==History of Cabatuan, Iloilo, Philippines==
==History of Cabatuan, Iloilo, Philippines==
The beginning of Cabatuan
:Written by Mun. Planning & Devt. Office Thursday, 20 August 2009 00:16
::Copied verbatim from: www.cabatuan.gov.ph/home-mainmenu-1/history-mainmenu-31
 
CABATUAN lies at the heart of the island of Panay.  It is some 24 kilometers from Iloilo City to which it is connected with a national highway that passes through the towns of Pavia and Sta. Barbara.  Four other national raods connect Cabatuan with its neighboring towns; to Alimodian in the south, to Maasin in the west, to New Lucena in the north-east, and to Janiuay in the north where the highway continues northward to Lambunao and Calinog and then to Tapaz, Capiz.
 
Available historical records say that Cabatuan was founded in 1732.  The town’s founding in 1732 is further corroborated by a huge cross-made of hard thick “murawon” (molave) the base of which-still stands on Pamul-ogan Hill.  On the cross was carved “1732”.  Although what remains of the Cross now is only its base, old residents of the town recall that the Cross was more than four meters high, lording it over Tigum River and the plains towards the town.  It is presumed that the early founding Spaniards, following their procedure of establishing a new town by first dedicating the place to Christ, had made the Cross and carved the date on it.
 
Cabatuan was believed originally planned by Tono, its conceded tribal leader, together with two other leaders Gomoc and Amihan.  The site of the early settlement was on a level tract of land  near the northern bank of the Tigum River where the poblacion is now located.
 
In 1733, Cabatuan was officially organized upon the installation of Rev. Fr. Antonio Lopez as its first priest and Tono as its first “gobernadorcillo”.
 
The town hall and the Roman Catholic Church were simultaneously built.  The town was placed by the priest under the spiritual protection of Saint Nicolas de Tolentino whom Cabatuananons venerate as their Patron Saint whose feast is celebrated on September 10 every year.
HOW CABATUAN GOT ITS NAME
 
The name CABATUAN is suggestive of the character of its people and the nature of the locality.  It may be derived from the Hiligaynon word “kabatuhan,” meaning full of stones or “bato”; from “batuan”, meaning to resist, defy, oppose, fight, or challenge.  Some old folks believed that the name was derived from “batuan”, a tree whose sour fruits are used in seasoning vegetables.
 
An interesting version of how Cabatuan was named has been generally accepted.  There was a creek running right through the heart of the poblacion.  It was considered unique because its water flowed from the east to the west, “nagabatu”, in direct contrast to the usual course of creeks and rivers in town.  Along the bed of the creek were plenty of stones and along the banks and their vicinity were big “batuan” trees growing among clusters of stones.  When the Spaniards came to settle in town, the natives headed by Tono and other leaders suggested that the town be named CABATUAN.

List of the 17 Regions in the Philippines
National - Capital Region I - Ilocos II - Cagayan III - C. Luzon IV-A - Calabarzon IV-B - Mimaropa V - Bicol VI - W. Visayas VII - C. Visayas VIII - E. Visayas IX - Zamboanga X - N. Mindanao XI - Davao XII - Soccsksargen XIII - Caraga XIV - CAR XV - BARMM

The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

For that matter, you can't be a teacher in a school system unless you know English. The "Licensure Exam for Teachers" is in ENGLISH! Who are these people forcing Tagalog down our throats? Tagalog is simply one of the many dialects of the Philippines. Keep your dialects but learn and be fluent and proficient in ENGLISH.

Natural Resources of Cabatuan, Iloilo, Philippines

Protect the environment

It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.

Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!


Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.

The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.

To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.

Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More


We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.

This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.
