Everything listed for Garcia Hernandez in Now

Created: Garcia-Hernandez became a municipality by a Superior Decree issued on 27 May 1854 by Governor Captain General Manuel Pavia y Lay. It was formally inaugurated on 24 June 1854.^[9]

How it got its name

The town is named for two Recollect friars who backed its petition for townhood: Padre Narciso Hernandez of Guindulman and Padre Jose Garcia of Loon. Residents agreed on the name at a March 1854 assembly.^{[9, 11]}

Local traditionThe old settlement was called Sinogboan, from a Visayan root meaning to immerse. Oral history says mud pools there let carabao and deer wallow.^[9]

Its story

Sinogboan was one of the political districts (cabecerias) of Jagna in the 18th century. A mission chapel (visita) of San Juan Bautista was set up there on 24 June 1768.^[9]

Distance and floods on the Manaba river made the trip to Jagna hard, so local leaders sought their own town. A first petition sent to Manila in 1850 was turned down.^[9]

In 1854 the people built a public school and a town hall to meet the conditions for townhood, and the petition then succeeded. The first gobernadorcillo was the music teacher Mariano Cuadra.^[9]

In 1880 the church, government seat and school moved from Sinogboan (afterward called Lungsodaan, the old town) to Manaba, the new Poblacion. The present church was built from 1884 to 1896.^[9]

Juan Cadiz served as Capitan Municipal when the earliest Filipino civil government was set up on 25 December 1898.^[9]

During the Filipino-American war the Americans burned the whole town in 1901, according to the town commemorative book excerpt.^[9]
