QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE LGU (Brief and preferably in bullet form only) a. Brief Historical Background The history of Bambang, like most towns in the country, has its beginning in the early period of Spanish Colonization. Hence, to understand and appreciate its history, it is worth calling to mind that Spanish conquest of the Philippines was motivated by political, economic and religious reasons. It is not surprising to see religious missionaries going through the wilderness of the country’s virgin forests and valleys. It is worth bearing in mind that the three major aims of Spanish Colonization were: economic wealth, political glory and to spread Christian faith. It is therefore not surprising to see brave and dedicated religious missionaries plodding their way, side by side with the sword-bearing colonizers and conquistadores, through the thick jungles and up and down unchartered rivers. In fact, the first white men ever seen by the natives were those cross- bearing missionaries. The first mission that dared to penetrate the dangerous wilderness and insect-infested jungles of what is Southern Nueva Vizcaya today was by Dominican Order in 1607. However, it was only two years later (1609) when a Dominican Missionary coming from Pangasinan, Father Tomas Gutierrez by name arrived to establish the first missionary settlement. This settlement was subsequently called the “Ytuy” which today actually comprises the town of Aritao, Bambang and a part of the Igorot region to the West (now Kayapa). Originally, these places were inhabited by the Aetas and the Panypuyes (Aritao), the Ilongots (Dupax and Bambang) and the Igorots in the area west of Bambang and Aritao. The Isinays of today, who for the present day native population of Dupax, Aritao and Bambang, came about by the inter-marriages of the tribes mentioned above. Although the seat of the vast missionary settlement of the Ytuy, which was Aritao, were established as early as 1609, it was not until 1751 when Father Franco was able to persuade the natives scattered in the area now called Bambang, to coverage into one settlement. The site selected is now the Barangay of San Fernando two kilometers east of the present town proper. This site, however, was found small for a growing community, so the villagers were transferred to Punawa in 1775. Traces and ruins of old stone wells at the base of the hill, a kilometer east of Bambang proper could still be found before the last world war. Now they are gone because of intensive development of the area.

Later, in the same year (1775) Father Franco was transferred and Father Domingo Caro took his place. They already have the rudiments of government. At the head of their government was chieftain who is responsible for the welfare of his people. Under his leadership, the people built granaries on top of what is now Damaso Perez Hill. Here, the rice and corn they produced were stored for the consumption of the whole community. Wells were also constructed to supply them with potable water. They also had developed a highly articulated language of their own which is different and distinct from those of other languages in the country. They composed their own songs and sang them during socio-religious rites and occasions such as harvest festivals, burials and marriages. The missionaries also found the natives engaged in different economic activities. They engaged in agriculture and produced their own cereal. They raised domesticated animals such as dogs that they used for hunting. A highlight of their economic activities was the practice of bartering. This was evidenced by the iron implements and tools they used for agriculture and hunting. They also have porcelain wares which definitely come from people of other places. This proves beyond doubt that before the Spaniards come to Bambang, the natives have had early contacts with the outside world. Influence of the cultures of the people was also evident in their native attires. They wore clothes woven from local materials and adorned themselves with beads and bracelets and other trinkets. In 1751, Father Urmaza was transferred leaving Father Franco alone in the gigantic task of attending to the spiritual needs of the newly- converted natives. He, therefore, felt a need to converge them in one site. The site selected is now what we call Barangay San Fernando, a verdant plain two kilometers east of the present town proper. With the passage of time, the community grew and Barangay San Fernando site could no longer accommodate all the natives, so in 1773, a new site was located now called Sitio Punawa. There, the people settled once again, built their houses and communal barns, and constructed a temporary convent and church. Ruins of brick walls could still be found at the Tabangan Hill in Punawa before World War II. Unfortunately, traces of this place in the area are gone. April 13, 1774 was red-letter day for the settlers of Punawa. On this day, the first Holy mass was said and the people adopted the name Sta. Maria de Abiang. The Village chieftain at that time was Beorang who was given the Christian name Vicente after his conversion to christianity. He was succeeded by Dalimag who was christened Nicolas Dalimag Calderon. In 1777, the village people transferred to a place within the vicinity of a pit (Ibangbang in Isinay) where the warring Ilongots and Igorots buried their tribal dead. Incidentally, the name of the new town Bambang was derived from the term Ibangbang. The villagers chose Sta. Catalina de Siena as the town’s patron saint and she remains so this day. Miguel Peñalosa is said to have been the first elected gobernadorcillo of Bambang. However, on September 16, 1782, the title for the town’s executive was changed to Alcalde de Naturales. The first to be given the title was Nicolas Dalimag Calderon. The period between 1782 and 1789 saw the rise of permanent edifices like the Casa Tribal, the church and separate school buildings for boys and girls. With the American occupation of the Philippines in 1902, came monumental changes. Educational opportunities offered to most of the townfolks’ greatly influenced the politicals, social and economic development of the town. With the influx of immigrants from as far north as Cagayan and south as the Visayas, Bambang became the melting pot of different ethnic groups.

b. Geo-physical Characteristics

i.

Location and Total Land Area The municipality of Bambang lies in the southern portion of the Province of Nueva Vizcaya and around 251 kilometers north of Manila and 16 kilometers from the Provincial Capitol Bayombong, It is traversed from the north to south by the national highway (Daang Maharlika), which major thoroughfare is going either north to Cagayan or to the south going to Manila. The total land area is 66, 372 hectares. The reorganized ten municipals for the Province of Nueva Vizcaya are Aglipay, Aritao, Bagabag, Bambang, Bayombong, Diffun, Dupax, Kayapa, Maddela and Solano. The Municipality of Bambang is bounded by the following: On the north by the municipalities of Ambaguio and Bayombong On the northeast by the municipality of Quezon On the southeast by the municipality of Kasibu. On the northwest by the municipality of Kayapa On the southwest by the municipality of Aritao. On the south by the municipalities of Dupax del Sur and Dupax del Norte;

ii. Topography The municipality is naturally formed to have a mixture of wavy topography, from relatively flat terrain mostly found in its central part of the municipality to hilly and rolling terrain in the northwest and south, and up to steeply mountainous in the east and west. The flat terrain has at its lowest elevation of 300 meters above sea level (asl) which is traversed by the national highway that basically divides the municipality in to eastern and western sections. The highest peaks are at the mountain ranges found in the western portion of the municipality with an elevation of 1,625 meters asl, while the other is at the southern portion at 1, 310 meters elevation. Majority of the area of the municipality is in the elevation range between 0 to 500 meters (asl) comprising about 52.74% of its total area. The elevations of the different areas in the municipality.

iii. Climate Climate in the Philippines is based on rainfall distribution that occurs in its respective area. The town of Bambang generally belongs to the 3rd type of climate where it experiences: a) Dry Season – which starts from November to mid-May, and b) Wet Season – which starts from Mid-May to October NB: due to climate change, the PAGASA noted a significant change of the climate period a) b)

Dry Season – which starts from September 16 to March 15 Wet Season – which starts from March 16 to September 15

The most prominent climatic factor affecting the municipality is the southwest monsoon and the South Pacific Trends. Some rainy days are experienced during the months of December, January and February which are influenced by the northwest monsoon that passes through the province from the northwest and east. The average rainfall recorded in the monitoring station at Consuelo Reforestation Projects in Sta. Fe, which is assumed to be similar with Bambang, is 196.10 millimeters per year.
