spanish conquistadores when came upon several tribes living in thatched huts called cobos. Yet there are several legends that expound where the province really originated its name.
Legend states that it came from the word ‘tandu’, a native click beetle and the ‘samdong’ tree which were both abundant throughout the island hence the appellation ‘Katanduan’ and ‘Kasamdongan’, a place where tandu and samdong thrives in abundance. This led to the coining of the word ‘Catanduanes’ which is the hizpanized term derived from both words.
The first settlers in the island during the early part of 13th century are said to have come from Borneo, Malaysia and China. They were mostly traders and seafarers engaged in barter and trade in search of new lands for settlement. These groups of traders plus a few settlers are the people who started the population activity during the later period of the century.

In 1573, a group of Spanish conquistadors led by Juan de Salcedo arrived in the island while in pursuit of pirates plying their trade and conquered the natives. They are the ones who gave the island its first adopted name.
Three years later a galleon from Acapulco “Espiritu Santo” was reported shipwrecked near the coast of the island province in April 1576. Among the survivors were Fray Diego de Herrera, a few Augustinian missionaries and some crew members. They were the first group to attempt a religious intrusion that led to an unfortunate event such as their brutal deaths. The Batalay Church in Bato marks this historical event.
Twenty years later, the actual evangelization began when the soldiers of Spain came back with Franciscan missionaries after subjugating the Bicol mainland.
From 1600 to 1857, the colonizers were able to put up nine centers of local governments through the establishments of parishes including Caramoran, Pandan, Viga, Panganiban, Virac, Bato and San Andres. During the early 1950s, Baras was created followed by Gigmoto and San Miguel.
The struggle for independence from the Spanish colonizers was ended by the interference of the Americans. From then a civil government has replaced military government to where Catanduanes was made a sub-province of Ambos. During the term of Don Felipe as first Lieutenant Governor of Camarines, Catanduanes was annexed to the province of Albay. The American occupation did not last long though and three (3) months after the Philippine independence from the Americans, Catanduanes was finally recognized as a separate and independent province.
Catanduanes gained its provincial autonomy when Congressman Francisco Perfecto filed House Bill No. 301. It was later on approved and enacted as Commonwealth Act No. 687 which makes the island of Catanduanes as one of the six provinces of the Bicol Region. Remigio Socito, the last Lieutenant Governor, was appointed as the first Provincial Governor. When the election was held in 1947 Alfonso V. Usero became the first elected Governor.

History of Bagamanoc Legend has been told that one day, a daring and adventurous young man from the tribe forced his way across the mouth of the river to look for rattan needed for the repair of his future bride’s family house. Going westward by the shoreline, he finally turned left for the business of venture but before he cut an uphill distance, he saw what appeared to be a chicken flying along Photo from http://www.ivoteph.com just above the tallest leaves of Pandan shrubs festooning the sea. Back in his tribe, he told the clan on what he saw of the beauty of the place, its abundance with food and building materials and the defense is offered from the pirate’s raid. But as the place has no name to say when referring to that “discovered land” every time anybody talk of the place, they would call it “BAGAMANOC” which means the place was like a “chicken” the very meaning of Bagamanoc.
The municipality of Bagamanoc is a 5th class municipalityof Catanduanes which is created from barrios of Quigaray, Hinipagan, Sukhan in the island of Panay; Lati, in the island of Lati; Bacac, Hinipaan, Bugao, Minaili and Bagamanoc of the municipality of Panganiban by virtue of Republic Act No. 491 which was approved on June 12, 1950 that is now politically subdivided into 18 barangays.

History of Baras The municipality of Baras is a fifth class municipality of Catanduanes founded on May 11, 1897 which comprises twenty-nine (29) barangays of which six (6) are urban barangays and twenty-three (23) are rural barangays.
Baras derived its name from “BADAS” plant that was once abundant in its location and used as a source of materials Photo from http://gocatanduanes.com for making spears, a weapon used by the native to repel the raiders and pirates during the early Spanish Colonization. Some elders recall that Baras, centuries back was once a progressive fishing village located over a small mountain projecting towards the sea on the western side of Baras Bay. The poblacion was its cemetery and the cemetery now was its former poblacion site. The old site was chosen because it was an elevated area overlooking the sea. The villagers could easily see approaching pirates that occasionally plundered the sea, giving them ample time to evacuate their families and prepare for the encounter. Several skirmishes had been caught in the present

History of Bato
Bato is a fifth class municipality in the province of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 27 barangays. It got its name from Spanish colonizers who surveyed the early settlers of the area but as to why it is called Bato have few story versions.
Some says that it came from the name of the “Water
Photo from http://gocatanduanes.com Wells”, or it came from the Tagalog word bato, meaning “rock”. Another legend states that a Spaniard asked a settler woman the name of the settlement, and she replied “Bato”. There is no certainty whether the woman understood the question or not, whether she referred to her own name or the name of the settlement itself, or to their early occupations of the area. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bato,_Catanduanes
History of Caramoran Caramoran is a third class municipality in the province of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 27 barangays. It was founded in 1676 side by side with the Catholic Church over a hundred years after Spanish Sovereignty was established in 1570.
Photo from http://www.ugnayan.com There are at least two popular versions as to where Caramoran got its name. One story was told by the Old people of the town of Caramoan in Camarines Sur which theorized that since their town is only separated almost 2 kilometers by Maqueda Channel from Caramoran in Catanduanes, the place also abound in “cara”, the turtle’s precious shell made into combs, bowls and decorative articles. Hence, a place where turtle “cara” shells are found in abundance, as in Caramoan. Another version is that this place is where “namo”, wild plants that grow on vines with edible roots, are plentiful; Caramoran has this plant growing in abundance. These two towns are both far from their provincial capital and as such the inhabitants are closely knit in many aspects. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caramoran,_Catanduanes#History

History of Gigmoto Gigmoto is a fifth class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 9 barangays.
The name Gigmoto originated from the Bicol word himbot that means “just in time”. This is supposedly related to an event that happened because of a romantic venture of a young man from Baras seeking to court a maiden from the Photo from https://i.pinimg.com town of Viga. Competing with several other suitors, the Baraseño traveled northbound to win the love of the maiden. He was overtaken by the night, so he slept in that place. In the morning he proceeded to Viga arriving there almost at night. After staying for quite a period of time in Viga, the man from Baras won the hearth of the Viganon. When the lovers were bound for Baras, they stayed overnight at Gigmoto – “just on time” for their first romantic night of being together. As years went by Himbotan was changed to Higmoto. Years thereafter, believing that with the “H” Higmoto seemed to be a Japanese word, the “H” was changed to “G” – thus the name Gigmoto.
The town was created from the barrios of Sicmil and Sioron from Viga and the barrios of San
Vicente, Gigmoto, Biong and Dororian from Baras. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigmoto,_Catanduanes
History of Pandan Pandan is a fourth class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 26 barangays. Pandan originated its name from a plant called ‘pandan shrubs’ that is in great abundance in the place and also used as a formidable defence against invaders by the locals.
Photo from http://www.ugnayan.com The present poblacion of Pandan was established as a regular pueblo (town) in the year 1677, a year after the American colonist declared their independence to Great Britain. A Spanish captain named Don Basilio Rabago y del Barrio led the establishment of the town. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandan,_Catanduanes#History

History of Panganiban (Payo)
Panganiban is a fifth class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 23 barangays. Panganiban is a one-horse town nestled on the north eastern side of the island-province of Catanduanes.
Photo from http://catanduanes.gov.ph The first settlers in the town were navigators and traders on commercial expeditions, descendants of the first wave of settlers from Borneo, Malay and China. In the early 13th century, another wave of seafarers, coming from southern Luzon mainland, got lost in storm, ventured inward into the mouth of Payo river and there found an Eden—and so they stayed and called this home. They set up their own governing body by electing one from among themselves as chief whom they formally called “Payo”. In the vernacular, Payo means head or chief. As it was the seat of authority and residence of the chief it was likewise called Payo. The village headman or Payo as he was called by the villagers was among the survivors. None of these survivors ever returned. They settled and formed a community of their own called barangay “Payo”. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panganiban,_Catanduanes
History of San Andres San Andres is a third class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 38 barangays. San Andres’ original name was Calolbon that is originated from Calolbong, which was vaguely referred to a Bicol expression – “nacalobong”, as the houses of the original community along the bank of Carangag River looked Photo from http://gocatanduanes.com almost submerged when viewed from the sea. The early Spanish explorers misunderstood the native guide who said that the submerged houses meant the name of the town. Unfamiliar with the dialect, they placed “Calolbong” on the map. Usage in the course of time dropped the “g”.
Sometime in 1964, a bill was presented to the Philippine Congress to rename the town San Andres in honor of its patron, Saint Andrew the Apostle. This bill was approved as Republic Act No.
3948 on June 18 that same year- since then, the town was called San Andres. Source: https://catanduanes.gov.ph/municipality/municipality-san-andres Page | 6

History of San Miguel San Miguel is a fifth class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 24 barangays that became a separate municipality through the President Elpidio Quirino's Executive Order No. 803 dated August 23, 1952.
San Miguel, which is once, a part of the Municipality of Bato, first inhabited by the early Photo from http://www.pinoymountaineer.com mountaineers and the part of the Malayan race that were pushed to the open valley with the coming of the Spanish Colonizers. There are several legends about how the town got its name. According to a pioneer, San Miguel was once a sitio known as “Aguas” named after fish species bigger than the “Balanak”. In the 1930’s during the celebration of the feast in honor of Santa Cruz the former Patron Saint; Aguas was changed to San Miguel in grateful recognition and commendation to the invaluable services of Don Miguel Triumfante and Juez de Cnado of Bato who were present then during the celebration.
Another story that once upon a time the chapel caretaker in the person of Marcelo Tapanan, in one early morning heard a long and loud ringing of bells. He hurried to the chapel and was surprised to see the image of Saint Michael the Archangel in the altar. The story passed on every ear of the residents and finally made a common move of changing the name of the place from Aguas to San Miguel.

History of Viga Viga is a fourth class municipality of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 31 barangays. The term ‘Viga is shortened from “Marviga’ which is a herbaceous giant gabi-like plants that grew abundantly in the place. This name was subsequently adopted as the official name of the
Photo from https://mapsights.com municipality at the present.
During the Spanish colonization, the inhabitants were converted to the Catholic faith. As time went on they felt however, the strain of Spanish civil rule cruelties, when the Philippine Revolution broke out, many able-bodied natives joined the nationalistic movement and fought the colonizer.

When the Americans came, Viga was virtually liberated from the Spanish rule, and then a civil government was established. When the Second World War broke out, Viga become the center of guerilla movement in the province. A pitched and running battle between the guerillas and escaping Japanese forces were simultaneously fought at Bangguerohan and Cabatangan where the latter was defeated.

History of Virac Virac is a first class municipality in the province of Catanduanes that is politically subdivided into 63 barangays. It is the capital municipality of the province and the most populous and fifth largest in land area.
It has been said that Virac was derived from the Photo from http://gocatanduanes.com word “Vidak” while others claim it is a contraction of the Spanish version of the word burac, meaning flower. A priest is on a quest for more information about the natives. Pointing to a tree, he asked what it was called and the natives replied, “Burac.” Thereupon, the priest made his first notation on his book of information “burac”.
Virac became officially recognized as a unit of governance only in 1755 as it was only during that year when records were started to be faithfully kept but the actual founding of the town as a distinct th political unit happened in the middle of 16 century.

The provincial topography is mostly rugged and mountainous becoming more pronounced towards the central portion of the island. The highest mountain peak is in Boctot, located between the municipalities of Virac and San Miguel, Catanduanes with anelevation of 803 meters (2,600ft) above sea level. It is the premier mountain range with broadly spread old-growth forests and watershed which exerts widespread influence over its immediate environs that include the municipalities of Virac, Bato and San Miguel. Other prominent mountain forms with important significance include the ranges: Obi in Caramoran, Cagmasoso in San Andres, and the Summit and Magsumoso ranges within Viga and Gigmoto areas.
The lowlands include the Virac Plain, San Andres Plain and the Bato River Flood Plain. The coastal municipalities with limited lowland agricultural areas are Pandan and Caramoran. The more extensive lowlands are found in the southern parts of the province. The largest coastal plain is the contiguous wetlands of Viga, Panganiban and Bagamanoc.
CLIMATE
Having no distinct wet and dry season, Catanduanes falls under the type II of the ‘Coronos Classification’ for climactic zones, with a very pronounced rainfall usually in the last quarter into the early months of the year (December to January) when tropical disturbances and monsoon winds are frequent and active.

AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES 7
Agricultural Production
Given its unique geographical location, Catanduanes is rich in natural resources which in fact, became the center or focus for main development and growth of the province. The place is undoubtedly suitable and sufficient for agricultural and fisher-based operations.
A. Non-Food and Industrial Crops Industrial crop is a crop grown to produce goods mainly for manufacturing rather than food for consumption.
ABACA The Philippine FIDA (Fiber Industry Development Authority) declared the province as the highest abaca producing province in 2010 hence the appellation “abaca capital of the Philippines”.

Abaca also known as Manila hemp is a close relative of banana plant. It is popular for its great mechanical strength, resistance to saltwater damage, and long fiber length – up to 3 m. In the province of Catanduanes since abaca plant is abundantly grown, you can find here the best grades which are said to be fine, lustrous, light beige in color and very strong. Abaca is essentially used to make ropes, twines, fishing lines and nets, as well as clothing and other fabrics such as linens and wall coverings. Moreover, because of its high cellulose content and staple length, abaca fiber is used in the production of many kinds of paper such as stencil papers, cigarette filter papers, tea-bags and sausage skins, and also in currency paper and many more. Aside from the production of speciality papers, another benefit of the abaca plant is producing handicrafts and selling them worldwide which is one of the thriving industries in the province today.
The municipalities of San Miguel, Baras, Bato, Caramoran and Viga are the top abaca producing municipalities in Catanduanes.

TOURISM
10
The province of Catanduanes, they say, is a pure paradise, a perfect eco-adventure place not just for all nature lovers but also to those who wishes to escape from the frantic pace of urban life. It is blessed with natural attractions such as unspoiled beaches, mysterious caves, unexplored mountain ranges and untouched waterfalls, rivers and lakes. Moreover, the province also offers man-made tourist attractions that will surely captivate the heart of any traveller.
Here are some of the wonders of nature found in the province.
Binurong Point
Located in Brgy. Guinsaanan Baras, Catanduanes, this newest attraction in the province is a Batanes hills/cliffs look and feel. The best time to go to Binurong Point is at dawn or sundown so you can witness how the sun shines so brightly reflecting its beauty and radiant colour to the sea and onto the grass around the area.

Tampad Beach
Located in Brgy. Talisoy, Virac, Tampad Beach is also known as “Talisoy Beach”, “Talisoy Cove” or “Jesus’ Face Beach”. This place is not suitable for big parties and reunions since the area is just approximately 150-300 meters only but nevertheless a perfect place for small to medium gatherings and parties as the beach offers fine coral sand and crystal clear water. It is also popularly known for the home of “Jesus’ face rock formation.
