North of the poblacion and contiguous to barrio Dalakip in Angadanan Nuevo is barrio San Fernando, which was formerly part of Barrio Dalakip. Soon after the war, the place became the haven of cattle rustlers, and, in effect, people would always flock to this place in search for their lost animals. Hence, when the barrio was formed it was called “San Fernando”, the name of the saint who is the patron of lost things. Present generations rejected this bad impression as it will demean the honor and prestige of Barangay San Fernando. | |||
The founders of Barangay San Fernando were Eufemiano Bueno and Lope Corpuz. In 1950, this barangay was still part of Dalakip, Angadanan Nuevo. At that time, the barrio lieutenant was Dionisio Santiago, when all the barrio lieutenants of Angadanan were detained in Del Pilar by the Philippine Army for a period of one week after the burning of the municipal hall of Angadanan Nuevo by Huks. | |||
Immediately after Santiago’s released, he sought the assistance of then Alicia Mayor Glicerio Acosta to assimilate his sitio San Fernando to Alicia and was forthwith accepted and approved by the mayor. | |||
Teniente del Barrio Dionisio Santiago immediately went to Mr. Santos Munsayac to barrowed three hundred pesos intended for the celebration. Mr. Munsayac gave the amount on one condition that the newly formed barrio be named “San Fernando” and “wala ng utang”. Teniente del Barrio Santiago rejected the offer but thru the intercession of Mayor Acosta’s group and the Municipal Council, he was persuaded and convinced, “hindi raw bale mayroon naming SAN, representing Santiago, so it was named as such and solemnized by Father Almiron on April, 1950. | |||
The leaders of the newly created barangay had thought of creating a resolution to open a road leading to Alicia to give a better access for the people residing at the barrio. After the resolution was duly approved, they sought the approval of the land owners to donate part of their lands which be traversed by the road system. And when the road “right of way” was duly approved, the barangay folks have a good road connecting to the town proper and nearby Dalakip. | |||
As years went by, children of school ages were aplenty which prompted Mr. Felipe Sevilla to donate one hectare of land for the establishment of San Fernando Primary School. He donated one half hectare of his land and requested that half of which should be paid out of the barangay fund. The Deed of Donation and the Deed of Sale were prepared and the San Fernando Primary School was established where the children of the barangay and nearby Dalakip attended their primary grade. When National Irrigation Administration (NIA) was established and the rice fields were irrigated, the life of the people of the barangay had changed to a better one as brought about by a good harvest. Youths are now pursuing their secondary and college education. | |||
When the Aquino administration came to power in 1986, all barangay officials were changed. Election of new Barangay Captains was set up and wined by Mr. Federico Ayap followed by Mr. Andres Gonzales. During the leadership of Barangay Captain Andres Gonzales, the barangay was starting to improve for the better. The barangay now owns a permanent barangay hall and health center, constructed a community center and waiting sheds in every puroks from the support of municipal government under the leadership of Mayor Ramon Reyes. When the next election came, Mr. Tranquilino Julian became the next Barangay Captain now called Punong Barangay. Under the administration of Punong Barangay Tranquilino Julian, the Barangay was transformed into a model barangay and as a proof of his excellent performance; he won in the three consecutive barangay elections, (2001-2004; 2004-2007 and 2007-2010). In his administration they were able to build a two-storey barangay hall, expenses coming from the municipal assistance funds and barangay funds, a multi-purpose community center with basket ball court inside was also built. The new edifice was constructed on 1,200 square meter lot donated by Mr.Teodoro Julian and Florentina de Guzman along the provincial road leading to Dalakip, Angadanan. The old barangay hall was converted to Tanod Office, Health Center and Day care Center. | |||
The first Teniente del Barrio of Barangay San Fernando was Dionisio Santiago, succeeded by the following: Ciriaco Alvarado; Apolinario Julian; Romulo Ramirez; Rafael Julian Sr.; Romulo Ramirez (Martial Law years); Federico Ayap; Andres Gonzales; and Tranquilino Julian and now, Punong Barangay Romeo S.
