Municipality of San Remigio
a third class municipality in the province of
Cebu, Philippine.
- The Origin of San Remigio
San Remigio was a formerly known
as "Kanghagas",a kind of tree that grew abundantly in the
place.
When the Spanish
conquistadores came, they identified a town site by clearing the Kanghagas
trees through self-help labor. It was governed by a captain or gobernadorcillo.
Kanghagas was a barangay unit of
Punta. Sometimes in the early 1800, Punta was renamed Punta Isabel, in honor of
Queen Isabela II of Spain. This marked the beginning of its social and
educational advancement because people from the scattered area learned to
settle in a common place.
About the later part of the
1820s, the Spaniards converted Punta Isabel into a town headed by its first
Gobernadorcillo, Capitan Juan Goopio, through a representative election
participated in by the Cabezas de Barangay of the six original barangays,
namely: Hagnaya, Punta, Bangtad (Lambusan}, Victoria, Kanghagas and Mano.
When the marauding Moro pirates
swept through the shores of northern Cebu, the townfolks organized themselves
into homeguards through ronda system under the command of a Spanish sentinel,
by the name of Remigio Multon. His bravery and heroism during the fight against
the pirates gained himself distinction as he was honored by prefixing the word
"San" to his name--to lend religious dignity to his name. In addition
to his honor, Kanghagas was later renamed as San Remigio which later on became
the seat of the local government. As a sign of gratitude to him the residents
named the town in his honor and endowed him with saintly assets. Eventually,
San Remigio became the name of the town as this replaces Punta Isabel.
