History of Divisoria

A brief history of Brgy Divisoria

Long time ago, Barangay Divisoria is only a small sitio of Barangay San Vicente, Mexico, Pampanga. Among the prominent families in the barangay are the following: Magdaleno Lacandola, Lorenzo Colis, Juan Colis, Pelagia M. Reyes, Gregorio Mendoza, Gonzalo Gomez, Arcadio Bonus, Candido Colis Sr., Alejandro C. Bautista, Raymunda Catu, Emilio Jimenez, Juan Colis Sr., Clemente Yumul, Gregorio Macabali, Perfecto Yumul, Crisanto Colis, Ciung Colis.

During elections, the people residing in sitio Divisoria cast their votes in Barangay San Vicente together with the residents of sitio Sebitanan (which was meanwhile part of Barangay Panipuan, and is now known as Barangay Nueva Victoria) due to their little population.

In 1970, when Dr. Tomas Guevarra was elected mayor of the town of Mexico, the people in sitios Divisoria and Sebitanan made a petition requesting that these two sitios be joined together to form a new barangay. The barangay soon was called Nueva Victoria. When it was approved, election booths were placed in sitio Divisoria, although each has its own school and chapel. 
Fast forward to 1990s, primarily due to the growing number of residents and some minor reasons (e.g the bridge that remarkably divide Divisoria and Sebitanan, community conflicts),, these two sitios later on came to be separate barangays. Divisoria retained its name while sitio Sebitanan got Nueva Victoria.

For those who are asking about the etymology, there are no written records as to how the barangay got its name. We will update this and share it as soon as we get information. God bless!

What is a Barangay?

The definition of a barangay

From Wikipedia.org:
"A barangay (Brgy. or Bgy.; Filipino: baranggay, [baɾaŋˈɡaj]), formerly called barrio, is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. In colloquial usage, the term often refers to an inner city neighbourhood, a suburb or a suburban neighborhood. The word barangay originated from balangay, a kind of boat used by a group of Austronesian peoples when they migrated to the Philippines. 
 Local government hierarchy. The dashed lines emanating from the
president means that the President only exercises general supervision on local government.
Municipalities and cities are composed of barangays, and they may be further subdivided into smaller areas called purok (English: zone), and sitio, which is a territorial enclave inside a barangay, especially in rural areas. As of September 30, 2012, there were a total of 42,028 barangays throughout the Philippines."
"The term "barangay" may also colloquially refer to a large group of people. An example is Barangay Ginebra, the name of supporters of the Ginebra San Miguel basketball team. In 1999, the team was renamed Barangay Ginebra Kings in homage to its fans."
In a speech delivered by Rep. Edcel C. Lagman for an oath-taking ceremony, he defined barangay as “the smallest yet greatest political unit”. He also gave a details on the state of becoming of the barangay that we have now.

“As barangay officials, it would be best to understand the history of this unique political unit so as to better recognize its indispensability to effective local and national governance.

10 things you need to know about Kapampangans

So you want to live in Pampanga, or room with a Kapampangan, or even marry a Kapampangan?  Prepare for a bumpy ride!  Here are tips to help you survive the company of this much-admired, much-reviled, and much-misunderstood people:

1.      Kapampangans talk loud when they’re together.  They enjoy listening to themselves and to the sound of their language.  They love their language with a child’s love for his mother, calling it amanung sisuan (“suckled word”).  They’d navigate across a crowded room to find anyone speaking in Kapampangan, and when they do, they’d gush like long-lost friends.  They sound like they’re arguing, but they’re actually just tracing their six degrees of separation in search of a blood relation or a common acquaintance.  You can’t blame them for savoring each other’s company.  There are only 2 million of them left on earth, compared to 22 million Tagalogs, 20 million Cebuanos and 8 million Ilocanos.

The Mais Festival in Mexico

The fourth of May marks the town fiesta in the municipality of Mexico. After several years, the feast committee decided to relive the Mais Festival, since there is a really good number of the pupul mais or corn harvest this season.

There are several events to sizzle up the feast week like a cooking show and a ladies' beauty pageant.

Maleldo 2014

Maleldo is the local term for the Lent in Pampanga. Also kaleldo.

San Fernando all set for ‘Maleldo’


CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The City Government of San Fernando is all set for their yearly observance of the Lenten week here as the city finished preparations for at least three crucifixion rites in three different barangays.

This, as Mayor Edwin Santiago launched on Monday "Maleldo" 2014. The mayor officially presented the members of the Executive Committee that are tasked to prepare for the conduct of the city’s Lenten season attraction.

"Considering the great number of visitors and guests coming to San Fernando for this yearly affair, we assure our people that the City Government is prepared for any eventuality and has taken the necessary measures to ensure that order and safety prevail," he added.

Around 50,000 to 60,000 local and foreign tourists are expected to troop to the re-enactment sites, prompting the city government to mobilize some 500 security personnel, including 250 uniformed and plainclothes operatives from the Philippine National Police, emergency medical teams from the City Health Office and San Fernando Rescue Unit and enforcers and aides from the Traffic Management Department.

Maleldo is a re-enactment of Christ’s crucifixion, is practiced by devotees each year. The tradition originated in 1955 with the staging of the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross), a street play written in Kapampangan by Ricardo Navarro.

Maleldo executive committee chairman Harvey Quiwa said that the three "crucifixion" sites in barangays San Juan, Sta. Lucia and the main "Golgotha" area in San Pedro Cutud where the "Via Crusis" will be played on Good Friday are all prepared.

He added that Capitol has agreed to lend the entire compound for parking where pedicabs and calesas will be on standby those going to the main site after the cut-off time of 10:00 a.m. It is also the main assembly area.

Tourists may also join in the Good Friday processions after the crucifixion rites at the San Fernando Cathedral.

Aside from these, pilgrims and tourists may also visit local churches for the Visita Iglesia on Maundy Thursday. Visita Iglesia is a Catholic tradition of visiting at least seven churches and praying before the Blessed Sacrament enthroned in the various Altars of Repose in different churches.

City tourism officer Ching Pangilinan said that interested tourists may coordinate with the city tourism office for further details of the event adding that there will be heightened security for the safety of foreign and local tourists.

"We are also on social media so those going to the city for Maleldo could get updates and latest advisories," she said.

Mayor Edwin Santiago, for his part, encouraged Fernandinos to support in the preservation of the decades-long tradition as well as observe the solemnity of Maleldo.

"Aside from participating in Maleldo activities where the safety of local and foreign tourists is foremost, we would like everyone to join us in reflecting about the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ and observe the solemnity of Lent," he said.


Why is the Balloon Fest held in Lubao this year (and not in Clark)

Photo credits to Citypress.co.za
When February was approaching, a lot of people were excited to once again witness the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF) that has been held annually in Clark, Pampanga. Suprisingly, the said event was moved to Lubao town and was scheduled to start on April instead, so a lot of people were confused. There were also a lot of questions raised as to why was the event not held as expected.

Here's why.

PIHABF has an Official Organizing Committee. Last year's festival was really huge "featuring more balloons than ever, the highly impressive Breilting Jet Acrobatic Team, and the myriad of other flying, ground and static events". So that particular organizing committee decided not to hold this year's event because they felt that "the length of time allocated for them to learn the processes and preparations for this kind of activity is too short".
That being said, this year's organizers are of another committee. It is actually the Department of Tourism (DOT) headed by Mr. Ronnie Tiotuico together with Philippine Exhibits and Themeparks Corporation (PETCO) that host the event for this year in Lubao.
Photo from Philippine Star Facebook page

Here's the part of the official statement from the PIHABF Organizing Committee:
The decision not to hold a Fiesta this year was not undertaken lightly. From the perspective of the PIHABF organizers, our 2013 event (featuring more balloons than ever, the highly impressive Breilting Jet Acrobatic Team, and the myriad of other flying, ground and static events) would be a hard act to follow without allowing sufficient time to plan, prepare and book new and interesting activities. 
We believe that by suspending the 2014 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, allowing our organizing committee more time to secure a suitable venue for the fiesta and investing more time in planning, securing sponsorships and implementing enhancements, we can offer our public spectators a truly safe and world-class event in 2015. 
PIHABF will not be part of the April 2014 event in Clark, Pampanga. We will not participate in the planning, organization or staging of the event. We disclaim any association with the organization or management of the said event.
So for those who were expecting a Hot-air balloon fiesta in Clark, we'll wait a little bit longer for a bigger and better festival in 2015!


Pampanga according to Wikipedia

Pampanga is a province of the Philippines located in the Central Luzon region. Its capital is the City of San Fernando. Pampanga is bordered by the provinces of Bataan and Zambales to the west, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija to the north, and Bulacan to the southeast. Pampanga also lies on the northern shore of Manila Bay. Angeles City, although geographically within Pampanga, is classified as a first-class, highly urbanized city and has a government independent of the province.

The name "La Pampanga" was given by the Spaniards who found the early natives living near the river banks. It also served as the capital of the archipelago for two years from 1762–1764 during the British invasion of Manila. The word pampang, from which the province's name originates, means river bank. Its creation in 1571 makes it the first Spanish province in the Philippines. The Province of Pampanga is the culinary capital of the Philippines.

Pampanga is served by the Clark International Airport, which is located at Clark Freeport Zone, some 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north of the provincial capital. The province is home to two Philippine Air Force air bases, Basa Air Base in Floridabalanca, and Clark Air Base in Angeles City. The province is also honored as one of the 8 rays of the sun in the national flag because of its revolt against the domination of Spaniards.

About the Province

GENERAL INFORMATION

HISTORY

The Name of Pampanga 

Pampanga derived its name from the Kapampangan words "pangpang ilog" meaning "riverside" where the early Malayan settlements were concentrated along the Rio Grande de la Pampanga. SOURCE: http://www.andropampanga.com/index.htm

Pampanga was the first province and the richest spoil created by the Spaniards in 1571. It was named after the Indung Kapampangan River, the largest river in the former empire. Ancient Pampanga's territorial area used to include portions of the provinces of Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Tarlac and Zambales in the big Island of Luzon of the Philippine Archipelago.

Pampanga, one of the richest provinces in the Philippines, was re-organized as a province by the Spaniards on December 11, 1571. For governmental control and taxation purposes, the Spanish authorities subdivided Pampanga into towns (pueblos), which were further subdivided into districts (barrios) and in some cases into royal and private estates (encomiendas).

Due to excessive abuses committed by some grantees of private estates, the King of Spain prohibited in 1574 the awarding of private estates (encomiendas). However, the royal decree was not fully enforced until the year 1620. In a report of Philippine encomiendas on June 20, 1591, Spanish Governor Gomez Perez Dasmarinas reported to the King of Spain that La Pampanga's encomiendas were Bataan, Betis y Lubao, Macabebe, Candava, Apalit, Calumpit, Malolos, Binto, Guiguinto, Caluya, Bulacan and Mecabayan. The encomiendas of La Pampanga at that time had eighteen thousand six hundred and eighty whole tributes.

Pampanga which is about 850 square miles (2,200 km2) in area and presently inhabited by more than 1.5 million people, had its present borders drawn in 1873. During the Spanish regime it was one of the richest Philippine provinces. Manila and its surrounding region were then primarily dependent on Pampangan agricultural, fishery, and forestry products as well as on the supply of skilled workers. As other Luzon provinces were created due to increases in population, some well-established Pampanga towns were lost to new emerging provinces in Central Luzon.

During the 17th century, The Dutch recruited men from Pampanga as mercenaries served the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, known as Papangers contingent which was a part of the larger Mardijkers community. Their legacy can still be found in North Jakarta, however there are no traces of their descendants, except for a small community currently lives in Kampung Tugu.

The historic province of Bataan which was founded in 1754 under the administration of Spanish Governor General Pedro Manuel Arandia, absorbed from the province of Pampanga the municipalities of Abucay, Balanga, Dinalupihan, Llana Hermosa, Orani, Orion, Pilar, and Samal.

The old Pampanga towns of Aliaga, Cabiao, Gapan, San Antonio and San Isidro were ceded to the province of Nueva Ecija in 1848 during the term of Spanish Governor-General Narciso Claveria y Zaldua. The municipality of San Miguel de Mayumo of Pampanga was yielded to the province of Bulacan in the same provincial boundary configuration in 1848.

In 1860, the northern towns of Bamban, Capas, Concepcion, Victoria, Tarlac, Mabalacat, Magalang, Porac and Floridablanca were separated from Pampanga and were placed under the jurisdiction of a military command called Comandancia Militar de Tarlac. However, in 1873, the four latter towns were returned to Pampanga and the other five towns became municipalities of the newly created Province of Tarlac.

On December 8, 1941, Japanese planes bombed Clark Air base marking the beginning of the invasion of Pampanga.

Between 1941 and 1942, occupying Japanese forces began entering Pampanga.

During the Counter-Insurgencies under the Japanese Occupation from 1942 to 1944, Kapampangan guerrilla fighters and the Hukbalahap Communist guerrillas was foought side by side around in the province of Pampanga and attacking and retreating the Japanese Imperial forces from the couple of three years and few month of fighting and invasion.

Aurora) Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales and aided the local guerrilla resistance fighters, Hukbalahap Communist guerrillas and the U.S. military forces against the Imperial Japanese armed forces.
