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.
