==History of Catanduanes, Philippines==
The province, formerly known as “Catanduan,” “Catandognan,” and finally, “Catanduanes,” derived its name from the “tando” trees which then abound in the Island. In 1573, Juan de Saceldo explored Catanduanes. Later, on January 6, 1576, Fr. Diego de Herrera with nine Augustinians sailed from Acapulco to the Philippines aboard the galleon, “Espiritu Santo.”
Although it was reported that the galleon was shipwrecked near the coast of Catanduanes in April 1576, the others claimed that the disaster was caused by bad weather and all the crewmembers perished. Some said that the survivors were either killed by natives or made servants of a certain “Datu” of the island Catanduanes was once a part of Ibalon, now Albay. The ecclesiastical mission in the province was controlled by Nueva Caceres. However, in 1582, it was allotted to four “encomendoeros.

'''Gov't gives priority to Catanduanes'''
*Source: http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/334888/govt-gives-priority-catanduanes
*By: BEN R. ROSARIO
*''September 19, 2011''
 
Government has strongly moved to swiftly upgrade the country’s poor provinces by prioritizing them in the budgeting process.
 
Typhoon-beleaguered Catanduanes is among the provinces that will receive huge funding for its national roads.
 
Rep. Cesar Sarmiento disclosed that the P682.7-million concrete paving of the Catanduanes Circumferential Improvement Road, project is under way.
 
Sarmiento and Gov. Joseph Cua recently led the groundbreaking ceremonies in Baras town to signal start of the project that will pave a total 29 kilometers of national road covering the towns of Bato, Baras, Gigmoto, Panganiban, Viga, Caramoran, and San Andres.
 
The P682.7-million outlay is part of three-year plan to upgrade by 2014 all the 315 national roads in the province.
 
Sarmiento said Catanduanes expects another P500 million in national funds next year for similar concreting projects as it anticipates releases from P1.4 billion committed by the Japan International Cooperation “Agency for the provincial highway.
 
The solon said the bidding process for the Catanduanes Circumferential Road Project under the JICA Road Upgrading and Preservation Project has started.
 
Acquisition of road right-of-way on lands to be traversed by the highway has also begun.
 
Willy Galang of the DPWH Environmental and Social Safeguards Office said the distribution of road rights documents to landowners along the Viga Pandan national road is ongoing.


Payment of government obligations will start in the first quarter of 2010.
