History & Identity

Bayambang's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Bayambang in Now

How it got its name

Local traditionOral tradition says the name comes from the Pangasinan word balangbang, meaning waist. A Spaniard asked a native the name of the place and he pointed to his waist.[9]

Local traditionAnother account says the name comes from kulibangbang, a plant that grew in large numbers there before the Spanish came.[9]

Local traditionA third account links the name to bayang-bayang, the scarecrows used to drive birds away from ripening rice.[9]

Its story

Before the Spanish, a settlement called Malunguey or Balunguey stood west of today's town.[9]

The Spanish noted that the land lay near the Agno River and was good for farming. In 1614 it became a visita of the Binalatongan vicariate.[9]

In 1619 the Dominican Provincial Chapter accepted it as a vicariate under Saint Vincent Ferrer.[9]

The town once covered Alcala and Santo Tomas in Pangasinan and Paniqui, Gerona and Camiling in Tarlac. Its territory shrank late in the 19th century when these became their own municipalities.[9]

On 12 November 1899 Bayambang became the fifth capital of the Philippine Revolutionary Republic under Emilio Aguinaldo.[9]
