  • Provincial MDG Report
    I. History The Negritoes were the aborigines of the islands comprising the province of Romblon. The Mangyans were the first settlers. Today, these groups of inhabitants are almost extinct with only a few scattered remnants of their descendants living in the mountain of Tablas and in the interior of Sibuyan Island. A great portion of the present population descended from the Nayons and the Onhans who immigrated to the islands from Panay and the Bicols and Tagalogs who came from Luzon as early as 1870. The Spanish historian Loarca was the first who genuinely explored its settlements when he visited the islands in 1582. At that time Tablas Island was named “Osingan” and together with the other islands of the group were under the administrative jurisdiction of Arevalo (Iloilo). From the beginning of Spanish sovereignty up to 1635, the islands were administered by secular clergy. When the Recollect Fathers arrived in Romblon, they found some of the inhabitants already converted to Christianity. In 1637, the Recollects established seven missionary centers at Romblon, Badajos (San Agustin), Cajidiocan, Banton, Looc, Odiongan and Magallanes (Magdiwang). In 1646, the Dutch attacked the town of Romblon and inflicted considerable damage. However, this was insignificant compared with the injuries that the town of Romblon and other towns in the province sustained in the hands of the Moros, as the Muslims of Mindanao were then called during the Moro depredation, when a good number of inhabitants were held captives. In order to protect its people from further devastation, the Recollect Fathers built a fort in the Island of Romblon in 1650 and another in Banton Island.

  • Agustín De San Pedro. El Padre Capitán
    Fray Agustín de San Pedro known in Philippine History as El Padre Capitán by Emmanuel Luis A. Romanillos Dubbed as El Padre Capitán for his heroic exploits of the Moro Wars, Fray Agustín de San Pedro was born in 1599. He epitomizes the 17th- century missionary who erected fortress-like temples, forts, palisades and watchtowers to shield his flock from marauding pirates, mostly Moros from Mindanao and Sulu. 1 He was often depicted as a soldier of God welding the cross in one hand and brandishing the sword in the other. He was born to Mario Rodríguez and María Moreyro of Braganza, Portugal. The young Agustín studied at the University of Salamanca. He after afterward entered the Augustinian Recollect convent at Valladolid, making his The bust of Fray Agustín de San Padre religious profession as Fray Agustín de "El Padre Capitán' at Fuerza de San San Pedro in 1619. Andrés in Romblon. At the Recollect Convent of Portillo in Valladolid, he devoted himself to the study of mathematics and military science to such an extent that his superior who had had noticed it commanded him to desist from it for he deemed it unsuited to the religious profession. The biographer commented that such study of military science proved later to be exceedingly useful in his future ministry in the Philippine missions at that wracked by piratical raids. In July 1622, Fray Agustín joined the sixth Recollect group of thirteen missionaries to the Philippines that included the future Martyr of Japan Blessed Martín de San Nicolás. Their galleon lifted anchor at Cádiz in 1 Other Augustinian Recollect missionaries known for their building of forts and bulwarks, organizing militias, military feats and punitive expeditions against the Moro lairs in southern Philippines from the 17th to the 19th century are Juan de San Severo, Valero de San Agustín, Pascual Ibánez and Ramón Zueco.

CONTENTSCONTENTS FOREWORDFOREWORD The official poverty monitoring system (PMS) in the Philippines relies mainly on family income and expenditure surveys. Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained from representative health surveys, national population and housing censuses, and others. However these surveys and censuses are (i) too costly to be replicated frequently; (ii) conducted at different time periods, making it impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different socio-demographic groups of interest at a specific point in time; and (iii) have sampling designs that do not usually correspond to the geographical disaggregation needed by local government units (LGUs). In addition, the implementation of the decentralization policy, which devolves to LGUs the function of delivering basic services, creates greater demand for data at the local level. The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) seeks to address these gaps by providing data at the local level appropriate for diagnosing the cause and extent of local poverty, formulating appropriate policies and programs, identifying eligible beneficiaries, and assessing the impact of policies and programs.

  • The Moreno Dynasty in Postwar Romblon, 1949–1969 89
    ESQUEJO THE MORENO DYNASTY IN POSTWAR ROMBLON, 1949–1969 89 Kasarinlan: Philippine Journal of Third World Studies 2018 33 (2): 89–124 Family and Politics in an Archipelagic Province: The Moreno Dynasty in Postwar Romblon, 1949–1969 KRISTOFFER R. ESQUEJO ABSTRACT. Through documentary sources and oral interviews, this article examines the vital role played by Romblon’s distinct features as an archipelagic province on its local politics, particularly the rise and fall of the Moreno dynasty. The elder brother was Florencio Moreno, a government civil engineer who served as Romblon’s congressman and was later appointed secretary of the Department of Public Works and Communications (DPWC) in the Magsaysay and Garcia administrations. The younger brother was Jose D. Moreno, a wartime military doctor who succeeded his elder brother as Romblon’s congressman for three terms. From 1949 to 1969, the Moreno dynasty monopolized the said position, effectively bringing progress and pride of place to their constituents and figuratively putting Romblon on the Philippine map. While the brothers represent the emergence of professional politicians in Philippine postwar politics, their respective political careers were still largely restricted by the combined factors of geography, demography, and kinship dynamics of their home province. As a result, a sibling rivalry erupted which ultimately ended not only their political heyday but also shattered their economic interests. KEYWORDS. Moreno dynasty · Romblon · kinship politics · public works · public health INTRODUCTION Romblon is an archipelagic province geographically located in the center of the Philippines. It has a considerable distance from the capital, Manila, and, being composed of 158 islands and islets, remains relatively isolated in all directions—it lies west of Mindoro, south of Marinduque, east of Masbate, and north of Panay (figure 1).

At least 67 villages in Central Luzon experienced heavy flooding although they are not directly on the track of “Melor”. These are the provinces of Aurora, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija, which were previously affected by Typhoon Koppu (local name: Lando) in October this year.3 As several provinces experience the devastating effects of the Typhoon Nona, a number of areas will still experience moderate to heavy rains brought by the Low Pressure Area (formerly T.D. ”Onyok”) and the tail-end of the cold front. These are CARAGA Region, Central and Eastern Visayas, and the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Davao Oriental, Aurora, and Quezon. LPA Onyok is estimated to be currently in the vicinity of Ampatuan, Maguindanao.4 • Key daTa on affecTed populaTions Regions IV-A, IV-B, V, VII, and VIII are the hardest hit with 165,554 families or 742,991 individuals pre- emptively evacuated.
