HISTORY OF SAN MIGUEL, CATANDUANES
San Miguel, which is once, a part of the Municipality of Bato, first inhabited by the early mountaineers and the part of the Malayan race that were pushed to the open valley with the coming of the Spanish Colonizers. There are myths and fables about how the town got its name. According to a pioneer, San Miguel was once a sitio known as “Aguas” named after fish species bigger than the “Balanak”. In the 1930’s during the celebration of the feast in honor of Santa Cruz the former Patron Saint; Aguas was changed to San Miguel in grateful recognition and commendation to the invaluable services of Don Miguel Triumfante and Juez de Cnado of Bato who were present then during the celebration.
There was also an event handed down to the present generation that once upon a time the chapel caretaker in the person of Marcelo Tapanan, in one early morning heard a long and loud ringing of bells. He hurried to the chapel and was surprised to see the image of Saint Michael the Archangel in the altar. The story passed on every ear of the residents and finally made a common move of changing the name of the place from Aguas to San Miguel. Formerly, a barrio of San Miguel, Bato become a full pledge municipality through then President Elpidio Quirino’s Executive Order No. 803 dated August 23, 1952 comprising previously twelve (12) barangays.
Since its emancipation in 1952, San Miguel Municipality is now forty-four years old. The reign of government was handed down through political choice; the first town mayor was Torribio Taopa who was chosen through a plebiscite in 1952 until the first local elections in 1953 where he won.
Living memory testifies that San Miguel was once upon a time a forlorn and poor orphan of its mother town of Bato. Its life was filled with lonely chapters, too, with its pain and headache, longing and privations. Now, it presents a brighter picture. Past and present administrators with the aid of support of the National, Regional and Provincial Government had transformed the town from the limbo of backwardness into the light and aura of dynamic activities and achievements.

HISTORY/LEGEND OF MUNICIPALITY OF SAN ANDRES, CATANDUANES
Alam niyo ba na ang "SAN ANDRES" ay tinatawag noon na "CALOLBON"?
Ang San Andres ay isang baybaying bayan sa isla ng lalawigan ng Catanduanes sa silangang Pilipinas. Ito ay isang bayan na mayaman sa kasaysayan at kultura at mayaman sa tradisyong Katoliko. Ang bayan ay kilala sa kasaysayan bilang Calolbong, isang pangalan na hango sa pananalitang Bicol, "naca-lobong", na nangangahulugang lubog. Ipinakita ng mga katutubong gabay sa mga naunang Espanyol na explorer ang mga bahay ng orihinal na komunidad sa tabi ng pampang ng isang ilog. Ang mga bahay na ito, kung titingnan mula sa dagat, ay tila bahagyang nasa ilalim ng tubig. Ang mga Kastila, na hindi pamilyar sa diyalektong Bicol, ay malamang na naisip ng mga katutubo na ang tinutukoy ay ang pangalan ng bayan, dahil tinawag nila itong "Calolbong" sa kanilang mga mapa ng lugar. Sa paglipas ng panahon, ang letrang "G" ay nawala, at ang bayan ay nakilala bilang "Calolbon".
Noong 1964, isang panukalang batas ang iniharap sa Kongreso ng Pilipinas upang palitan ang pangalan ng bayan na San Andres bilang parangal sa patron nito, si St. Andrew the Apostle. Ang panukalang batas na ito ay inaprubahan bilang Republic Act No. 3948 noong ika-18 ng Hunyo ng parehong taon. Gustung-gusto ng maraming Calolbonganon ang lumang pangalan, isang pangalang ginamit mula pa noong unang panahon at natatangi sa buong kapuluan. Nagalit sila na wala pang boto sa referendum. "Ang pagpapalit ng Calolbon sa San Andres nang hindi sumasangguni sa mga taong-bayan," sabi ng isang katutubo, "Is a r**e of democracy." Ngunit para sa mga malalim na relihiyoso at lubos na nakatuon kay St. Andres, ang pagbabago mula Calolbon patungong San Andres ay walang pinagkaiba sa pagpapalit ng isang paganong pangalan sa isang Kristiyano.
Ang legal na pag-iral ng munisipalidad na ito bilang Calolbon ay maipapakita mula sa unang Parish Priest na nakatala, si Rev. Cornelio de Jesus na nagministeryo sa mga espirituwal na pangangailangan ng bayan sa loob ng 29 na taon simula Abril 1798. Pagkatapos ay isang panukalang batas na nagpapalit ng pangalan sa bayan bilang "San Andres" ay iniharap sa Kongreso at inaprubahan sa pamamagitan ng Republic Act No. 3948 noong Hunyo 18, 1964. Mula roon ang munisipalidad na kilala bilang 'Calolbon" ay opisyal na kinilala bilang "San Andres" hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

HISTORY OF CATANDUANES
Several legends try to explain the origin of the name “Catanduanes”. One legend states that Catanduanes came from the word “tandu”, a native click bettle that was abundant throughout the island. “Katanduan” then was the reference made of this island. When the Spaniards came, it was corrupted from katanduan to Catanduanes.
Another legend says that the name actually originated from the word “samdong”, a tree that once abounded in the island, which people consequently called “kasamdongan”, meaning a place of many “samdong”. The word was also hispanized, perhaps because of the difficulty of the Spaniards in pronouncing words ending in “ng”. From “kasamdongan”, it became “katandungan”, which gradually metamorphosed to Catanduanes. Still some historians point that katandungan is a Malay word that means “a place of refuge in time of danger,” for indeed, this island has always been the refuge of mariners during stormy weather.
Catanduanes is an island province located in the Bicol Region of Luzon in the Philippines. It is the 12th-largest Island in the Philippines. Its capital is Virac. Catanduanes is known as the “Land of the Howling Winds” because most typhoons brewed in the Pacific pass through this easternmost island province of Luzon. But on better days, pack your bags and explore this rugged adventure island. Catanduanes has a great deal to offer to guests with its varied blend of Spanish Colonial churches, waterfalls, waves perfect for surfing, and beaches that are still untouched even for most of the locals.
