==History of Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines==
==History of Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines==
The beginning of Bantayan
During the Spanish time, the people were just as peaceful as they are today. No political revolts were made, no banditries and piracies were ever recorded among the people, except those made by the moros.
 
The old Spanish road connecting Santa Fe, Bantayan, and Madridejos were constructed chiefly thru the services of labor and partly supported by the tribute funds. Those enforcing this were called "POLITAS".
 
The first Spanish public school constructed in Bantayan to educate the children of the natives was in 1864, although, the Spanish Educational Decree providing said school was issued in 1863. These schools, one for girls and the other for boys were under the direct supervision of the curate and conducted by a man and a woman.
 
The construction of the present Catholic Church which stood firmly against the vicissitudes of time started in 1893 and was completed in 1863.
 
Several fortuitous events took place in this period. In 1894 the entire barrio of Ticad was razed to the ground. Only the stumps of the posts could be seen above the ground. Small pox epidemic devastated this island in 1880-1890. No trustworthy figure appeared during the administration of Capitan Puragtong but a villous famine occurred. Not even a grain of corn could be had but surprisingly, the people subsisted upon "AMORSICO" which continuously grew on the nipa wall of the houses of the inhabitants.
 
During the time of Governor Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera ( 1635 - 1644), the Visayas were continually harassed by the Moros. Consequently, tall stone walls and watchtowers wer built in the different parts of the archipelago, for refuge and protection of the people from the moro aggression. The tall walls surround the convent and the church including half of the area where the Public Plaza now is. These watchtowers were loacally known as "BANTAYAN SA HARI " , meaning, " WATCHTOWERS OF THE KING" "KING OF SPAIN". The watchtowers served as look-outs for the incoming moro pirate vessels. In the course of their vigil after the moros, it became the common expression for them to say, BANTAYAN! BANTAYAN!, meaning, "KEEP WATCH! KEEP WATCH! , and that was how this island-group got its name. The presence of the relics of those watchtowers till today, attest to the well-fitting name BANTAYAN.
 
There are no dates to fix the time when the first people came to Bantayan, nor do we know of their places of origin. NO conscious records of their doings were left us to arrive at amuch certain conclusion. Some said, they can be traced back to Panay, others believed that the bulk of them were of cebuano origin, and still others say, they came from Leyte and Bohol.
 
However, there are indications that there existed some connections between Bantayan and the aforementioned places are the mixed dialects spoken by the people, the family names of the prominent old inhabitants, and their ancient culture such as cloth weaving, dances and architecture. AS to family names, the Rubios, the Arcenaces, and the Alvarezes, can be traced back to Panay, the Rodriquezes, the Ancajases, the Mansuetos and the Villacrusises to Cebu, the Villacins, The Villaflors, the Ortegas, and the Carabios to Leyte, the Hubahibs, the Garcias, the Caquilalas to Bohol. The majority of the old inhabitants, however, agree that they are a mixture of all these, a product of different blood and cultures.
