==History of Minalin, Pampanga, Philippines==
==History of Minalin, Pampanga, Philippines==
The beginning of Minalin
:MINALIN:  The Town that Moved and Stayed
:by Lord Francis D. Musni
:Consultant, CKS, Holy Angel University
The town of Minalin found on the right bank of the creek which drains from Sto. Tomas and the northeast mountains, derives its name from the word minalis which means “to move to.”  Though one legend claims that its name was derived from a combination of the words Mina, which means mine, supposedly inscribed on a rock left at the place in 1700 by a Spaniard named José Espeleta, and  Lin, the name of the founder  of the town.
 
While another undocumented legend playing on Mina Linda de las Mujeres, meaning a mine of beautiful women. A gobernadorcillo by the name of Diego Tolentino wrote Minalin instead of Minalis in one of the expedientes and that is how it has been spelled since.  In the Calendario Manual y Guia de Forasteros, for the years 1839 to 1841, Minalin was misspelled as Minalim.
 
Minalin is situated North of Sto.Tomas and is bound on the East by San Luis, San Simon and Apalit; by Macabebe on the South; and by Betis and Bacolor on the West.
 
Geographical accounts  dating to as early as  1860 mentions that Minalin was producing rice, corn, sugar cane, cacao, indigo (añil) and fruits. When the rivers dried up, residents dug up wells to generate water for their animals as well as for irrigation. They also engaged themselves in fishing in water canals and swamps, while others go into trade, usually dealing in major commodities such as sugar including its production, and the production of dye, nipa wine and vinegar. They also weave some local fabrics for domestic use and mats (petates.
 
Most accounts trace the foundation of this town as early as 1614 when it was designated as a visita of Macabebe.  In the Chapter held on May 17, 1614, the capitulars agreed to segregate this town from its former matrix, Macabebe and recommended that the  Provincial appoint a minister to reside there. Its notice of separation from Macabebe was repeated in the next Chapter on April  29,  1617.  It took about a year later though before  a minister in the person  of Fr. Miguel de Saldaña was  assigned.
 
On October 31, 1624, the parish was accepted as a vicariate independent of Macabebe with  Fr. Martin Vargas being appointed as its prior. In the Intermediate Chapter of 1633, Minalin  was given  the two visitas of Pangasinan and Tubungao, (Tabungao?) which act was reconfirmed in the 1639 Chapter. Its oldest barrio Tabungao, which most historians place to be the present barrio of Sta. Maria, was mentioned several times in the will of  1826 Will of Don Fernando Pañganiban, direct descendant of the  great Don Fernando Balagtas. The Pañganiban will  who traces his  royal ancestry to  the Lakandula household, many of whom are  from Minalin, among them his mother Dña. Charolina Orian. It also made mention of one of his  forebears, one Francisco  Nuñga  married to a certain Dña. Chatalina  Mirmo, both come  from Barrio Tabuñgao. The will further traces the roots of the testator to as early as  Don Fernando Balagtas, also from Tabuñgao.
 
The convent of Minalin  is fortunate to have been under the care  of several zealous missionaries of  the Augustinian Order. One extant letter written by Fr. Isidro Rodriguez from Minalin on May 5, 1670, mentions the concern for the growing expenses of sending missionaries to the Islands. 
 
For unknown reasons, Minalin was aggregated to Bacolor following the Chapter of  May 9, 1650. It was also aggregated to Betis in the Chapter of  October 21, 1678, and again in May 11, 1680.
 
Records show that Minalin had 2600 souls by 1732. It had 4,544 souls  in 1760. Following the expulsion of the Augustinians from Pampanga in 1771 as a result of the  secularization controversy, native regulars  were assigned  to  parishes. Don Lorenzo Malaca was the first native secular assigned to Minalin in 1771, followed by the more popular, Don Manuel Francisco Tubil. From 1771 up to about 1838, no Augustinians were assigned to Minalin. The last Augustinian  friar assigned before  the  expulsion, Fr. Jose Sales, describes in his declaracÍon debajo juramento (statement under oath) the  condition of the church at the time he  turned it over to the Alcalde Mayor Pedro Diaz  and to the “native Tagalo priest who did not speak  the language  of the province and the town.”  Fr. Sales  wrote  that he  turned over the church  with its five altars, with their images, nine benches, two bronze bells  in the tower, one large and the other one small, and three confessionals.” Also included  were silver jewelry and ornaments of the church , 8 baptismal registers, 3 libros de padrones, 4 old account books , one registry for the dead, one book of receipts and  expenses  of the Cofradia de la ConsolacÍon, and  one book for  list of its members.”
 
A census  of residents in the province of Pampanga  in 1776 shows that  of the  total  64,053 inhabitants, 477 were either  Europeans or Spanish mestizos; of these number 132 resided in Bacolor, 51 in Guagua, and  27 in Minalin, among others.
 
There are no records which indicate the actual construction date of the church of  Minalin. The  only  extant  account  of  its construction so far is the  report prepared by Mayor Cristino Lagman  dated July 30, 1911 mentioning that the church  was completed in 1764 during the tenure of Bachiller Calixto Gregorio. Although a noted Kapampangan historian mentioned that the church was completed before 1834.  Another document dated December 20, 1854 from the office of the Alcaldia  Mayor of Pampanga reveals that  a petition from the  parish priest of Minalin, Fr. José Torres asking for  permission  to rebuild the church  and parochial  house, was granted. A newspaper account appearing in the July 5, 1866 issue of the Gaceta de Manila mentions  that “the church was still under construction. “
 
The report on the pastoral visit of Fr. José Seguí, Archbishop of Manila  to Pampanga  in 1831 tends to shed some light on  the details of  the construction of the church. On May 10, 1831, Archbishop Segui proceeded to Minalin after making a similar pastoral visit to the nearby town of  Baliuag (now Sto. Tomas.) Archbishop Segui was met at the church door by the secular parish priest of Minalin, Don  Quintin Cándido Paríon, together  with other local personages. It was reported that when  Fr. Paríon arrived in Minalin, “the church was in  ruins that they had to celebrate  the sacrifice of the mass in a  granary (camarin). “ The Inventario de  1827 says that the church “had five altars: the  major altar, its two collaterals and two (others) found under the choir loft, with their  corresponding images.” Curiously though, the 1831 report mentions only  of “three altars and a convent with a roof made of nipa. The same report concludes by indicating that the liquidated funds (of the parish) amount to  938 tributes, with a population  of  4,893 souls.
During Dr. Mauricio Miranda’s tenure as parish priest (1834), a great flood occurred in this town “that everything that was planted was inundated and many domestic animals were drowned.” The town experienced another flood “which brought  waters higher than the level of the houses” during Fr. Ignacio Manzanares’ tenure.
 
Later accounts tell that Fr. Isidro Bernardo restored and embellished the church  in 1877. While Fr. Galo de la Calle (1890)  and Fr. Vicente Ruiz  (1895) are known to have repaired minor damages during their respective tenure. Fray Ruiz  is  the last Augustinian friar assigned  before the  Revolution. Minalin church may have suffered only minor and insignificant damages during  the  Philippine Revolution for it is one of those few parishes  that did not file  any war claim.
 
In 1937 the Most Rev. Michael O’Doherty, Archbishop of Manila, approved the request of  Rev. Fr. Prudencio David, parish priest of Minalin for  permission  and disbursement of funds for the re-plastering of  the walls, and repainting of the church  interiors.  Fr. David was replaced by  Fr. Daniel Castrillo, a Spanish Augustinian who was formerly assigned to Porac, in  August 1942. 
 
Bernardo Poblete (alias “Banal,”a.k.a. “Tandang Banal), one of the leaders that helped found the HUKBALAHAP (HUK) movement during the  Japanese Occupation, was from Minalin. Poblete, a former active member of the Aguman ding Maldang Talapagobra (AMT,) a pre-war peasant socialist movement  in Pampanga, was later elected as one of the four generals  of the  military committee which later became the “general headquarters. “ Minalin became for a while, one of the  hot beds of HUK activity in Pampanga. Socialist Party founder Pedro B. Abad Santos stayed  in Minalin  during  latter war years. He died of an acute  ulcer  with intestinal complications  in a HUK settlement  in Minalin on January 15, 1945.
 
On May 11 1948, Rev. Fr. Genaro M. Sazon laid down plans for a Catholic high school which will be housed in the parish convent.  Minalin Academy opened its doors in 1948 with  40 students and  4 teachers.
 
The inscription of the Minalin Church by the National Museum  in the Registry  of National Cultural Treasures  affirms its  outstanding historical and cultural value which is highly significant and important to the country and nation. The  inscription  will provide the necessary  government  for its protection, conservation, and restoration. With the synergy  of  the  parish church, the local government, and  civic and non-governmental organizations, the inscription of  Minalin  Church  as a  national cultural  treasure gives it the much needed impetus to boost local tourism.  One of its outstanding features being its extant four capillas  posas, a rarity, being the only one in the country, as confirmed  in one of the most recent  books on Philippine churches.
