SAN JUANBrgy. Chairman: EFIPANIO J. ARMOBIT
Prior to the Spanish conquest
of the Islands, San Juan was called “Pintong Gubat” because it was literally a
forest where wild animals abound. When it was established as a barrio in 1861.
It was renamed San Juan,
in honor of Governadocillo Don Juan Cajucom.The earliest settlers were mostly Ilocanos who were responsible in clearing the land. Upon order of the Governadorcillo. Roads were built leading to the nearly sitios and barrios for the transportation of their crops. That marked the beginning of San Juan progress.
During the dark days of the last global war. San Juan has a Huk don. As was to be expected. The hard fact was the Huks were there only to safeguard the security of the barrio. San Juan’s uphill climb to progress started in 1966. President Diosdado Macapagal’s roads-building programs resulted is paving of the national road that slices through the barrio. Then same electric power and electric appliances in the community multiplied like mushrooms. It was in 1965 that the barrio had its complete elementary school. The desire of the education department to bring the school and the people closer to each other was realized in the barrio. The net result of this was the improvement of the school and its promises. Under the leadership of Barangay Captain Momerto Lesagpi, his councilmen, and with the cooperation of the barangay residents, San Juan with its 500 hectares of the land and 3,000 people will match ahead to prosperity. Add to this the presence of irrigation system and an imposing chapel which houses its patron Saint San Juan de Dios. |
