==History of Mabini, Pangasinan, Philippines==
The beginning of Mabini
:article below from the LGU of Mabini, Pangasinan
Presented by Vice-Mayor Alimar R. Briana<br>
During SOMA 2009<br>
 
According to old folks, the municipality of Mabini used to be a part of the Province of Zambales and was surrounded by mountains, forests, and valleys. It was originally called “BALINCAGUIN” that was derived from the Zambal phrase “BALI LAN CAGUIN” which means “ABODE OF BATS”. It is no wonder that this place got its name from the numerous caves wherein these flying mammals used as their natural habitat. These caves are found in the hills and mountain ranges that connect the Municipality to the Zambales mountains on its western side, and to the mountains of Tarlac in the south-western portion. Researchers claimed that the municipality was founded in 1610 by the Spanish missionaries who were Augustinian Recolletos Fathers, however, there were no official records that show if there were any other religious order who took over the parish until the emergence of Don Isidro Puzon who was believed to be the founder of the municipality.
 
Balincaguin, as per records, began to exist as a town in the year 1800 under the leadership of Don Isidro Puzon. In those days, the head of the town was called “CAPITAN”, which is equivalent to the position of the town mayor today. It had a population then of 770 families, majority of which were Ilocanos who migrated to the municipality to settle permanently due to its fertile soil. These settlers grouped themselves on a plain situated near the mountains and called the site “CONVENTA”. They produced superior quality of rice which was marketed to Manila and even to China. Other agricultural products were corn, sugar cane, cotton, etc. Aside from agriculture, there were home industries like saddle-making, knapsack-making, and hat-weaving. They also engaged in raising cattles, carabaos, horses, and goats. During those days, numerous bats inhabited the town and this drove the people to catch them. The catching of bats continued for many years until finally in 1930, these winged creatures had gone deeper to the forests.
 
After the Philippines’ declaration of Independence on June 12, 1898, a great surge of nationalism had swept the whole country. The townspeople noted the change and immediately demanded from the town officials a change of name of the town. Names of Filipino great men were submitted to the Municipal Council. The people in the place saw the spirit of idealism and patriotic character of Apolinario Mabini who was then the Chief Advisor of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. After a careful evaluation of the individual activities of the Filipino heroes, the local residents decided to change the name of the municipality from Balincaguin to Mabini so that in 1930, the town’s name became Mabini after “THE GREAT SUBLIME PARALYTIC” and “BRAINS OF THE REVOLUTION”. A monument of Apolinario Mabini now stands infront of the Municipal Building.
 
In 1904, the Municipality of Mabini was merged with the western municipalities like Anda, Alaminos, Bani, Bolinao, Burgos, Dasol and Infanta.These municipalities comprise the First District of the Province

MAJOR HISTORICAL AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
 
There were no records which tell about the municipality’s foundation year except on the existence of the Patronal Church that was built by the Spanish friars or Augustinian Recolletos Fathers in 1610.
 
Three great floods devastated Mabini. The first one was in 1832 when Conventa was flooded. It was a big flood as evidenced by the fact that the Catholic Church and convent and all other houses erected therein were under water. Aware of the danger of repetition of the incident, the settlers transferred the town site to upper grounds where it is now presently located.
 
Sometime in 1852, the Catholic Church was struck by lightning and was burned down. The church, although with concrete walls, used to be sheltered with cogon grass which was known to be a friend of fire once it is dried.
 
Nothing important or of great significance took place after the said incident until sometime in 1881, forty-nine years later after the first flood devastated the town, another one occurred. It had a more disastrous effect to livestock, human lives, and properties than the first one. It was popularly called as “The Flood of Don Nicolas” because the head of the town at that time was CAPITAN DON NICOLAS RIVERA. The 20-meter hill that is commonly called OLUMBUAYA HILL which means “Crocodile’s Head” was almost under water.
 
With the blessings of God Almighty, no calamity of grave nature took place in this municipality for many years. In 1925, the people of Balincaguin began to rejoice when an illustrious son of this small locality was elected Representative to the Second National Assembly, in the person of DON CIRILO BRAGANZA. Then in the latter part of 1930, the name Balincaguin was changed to Mabini by a Congressional Act through the recommendation of Municipal Council of this place headed by DON LOPE BRAGANZA, the incumbent Municipal President that year.
 
The third disastrous flood occurred in 1957. This flood was even published in the leading newspapers to be the most fatal catastrophe that happened in this place. This flood was commonly called “The Flood of Don Osting” because the mayor at that time was DON JUSTO DE GUZMAN, JR. The Olumbuaya Hill was totally submerged and the people were caught unaware of the impending disaster because it was past midnight when the flashflood occurred. More than seven hundred people living in the lower valley and other low-lying barangays perished and approximately eighty per cent of their homes and animals were swept away by the rampaging water and were carried away by the strong current towards the next town and into the China Sea. Because of this event, some of the affected families decided to move to another place to reside permanently.
 
Another flood occurred in 1992 but with less devastating effect due to the early preparation of the inhabitants. This time, the people were forewarned of the coming disaster. The local disaster committee had been organized to help in the evacuation of affected families. The only significant effect of this flood was the destruction of the 164 linear meter Braganza Bridge which at that time was newly rehabilitated and the damages to crops and livestock amounting to millions of pesos.
 
In December 1999, an earthquake of 6.5 intensity whose epicenter was a few kilometers from Mabini, shook the houses and other structures of Western Pangasinan and Northern Zambales bringing damages to the century-old Sto. Nino Church and making the town of Mabini in the limelight as the church is one of the oldest landmarks of the town. Luckily, the tremor came three days before the traditional Misa de Gallo or Dawn Mass or else, hundreds of churchgoers perished on that fateful early morning. With enthusiasm and vigor of civil and religious leaders, the Sto. Nino church was repaired and restored.
